Also now my cruise isn't working, no fault codes replaced brake switch, I've had the air bag off, everything seems ok.

Morning. I have done a search but I can't find any results similar to my problems?? My service and airbag light, come on and go out? If it idles, the light comes on, within 30 seconds. If I drive under 30 mph it comes on? But if I get on a duel carriage way or a fast road 50mph+ it doesn't come...

£50 is better than nothing, I will take that. Best wishes Kirk

I'm Yes I know, but I think allot of the debri from the helicoil was in the engine as it made a few rattles etc, just being safe etc, hopefully this works out for me??? Thanks for input. Hopefully be able to sell old engine? I expect there will be bits on it that people can use??

Well for those who are genuinely interested. Disconnected the injector this morning, no spark plug, fired the wounded old girl up. Drive the 10 mile trip, couple of things happened on route. Engine light flashed orange all the way, put it in cruise control on the way, and when I turned it off...

Yes an expensive lesson. This was not a cam belt change. This was a spark plug change, even more of a c**k up

Hahahah yes I'm an idiot, but it's not the end of the world. But to mock someone's misfortune, well that's just, brilliantly pathetic. I hope karma deals a great blow to you who have mocked and snigger. Never mind. It will all be fixed, if not strip it for spares and people will benefit again...

Ahhhhh hahaha. Clever. Thanks for advice. Best wishes Kirk

Ahh ok. Why is this?

Right next question. I have to get the car to the garage, about a 10 mile drive. I have no spark plug in, I have started it and driven it 29 yards. I don't want to completely bigger the engine, I know it's not in great shape but I don't want to do anymore damage, as I would like to sell it...

The engine was bought from charlestrent vehicle recyclers.

Yes I have everything to be changed

Hi. Well today I've bought a 2005 engine with supposedly 75k on it for £475 delivered with 3 months warranty on it. A friend will fit it for £250, so let's hope this works out for me. Fingers crossed? This is the car it's from!

I started it with no plug in, to try and fire it out I'm a w⚓️ That's why I might be lucky????

Bought some new spark pugs today. Fitted 3 ok, 1 stripped all threads from head?????. Bought hellicoil kit, cocked that up, bits in cylinder head, started with no plug in hopefully got all bits out, put plug in, blowing around plug so hellicoil has not worked put it all back together moved it...
