:( First off, after 5 weeks of ownership and 3000 miles my first fault arose,
the clutch master cylinder decided to fail, well that all fixed now, but it seems that when I change gear, the revs dont seem to drop very quickly after I take my foot off the accelerator, it feels like the accelerator cable is sticking ( I know this isnt the case as is DBW, before anyone says it!) This is great when really giving the car some stick as you always seem to get instant acceleration, but not good under slow acceleration. Any ideas?

Also, now the stereo has had its power supply removed its running in safe mode, but it has a number 2 on the bottom left of the display, have I got to get the damn thing recoded, as this is how it came back from the garage, who I guess have been playing with the buttons.

Finally, does anyone have the part number for the metal impeller water pump for an APP coded engine!

Cheers in advance:D

Id take a look at the clutch switch which fits inside the car by the master cylinder. Either it has an internal fault or not adjusted properly, you can test it through measured value blocks 66 field 3. If the engine ECU doesnt see a clutch signal the revs will stay high, sometimes the clutch switch wont bring up an engine light as it is a signal switch and cant check it self not like the brake switch which is a dual cotact type.

Cheers for that, will get it looked at, how is the clutch switch adjusted?
It was fine before the master cylinder was replaced, so I guess its out of adjustment?!
