Reminds me. That cable tray in my garage is supposed to be on TBE...   ...but then changing the CP/plugs is easier when cable tray is in garage ;D

Do you secure the cables in any other way when you "forget" to replace the tray ?? or just leave them dangling .....  :)

Sorted .. 2 new coil packs, 6 new plugs .. :) Cable tray back in :) and lid held on with 3 cable ties .. :(

Just got back from a 20 mile test run, not a beat missed, including some high speed bits, steep hill starts and a bit of playing with the sports button .. basically tried to put it under heavy load ... all seems OK to me :)

System was reset before the run, just to put the light out and to check for any new misfires really .. but on return the readings are (whole run done on LPG as that needs a better spark and I thought would show up any problems faster) :

SHRTFT1(%)          -7.8
LONGFT1(%)            5.5
SHRTFT2(%)          -7.8
LONGFT2(%)            3.9
SHRTFTB1S1          -7.8
SHRTFTB2S1          -7.8

Now, if I knew what they mean't .........      :)  :)

Any how .. reasonably happy hector until I look at the parts bill ...  £238.18 (inc VAT)    :(   mind you .. without TC it would have been £322.34 (inc VAT) so I guess that's covered a few years ABS membership .... again .. :)

Always worth having spares, I bought a pair of 3.2 coil packs for £20 I think off here. That said I'll only buy ones that were known and working.

They are a bit of a gamble but worth it I think  :)

Thats good going, even more so that its been running on LPG for a good chunk of that. I'm still using the original coil pack from fatherT's 2.2, as we swapped that over as a test. So about 120k old now, his has got a new one has mine started to degrade at 110k.

Not really interested in the snapshot of the Short term trims, only usefull dynamically.  The Longs are drifting a bit Entwood. Not unusual on LPG.

Can you do another code clear (which will reset trims hopefully), then do a 10-15 mile run on petrol*, and report back Long Term trims for both banks?

* Sorry to use just swear words ;D

TBE's 2/4/6 bank was replace at around 60k, initially with a 2nd hand part that misfired worse than the faulty one that came out, then with a brank spankers Bosch one.

What I'll do with spare ones I have, is keep them in the Elite when its in daily grind (after i've tested them of course) - They will be used as a get me home spares.  :)
