I'll give that a shot shortly. Just been out for a drive so I'll give it some time before I fiddle. Dont fancy my own personal pig in blanket just yet

So. Switched out cylinder 2 injector with a spare. Drove fine. Now flashing EML again on idle. This time code P0300 has reared its ugly head again!

My thinking exactly. Heard of people coating theirs but even ceramic coating must get burnt off?

Awesome. Thanks lads. I'm a sucker for shiny tips and judging by the state of this exhaust I'm gonna need to put some elbow grease into it. Does the metal polish help against future or is a sealant needed for that?

On the topic of exhausts. Anyone got tips for really badly carbon(ed?) Exhaust tips. Those black stubborn spots. Polish sometimes works but anything else easier to shift them?

Need some advice. Got a new exhaust on it's way and...well...its needs some TLC. It's very dirty and needs a good polish. I've got some metal polish (autosol I think). Any better suggestions? Was thinking some apc to wipe it down, then get polishing. Any other suggestions?

Just done a probably 40 mile round trip. Feels fine. Pulls well. Bit janky on idle but that's to be expected. Flashing light came on only at junctions or lights. I'll switch them out for the used ones and go from there. Thanks lads. Really appreciate it!

I've been through this debacle before though. Swapping out used injectors seemed to work for a moment and then nothing. I'll give it a go!

Not sometimes. Every time!

Anyway. After that very large segway, I am now going to continue chasing the misfire. One very strange thing is that the car doesnt throw a code or EML when under load. Only when idling does the car misfire. This has scrambled my brain slightly as if it was an injector, surely it would be...

It really is a tempremental little cow. Its been fine up until recently. Never had these issues before in my now nearly 12 month ownership. Strange isnt it. When it rains it pours I assume!

Last time I ever spray wd40 into any crevices.

She lives! Now to try and work out what the hell caused that 🤣

Done that. I'll report back in 10.

I agree. Must be wiring. But what the hell! All I have done is undo that white connector and put it back again. Its unlikely I have dislodged anything.

SO. Its now like a battlefield on the dash. We have the following ON that wont go off (still not starting): STOP, Immobiliser light, SERV, ABS, Battery, Oil and Handbrake (that is on so probably disregard). yay.

Ill go check now. On a side note, could it be crank position sensor? The more I read about this, the more it makes sense. People have mentioned wiggling the cable when the car wont start. Yesterday, going along a very bumpy road the engine just cut out. Started right back up. Might be adding 2...

Unfortunatly I have tried that already. The pins appear to be fine but its hard to tell as its under all the other fuses.

Mine still wont start. Any helps lads? Cranks a few times then cuts off itself. I have to turn the key fully back then fully forward for it even to crank.

Yeah, had it off, gave it a good blast and then WD. The car did this the other day randomly before I put it on the ramps in my garage. Just wouldnt start. Then, out of the blue it decided to do it

Now it wont start looooool. Turns over 5 times maybe then cuts. Had this the other day randomly. Ideas?

Look at the state of this!

Whoops. So where am I finding this magical white connector before I dip my car in a vat of WD40 and cross my fingers :ROFLMAO:

You've both said different things! The inside "white connector" is the one above where the passengers feet would go. The engine bay I cant sort today as I should be working! Maybe later I should swap out cylinder 2 injector with a spare I have?

There is also a mysterious plug that has nothing attached. Could that be related? Also, for clarification, we are talking about the white plug pictured?

well bugger me and call me brenda. I've always wanted to know what that stood for lol

Ah. That I dont have at work. Surely the WD40 would be driving any moisture away?

Blast out with? I just went ahead and sprayed it. Still misfiring, still throwing a code :(

Just trying to find a can of WD40 at work. People hide it as it gets stolen ffs
