Thanks Verity!

When the problem first happened I had the lambda sensor replaced and assumed the lambda wiring would be replaced at the same time. Obviously not.

After searching forum after forum i suggested taking the coating off and checking the wiring.... And there it was!

Putting my foot down and feeling the power compared to the Alto made my day today!!!

So happy!!! :D

I'm actually day dreaming about the day that I get my polo back on the road and I can stop driving the Perouda around. Not only power, but not having a fear of the car taking flight in hard winds! Haha I swear I'm gonna get blown into a bush one day soon!

Hahahaha I got that feeling in the Alto every time it was over 50mph! The scariest time was gale force winds, the A1 and chucking down rain...... Awful! :shock:

Anyway, some purchases have arrived..... To be sorted this weekend, then exhaust off on Monday! :D

Not that impressed with this, for £20 anyway! I'll see how it looks when the wiper comes off then decide. Might just be me being picky!

Mirrors quite simple should just twist off with a firm grip and vice versa to put back on :-)

Just don't do what I did with my golf years ago and smash the windscreen TWICE! By trying to push it on lol just remember to twist untill it clicks in :-)
