ive just been to vaux there and it was £23 inc vat but was talkin to one of the mechanics and he said the way its idling sounds more like an air leak, either way ive booked it in to go on tech 2 on tuesday and hopefully it will show up the problem, they know whats been replaced etc  so fingers crossed it sorts itself out

Just go down scrappers and 'borrow' them. 
 
I changed the entire lot of sensors on my car to confirm the cause. Cost me nothing but a couple £ petrol to scrappers and back!

go on here http://www.topbuzz.co.uk/ 
 
then into the tech info section then scroll down to reading ecu fault codes then get reading. sticking the paper clip in to find the codes is as easy as sticking ur finger.......................... enough said
