Hi
I’m from Dundee and purchased a non-runner 2.5 Si Sport has been sitting for three years. My sons a mechanic so a nice project for us to do together.
First diagnostics was misfire on cylinders 2,4 &6 . Reset and came back on only cylinder 4 , changed coil pack from 4 to 3 and misfire code moved so replaced coil pack.
Still running crap , came up with crank code, a few people’s advice was timing chain so thought it would need changing anyway , still ran crap but noticed inlet camshaft vanos sproket was knackered so strip again and replace.
Runs like a dream , I have a binding front brake caliper to sort , some brake warning lights and a roof still to sort.
Looking to MOT this coming week so see if we have any other faults needing fixed.
Forums great for reading old posts to diagnose faults,
Car looks ok in photo but it needs a good clean , looking to clay bar / machine polish etc.
