Hi,
Please excuse any ignorance shown as I admit to not being mechanically minded hence the username!
I would just like some advice to add to that given by my garage. I ran the car for a few months after the exhaust end box fell off - I know, I know!! I won't do it again. It ran ok for that time until it started becoming irregular and had flat spots (ecu light on) and then virtually stopped. here I had a new exhaust fitted. Since this time it was ok at first but then again started, every so often to have the same problem and occassionally backfire. It is not all the time and at first seemed only to be when the petrol got low but now filling up does not seem to help. Has damp/water got into the system or is it more serious? Another strange thing, why does the ecu light come on only after returning via a channel ferry but not after sailing to France!
Thanks.
