Yanked out the plug in from the OBD port. Cleared the codes using my mates Code reader.
Said that there was a crankshaft position fault.


Car started up perfectly. Went for a 6 miles run, the car drove fine. In fact, seemed far smoother than previously.

Went for another run, car again, drove perfectly.

It might be that the plug in, which was said to be some sort of performance and fuel mod, was at fault!!
Well that could be a cheap fix then.
Just don’t try to sell the thing on here :poke: :rofl: :rofl:

Hope so, it’s due to go in to the garage I bought it from this week so that they could have a look, but I’m too impatient!!
