I think TB's Tech2 was a casualty in the self combusting garage incident  :'(

It is quite common for the cable to one of the knock sensors to get trapped and damaged when the cam cover (or is it the backplate :-\) is refitted.

Some of the sensors share the same design of plug and it is possible to get the wired crossed.

That's ashame. any idea where the nearest techII to me is (im Northampton). if not I can get te Snap-on modus on it when I go to school.

yep I think it got trapped at the same time the cambelt went.

do you think im ok to drive it whilst this light is on? its not flashing and as said the car is running beautifully!

Your first cylinder head replacement is always your slowest, it gets easier and faster :y
Some of us owned K series ::)

That said, I'd still be scared doing a GM V6 HG.  Hence the DTM chappie did my last one ;D

my first was a 405 diesel, and it took me a month on or off in the snow....

the v6 gm now takes me a day and a half if I resist fettling with the exhaust ports  ::)

ok thanks mark. so as said, is it not more probable the codes are the stored ones from the previous engine explosion? Especially considering that battery disconnection doesn't remove them?

mark, if you have TechII could I pop over one evening and borrow your services? obviously ill furnish you with Wonga and beverages :)

Good news Webby, glad its back together.

EML on = fault still present. Sorry, looks like my Tech2 was not robust enough for warzone use  :'(

Once the fault code is fixed, would be interesting to see if the economy improves, esp on longer runs.

Thanks TB.  :y :y :y She runs absolutely beautifully.... which is why i'm surprised cam sensor code would be there especially as it starts and runs so well.

oh well...will get the modus on it at school.

out of interest, just say hypothetically speaking I could repair the blow near the backbox with a bandage and or exhaust paste, would it just be an advisory on the mot?

Pretty sure both will be MOT failures. One of the breakers one here might have a foglight. Although I don't have any in stock. ;)

The MIL lamp will pass as long  as emmision limits are met,as for the fog lamp,its not a testable item but will fail if there are sharp edges so duct tape is your friend ;)
