I don't want or cant sell it like this its a lovely little car, please help!!!!!

   Sounds like you need a trip your local rollers, have you checked your fuel pressure ?

   i used pattern direct fit ( with plugs) lambdas and cat. and mot was done in March before i bought the car, i have only had the car about 3-4 weeks.
   it can only be the lambda, lambda wiring or ecu, i have tried everything else.
