first the starter motor packs in at the same time the distibutor packed in this caused all hell of problems (thanx for the help Aragorn and corsanova_mark) then my ecu decides to earth out when ever i bolt it in its place under the dash (ive been told its earthing out ) if its hanging there the car runs ... as soon as it touches the screw that it fixes too the engine jus cuts out?? then my ignition barrel decides to naff up :( now my remote central locking has fucked up ive got a fuse to control it but it just pops fuses when ever i try to unlock the car ... because ive delocked i have to enter the car from the boot!!!! but now im to scared to drive the damm thing incase it catches fire what do i do WHY ME!!!!!

you've just got bear with it mate. you've not long had the car. makes you think why the fella sold it so cheap. as for the ecu bit. get a rubber washer from a diy store etc and put the screw through that so theres no contact with the metal.
