Am new to this forum (It's my first day
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Basically, it turns over and starts but then sort of splutters and cuts out. I have to either press the accelerator to the floor and release, then start the car (waiting a few minutes then for the engine to pick up as it gets warmer - if I don't, as soon as I press the accelerator it splutters and cuts out) or press the accelerator down slightly, start the car and keep reving it until it will keep going when I take my foot off the accelerator.
Hope I've described that well enough
![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
Did originally have a problem when I bought it whereby it randomly cut out when warming up but I found out this was down to a faulty air temperator sensor in the air filter - replaced with a second hand one from the scrap heap and it runs great now apart from the dodgy starting.
Any clues? Anybody had or got the same problem with their MK2? I mentioned the automatic choke - is this easy to set if it's this at fault? Also, the red light under the temperature gauge - is this supposed to stay on whilst the automatic choke is operating (mine blinks a few times when I turn the ignition and goes out)
I also have a problem with the speedo - occasionally the pointer sticks and I have to tap the dash. Can this be easily fixed or would I need to replace the whole dash?
Oh, I have too many questions to ask:

Read on here about installing a four light grill - mine only has two. Have just bought some halogen bulbs to replace the two candles I have up front (at first got the wrong ones as the original ones are the standard round bulbs - 45/40 with a P45T base.) Anyway, is it easy to replace with a four light one? How are the lights re-set or would that have to be done by an expert?

Also, where's the best place to buy bits 'n bobs for my polo? I look on e-bay buy they all seem to be parts for MKIII onwards. Would like things like clear front indicators (with orange bulbs instead) - just to customize it a bit more.

Any help that you can give is very much appreciated.
