Got to excited, too soon. Three miles into the journey to work last night it suddenly started running rough as a badgers arse again. Read the codes when I got to work and got P0263 again.
Im now convinced its a French conspiracy against me personally.
Too busy to bother with it during this week, so the 17 year old Vauxhall will have to come to the rescue again.

oh dear 
Worth a read
clicky

wondering if any debris got into the rail when apart 

Ordered a Bluetooth diagnostic thingy for Airfix 1. I hope to work out how to use it when it arrives and finally cure its Frenchness.

is it worth doing another leak test , before the bluetooth thing even comes
P0263 should not be a complete missfire/running on 3 cylinders 
has number 1 injector been removed at all ? if so, any blow around the injector (duff seal ,loosing compression round the injector ) a poor seal could throw a P0263

£1.25 here in hoofland, that's for proper fuel, not the stuff the company motor runs on,

[dave the builder]

Filled up with fuel again.

filled mine yesterday
range 360 miles ,wallet 85 quid thinner 

Mine was about £85 today, but the range was then reading 515m

It was nowhere near empty, but getting fuel around these parts is becoming a bit of a pain if you refuse to use the local BP, and their £1.43

mine wasn't empty or the fuel light on  , the boot is definitely NOT empty of tools etc 
 so I don't imagine the fuel level sender and trip computer can take into account the  lowered stance of the rear end (heavy) 
also, I imagine the 360 range figure may take into account previous trips and consumption 
I doubt such info is in the manual ,not that i've ever read it 

I didn't notice the cost per liter ,not looked recently ,maybe i should shop around when filling up 

[Doctor Gollum]

My cheapest is reliably Sainsbugs in Crawley, which whilst on my commute, doesn't open until 6am... and although that is my official finish time, job and knock sometimes sees me two hours early so if the light is on, I fuel up wherever is open...

I'm running a 2.6 auto on LPG, get about 200 -250 mile to 60L of LPG £33 + a £50 petrol once every 3 months.

[Rangie]

Put about £30 a week of diesel in the Range Rover & about £25 a week of Petrol  in the Subaru the RR does no short runs or town work at all & averages about 26mpg the Subaru does all the town & short journeys and averages 24mpg. Fuel is either BP or Sainsbury's.

Wont have time to look at it again before Saturday, and Bluetooth thingy is due to arrive around then, so it depends if it gets here by then, whether I investigate other things, or just plug it in and see what it throws up.
Btw, the code later changed to injector no.1 open circuit, so may well need another injector. We shall see.

That car needs to vanish.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

If I could afford to replace it, it would have already gone.

[Marks DTM Calib]

I guess I get through around £80-100 of fuel a week all in (depends how many overnights I get with magic fuel tanks/cells), 800 ish miles

[Viral_Jim]

Collected the Sh!troen Bingo plus a fresh MOT certificate in exchange for £18.

Given that the CV boot had only come loose and needed a new retaining clip, I may have just paid for an £18 zip tie, but nevermind.

Another year's glorious motoring awaits

Drove my lovely plastic Welsh hatchback for several trouble free miles - which was nice.

What have you done to it to allow this to happen
