Against my better judgement but on your advice, I have ordered a new flex,just hope it's £15 I shouldn't have spent :-/ we shall see. It's 51 by 100mm as per another post on this matter
Suggest you stick with your judgement then

New flexi fitted today so the pipe I had on a return if not used policy can go back, borrowed a code reader OBD2 as my mate couldn't make it on Thursday, codes were 0340 and 0700, later was gearbox, Symes discovered a kinked pipe underneath so unkinked it and that hasn't set off the lights nor safe mode so far, the 0340 being a cam sensor issue now rings bells as I had similar symptoms on my gsxr600 so new sensor being ordered on Monday. Fingers crossed :-s

That's right Symes, though I drive it to Barton and it threw a new bunch of codes, reason for bringing it here, P0840, P0170, P0700 and P0340. Think the last 2 were there before, typing this on my phone so can't see, the first two are new but I read on here somewhere that the cam sensor can throw other codes up so I'm sticking to the cam sensor for now!

Good stuff, and I'm right in thinking from another post here that the cam sensor can throw up random codes? I guess as its basically putting the car into safe/limp home mode? the car was fine before the head being done, the replacement head went on but we never changed the cam sensor, silly of me really :S

So, I fitted the Cam sensor, its just as bad, I'm done with it now so unless the person I offered first refusal wants it, its going on Ebay. I won't be putting details here as the rules say so sorry that nobody here will benefit, Symes will probably say that its a clean example so with this fault, any ideas on what it might fetch? Leather heated interior is unmarked :) just need enough the afford a cheap runaround really :P
