Omega General Help / Re: fault codes p1740 p1120 p1550 p0120

Hi sorry if its been covered but whats it like idleing is it ok
Reason i ask SWMBO Zaffy threw up similar codes and was idleing like a bag of nails after changing cam cover gaskets i was stuck for hours it was throwing a wobbler to then relise id forgotten to reconnect gearbox breather so its either
A) pipe not connected
B) Split in pipe
Might be worth a check

Omega General Help / Re: Knocking n/s/f
« on: 20 February 2017, 11:47:49 »You can determine if it's the wheel bearing by jacking the car and inspecting. It's unlikely to be the problem,as you would have other symptoms. Changing them just for the sake of it is daft.
Which leaves a worn out shock/top mount/bearing/rusty strut tower.
Knackered shock is where I would look next.
If it was WB then you would hear a grumbleing noise would you not

« on: 19 February 2017, 20:32:40 »You can, but you ideally need the entire setup from a non Elite car as the Bose aspect will cause no end of headaches.
So a cdx etc non bose system is there a how too

« on: 19 February 2017, 17:04:04 »Yes, but follow the 2.2 breather guide whilst you're in thereTried to sort out the lumpy idleing Well i cleared the TH out as it was abit dirty
Did you remove the throttle body itself? So you could clean under neath of the throttle housing?
Cam cover gasket change, clean it all up and coil pack itself should be fine. Get a genuine gasket if you can, still worth extra in my view on those.
Yeah got the housing completly out removed from car and 2 tins used nice and shiny again so you are saying doing cam gaskets and cleaning up coil pack should sort it out
Have done this on more than once, today done breather at rear seems to of helped a little but still a bug bare for me i like things perfect then washed SWMBO Zaffy and changed thr taillight bulb so she should be happy

No luck
Tried to clear the breathers
No Luck
To look down the plug well after taking the ignition coil out and violia soaked in oil
So is it this causing my rough idle we shall see because its fine once warm cam cover change it is question is will i need to replace coil pack also or will it be ok after a clean up 💨💨
Also booked mot for monday @ 1645 will this be affected by the rough idle😰
Also gave her a clean to smartner her up
