    Ok I finally got my car back from mot garage, it only took 2 months, ha.
    I carried out the flashy dash diagnosis and came up with the following faults.
    Engine: 41
    And a non listed code as in 1 long flash followed by 10 short ones. I believe this is a misfire in no.1 cylinder.
    Abs: 12, 13,14,15 and 16.
    AYC: 12,41and 82
    All I need now is to find a garage who can do this work for me, any recommendations welcome.
    What kind of cost am I looking at to get this done?

    Hey Salvo,

    I live in Stoke, I also have a full set of Coil packs, spark plugs and leads that will be coming up spare as I'm awaiting all new in the next few days. You're more than welcome to come and try any or all of them on your problem.
    I'm always working on mine.
    Be nice to meet another owner.

    Lee.

    Also, I've previously had work done at Snow's on Leek Road down near Limekiln lights. Nice guys, good prices, and never seemed reluctant.

    Hi all a massive thank you to Dave mitsiboyblue who carried out a full diagnosis of my car which came up with some of the fault codes that I got through the flashy dash. He cleared the codes for me and after a 50 mile drive back no issues with the car at all. He did say that there is a suspect injector but told me how to trace this if the problem reoccurs. All in all a top bloke thanks again mate

    Took car for a 20 min spin this afternoon engine light came on and sounded a bit lumpy. Parked up back home and let it idle on lpg I was getting a wideband reading of 11.5, a little on the rich side and revs were at 1000rpm. Switched over to petrol and the revs went down to normal, around 650rpm and this time the wideband reading was 17 a bit lean. Can anyone shed any light from these symptoms?
    I am gonna try and check the wiring that Dave suggested and also going to test the injectors hopefully tomorrow after work.

    I think you should switch off and totally isolate the LPG system for the time being as trying to diagnose your intermittent engine running fault with the two systems in operation is making the problem twice as hard to fix.
    I know you've replaced all plugs, HT leads and one coil pack to no avail and your latest post /discription could point towards an excessive fuel delivery while LPG was in use.
    If you have a fault on a petrol injector( ie dribbling /not closing properly ) while on gas this could explain your rich mixture.
    I would remove the petrol injectors and individually check resistances then clean by energizing with a12volt power supply using a trusted fuel injector cleaner both ways.(back flushing) by doing this you can see if you have a leaking nossel when the injector should be closed.( ie on power ) Any dirt or accumilated gum or lacquer deposits can also be seen coming out if you use white kitchen paper towel to catch it.
    Hopefully this will identify or confirm something for you before moving to the next area of diagnosis if nessassery.

    Just be a little sensitive with the wiring looms when disconnecting and moving due to brittleness and insulate with tape any cracking cables you find along the way. Dont forget to check that wiring loom for chafing through on that metal bracket above the thermostat housing over the gearbox while your at it.

    Bit of an update. Not managed to do much work on car but thanks to Lee,EvilDmen, found that the front turbw housing is broke right on the flange where pipe bolt attaches. This has been in the past sealed with some sort of sealant. pics attached. I refered this back to my garage who said that this would not give the kind of problem that I have and is stongly indicating towards an internal problem like a sticking valve. Unfortunately, he is far too busy for the forseeable future to undertake the task, so much so that he's loking at 3 years from now!!!
    I am totally stumped as where to go next and if anyone can suggest somebody who can take this on for me would be great. In the meantime a cheap turbo would be welcomed as that needs sorting as well.
    Thanks guysDSC_0137.jpgDSC_0136.jpg

    It looks like the O ring isn't sealing to me. That will give you boost leak issues if so.

    Thanks Nick, that may be the case but it doesn't explain the misfire and lumpy feel on idle and the air to fuel ratio goes eratic
