Ftfy.

SWMBO had an 03 estate that was a 2.2 it was gutless.

I suppose the humble 2.2 gets a bit of a kicking for having two cylinders missing.

I spotted a X reg facelift today on ASDA's car park ..... in an uncommon green colour. It was in fantastic condition ... no rot in sight. I spoke to the owner who had only owned it for a few weeks & paid the princely sum of £500 for it. Bargain of the year! It was 'only' a 2.2 CD but none the less it looked a damned good buy! 

 This question is for one of my 3.2's.  Lumpy tick over, EML on, so with the help of Dr G, the dodgy ECU was swapped from the other 3.2  and vice versa to confirm that a fault is present PO150, O2 sensor had been changed with a new Bosch sensor before the ECU change around. So currently running the 3.2 on a 2.6 ECU and running great...but I've been trying to get the faulty ECU repaired,and have sent it to a couple of companies, who big themselves up, but can't help. So is there any one here that may have had a positive result recently for an engine ECU repair? Also there are a couple of used ones on ebay, but minus the chip and transponder ring, so basically £150's worth of door stop!

You should be able to see an arc across the electrodes when it is trying to ignite?

Removed it (and the ignition transformer) and there is a nasty crack across on part of the electrode. Connections were also black and brittle. Unlikely to get a good spark, I think.

Black transformer box is bloated and puffy. I'm guessing it is the original from 1999.

That fracture is likely to result in the HT generated by the transformer arcing to ground rather than across the electrodes where it is needed, definitely needs replacing

Yes, that doesn't look too healthy.
