as above i am trying to install a single sub box and have found that it likes to fly around in the boot. i have heard some people mount these to the bottom of the parcel tray? i want to mount it as clean as possible. if anyone has done this it would be great if you had a photo, many thanks for your input, Charlie -

hey, yes the same symptoms, i got it fixed, it was the crank angle sensor. thanks for that suggestion, i wasnt thinking it could be sensors before. Charlie -
hey guys, the overheating problm was solved in the 328 =), but less than a week later whilst driving home from work i noticed the gearbox did not want to tap down gears easily (automatic) and when i stoped and started at traffic lights i notices it was thuddering or vibrating when i initially accelerated (with decreased performance). it takes a few more ticks to start now also. I have had coils and spark plugs checked and they are all fine..... i appreciate any input, thank you What could be wrong? many thanks, Charlie
