Gearbox oil is highly unlikely as this was Andy's car previously. Favourite for me Luke would be the mani/CAT/system joints. These are notorious for leaks.
What are you calling the left hand side of the car??
Top Dead Centre sensor, it tells the ECU what 'position' the engine is in and as such determines how the ECU feeds fuel etc in.
Strange how this has happened after they've had it in bits though.
As said, a small bag of silica crystals (as you get in shoe boxes etc) strategically placed will absorb all the moisture.
Make sure the rubber seals are fitted correctly too.
I doubt it's a lock issue, sounds more like a control signal problem. The UCH controls locking/unlocking (obviously) but the method used (remote/dash button) will determine the UCH's response.
First thing I'd do is take the door card off and check for any loose connections etc.
Stalling could be a number of things, from a dodgy spark plug (did you ever change them?) to a TDC sensor issue.
I'd try and get it back to Perrys ASAP as if it's whining then something obviously aint right and the last thing you want is the belt snapping.
So it wasn't the idler then?
Personally I'd take it back to Perrys and tell them to sort it as they changed the belt and it wasn't whining before.
Is it getting worse?
Insurance is circa £40 a month, fuel probably about the same so £80 a month all in.
Tax/Mot etc are lump sum payments.
So, out of my monthly income, it equates to about 5% I guess.
Might just be the circlip that has failed, quite common. Buy a new clip and some new grease and put it all back together, 30 mins and only a few ££'s - job done.
