Watched my dash cam footage and I should have had better awareness of my surroundings at the time. Fortunately the damage is minor.

December 8, 201510 yr My Sport Wagon's just started playing up, anyone used any of those Blue tooth phone app OBD2 scanners/readers? I'm thinking of getting one as they seem like a pretty good idea and may help me sort a few things out with my Scoob
December 8, 201510 yr Author Well worth the 5 quid or what ever from the bay, even if ut's juts to diagnose the odd code it will pay for it's self
December 8, 201510 yr Aww I see, no there's no engine light on the dash. The issue is it's started to stall. It starts fine and behaves it self but if I've just gone out for a short trip, stop to shopping for example, then get back in the car it starts fine but can't keep a revs up properly and stalls. I'm been trying to stop it from stalling doing toe-and-heel - very badly !! but when it's up to proper working temperature it's fine. Might be the auto-choke, or a temp sensor or some other dodgy sensor. Hence the need for an OBD2 scanners/reader :(
December 8, 201510 yr The self scan gives you all the codes that the car has registered. There is a guide on here somewhere. I'll grab the link and it may also help in the short term before your Bluetooth arrives.
December 8, 201510 yr Does it stall as you're coming to a round about and dip the clutch as you slow. ? If so sounds like a maf sensor. But could be couple of other things.

December 8, 201510 yr Ok cheers Scoobyghost. @ Gambit, not especially at roundabouts just whenever you let go of the throttle to brake for example, the revs just drop till it stalls, sometimes it just bobblings around at a couple of revs, close to stall but mostly it will just stall. It doesn't happen all the time and it's only when it's between working temperature and cold, when it's relying on the auto choke I'm guessing.
December 8, 201510 yr Sounds like the maf. But I'd just check everything is tight and pipes not split from the air intake. I'd also just give the throttle body a clean with some carb cleaner. See if that helps first. As it's cheaper to sort them issues. Could be another sensor but sounds like maf issue's.
December 8, 201510 yr Ok will try it cheers Gambit I wanted to put some engine flush through it this weekend but couldn't get the under tray off, I thought it was rare to see one on an older car then realized why, one of the bolts had seized, had to drill the f**k*r out! Then discovered I couldn't get the damn oil filter off either as that was seized on too, even with an oil filter wrench, Jesus I mean cummon! Anyways will try again at weekend will need to get a better filter wrench, one with a rubber strap not a chain, as they tend to tear into the filter.
December 8, 201510 yr Stick a screw driver through the filter to help get some turn on it. I've had to do that before I just hand tighten them now.
December 9, 201510 yr Blew off a Golf this morning through some corners, went into the corners with him on my bumper and left with him 10 meters behind ;). Job done!
