Advice Needed

[spautoparts]

Hi everyone.. its been a while since ive posted on here but now im after some help and info on a few jobs that i need doing to my Terrano.
its had issues since the day i bought it last November which i was aware of which is why i got it for a very reasonable price. Anyway, any help or info on the following jobs would be gratefully received.

1) when i start it from cold or first start of the day it will splutter and then stall. if i hold the revs above 1000 rpm for about 5 secs after start up it splutters as usual but then all is ok.

2) sometimes when im pulling off from a junction or turning into a street the engine cuts out. It only does this if i let off the accelerator pedal and then press it again. Sometimes it does it when selecting gear from neutral to D or R (automatic gearbox)

3) when the gearbox reaches final gear at a around 55 mph i get a brief vibration from the gearbox. it feels like the gear is slipping before it engages properly. after that its smooth as anything.

4) Flexi exhaust pipe. is it a straight forward job as im doing it in the morning.

The first two faults do bring the management light on and always come up with injector needle lift sensor. but when i restart the engine it goes off and runs fine. sometimes it will go for weeks without cutting out and then it will do it 5 times in one journey. Its been doing it for the last 10 months since i bought it and never got any worse.

i was thinking of selling the car as ive had Terranos and Mavericks for the last 4 years and felt like a change but this car has so many positives aswell ie no rust or corrosion to the body, wings are solid and so is the whole of the floor and when it runs good its very nice to drive.

cheers in advance.
