the fuel pump is priming when on pre-ignition and the fuel is getting to the fuel rail.the immobiliser light omes on when on pre-ignition and goes out after 3/4 seconds.
 
Have you checked the relays and fuses in the bay? (Sorry haven't read it all).

Does everything work electrically in the car otherwise?


i checked all the fuses in the bay and in the car.
the relays i just swaped them around eg. swaped the first relay with the third one etc.
windows, wipers, radio, lights all work perfect.
only thing that seamed weird was the indicator stalk.indicate right works perfect but indicate left nothing no clicking or anything.
i think the stalk is broken?

Ever had your airbag go off or anything mate? Long shot but try disconnecting your airbag computer (under the ashtray) and then try connect again. I had to do this before but that's a conversion issue
