Bank 2 is cylinders 2,4,6 (so passenger side in UK).

Fuel trim malfunction says that the ECU has attempted to adjust  the amount of fuel supplied to that bank (in an attempt to keep the lambda reading correct) and the adjustment is outside the normal range which indicates an underlying problem that needs fixing.

thanks for that, sorry to sound thick, but what is it that needs replacing, cleaning, adjusting then?

P0173 just says that it is out of limits and doesn't tell us the cause.
P1890 might give us a clue :-/
Possible causes might be:
- leaking exhaust manifold (lets air in & confuses lambda sensor)
- faulty lambda sensor
- misfire (but ECU should store a misfire code)
- faulty fuel injector
- faulty wiring

essentially the ECU cannot tell you the cause. It needs you (or an experienced auto technician) to solve the problem.

ok, thanks for that!

anyone got an idea on P1890? or knows of anywere that i could find it?
