So have decided to stick with her and get the niggles fixed, booked in for diagnostics a week thurs to see what's causing this missfire. Secondly have just bought another set of wheels from Clive, this is the one thing I reckon willard the biggest change for me as right now I do not enjoy driving it at all and I reckon my buckled wheels play a part but the infinity tyres totally ruin it. Tbh it feels unsafe, twitchy, shakey, squirmy and no grip whatsoever as soon as a bit of rain makes and appearance! I will keep my old wheels and fit winter tyres when I have spare cash for the bad weather times. I am sure at somepoint I will refurb the wheels I got from Clive but they look pretty damnt good though a different colour would be chosen for that set, nice contrast for the seasons.
This means I will have to get round to fitting my reversing sensors that have been stuck in my locker since June and also lower her with springs I got from Leigh in June or July too lol. Cannot wait for the wheels to arrive so I can go for a good drive and hopefully feel the love again cheers a'body for the advice and suggestions, all brilliant tbh and honest

Fitted the wheels yesterday and you would not believe the difference they have made, the car grips, steering has proper feedback not the inane dribblings of a basket case it had with the old ones on. Also no longer do i feel like I am driving on 50p pieces Far far happier already, also regapped my sparkies and bit early to tell but waiting to see if eml reappears soon. Think I will fire on the new disks I have sitting in my mates shed and rid of mair vibrationey goodness
