Okay folks, first off pardon the lack of technically brilliant jargon :-) I took the 440 to a local garage which ( not surprisingly ) is no longer in business. This was an attempt to cure the stalling problem I'm sure you're all tired of hearing about ( 18 mths + ).
To cut a long story short, as far as I'm concerned they did nothing to the car, apart from the old 'mechanic's trick' of replacing a few obvious things to make it look good. One of these was the pipe which recirculates petrol vapours ( unburnt ) from the front of the engine to the back. They just used a black foamy pipe, much thicker / bigger than the original.
Does this matter? Also, you know the aluminium flexipipe ( like a cooker pipe ) that comes out of the air filter and goes back towards the manifold ... should that have holes in it? I'm sure it didn't before.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.
Tony.
