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!

What's the worst that could happen

[Marks DTM Calib]

Hall sensor is the cam sensor

[albitz]

Not sure if Serek still has his tech 2 ? Otherwise its fuse18dtm etc.

[Gaffers]

Your first cylinder head replacement is always your slowest, it gets easier and faster

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

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

[TheBoy]

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.

[Webby the Bear]

Thanks TB.  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?

 

[TheBoy]

My MOTer put a bandage on TBE to get it through the MOT

[Webby the Bear]

awesome. ill give it a go as I really wanna get it through mot. would the MIL light be a failure? oh and the front drivers fog light.......broke....yeah, let's say broke 

so the housings gone.... just the bulb sticking out. do I need a new housing to pass the mot? I presume so but though id ask

[albitz]

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.

[Webby the Bear]

ok cheers albs. cant sort out the mil light til the end of the week so bearing that in mind may as well take my time then and sort the exhaust properly 

[henryd]

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

[Webby the Bear]

awesome!!!! thanks henry. just want to drive it so I can do some real testing
