Also noticed the loom plug to cp is broken. Split in the side.

It still clicks home fully and is solidly in place. Don't think it will affect it...?

Should be OK. Give it a waggle while it's running and see if you can provoke a misfire.

Misfire returned yesterday morning so new 246 Bosch coil PAC fitted today. £66

Got a genuine bosch lambda for £53 iirc while I was there. Will try and fit that tomorrow.... A bit previous without Kev checking over it but time is limited and 0173 is bothering me. It's dragging in too long.

All parts direct in Slough supplied.
Is that with the one we fitted a couple of weeks back?

Yep.   
So it seems that 2nd hand CPs are problematic with LPG cars then  :'(

Which isn't really a massive surprise. We already know LPG will find any slight HT weakness ;) ;)

Fitted new lambda. Bloody fiddly. Sensor came put no problem at all, but had to use an open ended 22 mill spanner, lambda socket was far too long, no room. Left the old sensor cable tied in as it's fixed by the cable and wasn't sure if pulling it out would drag anything else with it. Plus the chance i mat have to re fit it, of the new one was fubar.

They are quire differant to the pre face lift ones.

Routing concealed by the gear selector switch and lever mechanism which was all in the way, and plug barely reachable.

Haven't had a chance to clear codes and fuel trims, but it's calibrated again as is. Until code clearing tomorrow.

After o2 sensors warmed up a bit they both now seem to cycle at the same rate with similar high and low voltages, better than before. Initially the new one was miles off. :-/

Can't be worse than TBE - some shitbox new Mini thought he could be a typical BMW driver, using an inappropriate lane earlier in the rain.  Now I wasn't having that, so I purposely matched his acceleration so he couldn't change into the correct lane (my lane), so he gunned it. Obviously, I had no trouble matching him. Got to around 2nd to 3rd redline gearchange before nailing the brakes for the rapidly approaching roundabout, which immediately reminded me I had a space saver spare wheel on one corner ::)



But I forced him off an exit he obviously hadn't intended to use :y
