Hi guys having problems with above she is missing around2000rpm but cuts back in if throttle floored also sometimes goes dead when turning key to start.

Also mileometer and trip only display top half of numbers any thoughts?

Dash display is a common issue... The ribbon that the display presses onto has detached slightly.

As for the motor, when was last service? At first thought it could be Cam/Crank Position Sensor but only a guess without being there ;)

Hi Jack thanks for the imfo can the ribbon be stuck back on? Where is the sensor and how do I test it ? cheers alan.

Yes, the contact-block/ribbon can be re-seated. Its a fiddly job... Once you get to the part it needs cleaning with alcohol or similar then re-seating ;)

You need to have her checked for fault codes buddy ;)
