Car was almost warmed up when it started to idle what seemed like way too high. I drove it back and it didn't feel too bad apart from revving to high.

It's also got fucked 'zaust hanger bolts which I think will need repairing for the MOT?? Anyone know?

It's a phase 1 mate. I'm close to thinking of scrapping the car and cutting my losses. I don't know if the sensor will fix it and I don't want to sink ££'s into a car which isn't worth much. I don't vitally need a car ATM anyway.

Bump. :D Any suggestion? Please.

Thanks dude. That worked.

The bracket on the engine side? I undid the bolt, bit it's still there just has some give. Thing is the battery won't move at all, so I can't tell what it's up against. This 'lip' thingy at the bottom of the battery on the engine side might be holding it fast? I dunno? Can't see how to get to it.

God I feel so useless. Battery went flat over a couple of weeks I think 'cos I left the bluetooth OBD plugged in. So I need to yank it out re-charge it inside (I live in a flat and can't run an extension). But the bloody thing just won't budge. I seems to be under a little lip on the engine...

Needs the pre-cat O2 sensor changing. I'm central Manchester and don't want to drive very far 'cos it drives terrible at the moment, will almost stall all the time. Thanks.:cool:

I'm worried it isn't the 02 sensor though because I haven't heard of this problem causing a terrible idle. It idles a little better when warm but is constantly almost stalling when idling. I have to give it a little throttle to keep it running. I fairly sure all cylinders are firing and I've...

I don't really have the ability to even jack it up where I live. All my tools are at my parents.

So I had this error code going back since I had to replace a injector. The code went away after the injector was changed, then it reappeared, except the car was running fine...until today. Today I drove the car, it was fine until after about 5 mins (it had warmed up) then stalled at a...

Diesel on black ice, the worst combination.

Re: Missfire on cylinder 3, new plugs, leads, coil and injector is working. Plug is b Just wondered if it could be an earthing problem?

Makes for a more exhilarating driving experience. :D

Battery most likely.

It was the injector for number 4 but for a while I was confused 'cos I thought number 4 was number 1. :)

Fixed, thanks dudes.

Now I'm confused because I changed the injector and it's still the same; if I take the lead off the coil pack the note is the same but if I take the plug out of the injector the engine slows.

If I unplug the lead 4 from the coil pack the engine note doesn't change. As I place lead 4 back on the coil pack I can see the electricity arcing so I am assuming the spark is ok (I checked the plugs), so this must be injector 4 right???

Hmm it's throwing up a P0130 (O2 sensor) fault.

Thanks dude.

How do you fix that? Or diagnose it?

I'll have to take the intake manifold off to do that yeah? I'm getting an OBD reader tomorrow anyway so will see what fault is flagging.

I opened the packet. I need the one with the more 'square' connector. Will have to pimp this one out on eghey.

f**k dude that doesn't fit; the electrical connector is the wrong shape.

Does anyone know the best way to back off the bolts holding down the coil pack? I can't get any socket to fit over them because of the tiny gap between the bolt head and coil pack body. Stupid design!

Thanks mate. Do you know what coil pack I need for the phase 1?

I drove home yesterday with the engine warning light on, then was driving it about today (after putting fresh fuel in) and the warning light started flashing and it sounded funny...like boxer engine...so I presume a cylinder isn't firing. It's low on power too and will stall when moving off...

I meant to mix it with the concentrate. What do you put into your radiator? Holy water blessed by the Pope and filtered 100 times through a virgins panties?

Tap water is cheap.
