You get the codes from counting the number of flashes from the EML (engine management light) on the dashboard. If you check out the video in the previous link I posted all will be revealed. :y

Hi Wayne, I may have made a wee confuddlement with merging your two threads into one (they are the same subject matter)

12121212 is the start/finish of the code initiation and, if the engine is running when you read this result, there are no faults stored.

The 3131 is the crankshaft sensor no signal code.  If the engine is not turning then the sensor is not getting a signal, hence throws a fault.  If the engine is running when you read, ergo, no fault as above....   :y

Check the plugs first.

If you remove a plug lead or three and you see oil on the lead then the cam covers are leaking and the oil is potentially shorting out the plug spark.

Clean out the oil in the wells with kitchen roll/syringe/turkey baster and try driving it again.

Rotten eggs smell from the cats is caused by sulpher (Hydrogen Sulphide H2SO4 IRC). It is only usually noticeable during warm up when the cats are not functioning properly.

If you have had a period of misfiring or short journeys you may have built up deposits in the cats. Longer runs with everything working properly should clean them up again.

Cheap / supermarket petrol allegedly contains higher levels of sulpher (make your own mind up on that one ;))
