sounds likely to be a sensor gone silly... air flow or o2 at a guess...
is it stinking of fuel??

or a really REALLY clogged ICV perhaps?

do the paperclip test and see what comes up and look on topbuzz.co.uk to find out what the fault codes are and then fix the problems

if i do LET it, i will put it off the road until sometime next year i think, make sure all the correct bits are their. it is turning me on the thought of a LET nova though

why not get the XE up and running again, and thrash that about whilst accumulating all the bits you need to create a beast of a LET Nova
