Firstly, please accept my sincerest apoplogies for not bieng " on-line " as much as I should have been over the last couple of months of last year
As most of you may already be aware that I had to get the cylinder head " skimmed " on my daughters 1.6 Saxo. The car had done a " whopping " 175 miles since the head was done, when the Saxo broke down with " no drive " at all. I checked the transmission fluid to see if the fluid level droppped, when she was started, this was not the case, which meant that the " pump splines " had been " stripped ". This was the case when I removed the " pump rod " with the splines on. I had to drop both the engine and the auto box out through the bottom of the engine bay with my engine crane, as the gearbox was to heavy for me to lift out on my own.
After the engine and the replacement automatic gearbox were refitted, the Saxo was " hunting " when she had got warmed up, I renewed the coolant temperature sensor for the E.C.U. This rectified this fault. Also, the car was idling fine, until you put it into drive, then it would " stall ". I renewed the MAP sensor, This has cured that fault completly and the car is now starting with the correct amount of " fast-idle ". And the Saxo is now running and driving like new, as it should do
This has put me back quite a while with all my other work, I need to get a new repair kit for the rear height corrector on the BX and also get it ready for its M.O.T soon.
Anyway, please accept my apoplogies to everyone
All the best
Vince.
The good thing the " said Saxo " hasn,t been an ounce of trouble at all, now for a whole 6 weeks. 
if you don,t mind me asking 
having to go into hospital, I hope it isn,t serious
