Hey ive got an X12XE apparently, because i mentioned i had a 1.2 16V LS and they said its an X12XE. Ive cleaned the TB using spray greese and WD40 by squirting it in, and that helped my problem of morning starts, when the car hasn't ran for a while it would kangaroo, it does'nt do that anymore. But i have the problem with the EGR valve i reckon, because going over a certain amount of revs/speed the EML comes on, but clears. You feel the engine slow as the light comes on, but is normal when it clears.

Hey i bought a second hand EGR valve back in march, anyway, i think its sticking at points when revving high (over 3000rpm) and on motorways, the engine management light comes on, but then clears. I've read about someone similar problem, and someone said they got their dad to clean their EGR valve. Does anyone know how to do this as it will be such a great help. Thanks.
