Right... ive been out and had a good look round all the pipes I can reach and there all fine buttt my dip stick is snapped!! And it's snapped off right at the bottom. Will this be the cause? Can't believe it's snapped!! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

It doesn't have a decat... just a normal cat was replaced at the same time though was an advisory on MOT as badly corroded. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Also on the readiness part of the device there's a few things that show as fail. Can only remember these 2 at top of my head. Is it relevant? Catalyst 02 sensor Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Thought it would show straight away lol right impatient me. Will try again tomorrow evening because mechanics going to look at it monday evening and ideally I wanted to turn up with some codes and the cause.Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

It now says there aren't any fault codes... Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Just going to clear them and start car, go for a run and do another test.Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Yes mateSent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Right just used me dads scanner and this is the result... Engine start blocked by immobiliser: p1570 Random multiple misfire detect: p0300 Cylinder 2 misfire detect: p0302 Mass air flow sensor (g70) : p0102 signal too low Fuel level too low: p1250 I think MAF has shown because I disconnected it and fuel is currently low.

I dont have any lights on the dash it's just the rough idling. I've tried checking vac pipes best I could knowing where they go to, so many pipes and very little knowledge. (This is my first turbo car) i will have a second look though. Thanks Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

If a simple scanner will do the trick then I may be in luck, wasn't sure if it had to be a technical device over £100 mark.I know my dad has something red that he uses on his 95 aero that reads basic info I will ask him. Otherwise I will get my mechanic to source someone. Thanks guys. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I've just tried unplugging MAF once ive got to work and it still misfire on idle so it rules that one out? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

What do you mean? I already said that I don't have a scanner or no of anyone that does. I know it makes life alot easier but I just don't have that at hand.Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I will try the MAF. Mechanic said the plugs was the same as what was already in but I have no idea if he still has old ones. He's having a look at it on Monday after work but was a little baffled to what it could be, said he'd not changed anything was just a straight forward service. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Different car I know but my dad's 95 aero did this and it was a vaccum leak. Found a split pipe in the works. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I have this list of known causes of rough idling... Rough Running At Idle - MAF, Ignition Coil, Spark Plug, VAC Leak, O2 Sensor, TB, CT. I dont have access to a fault scanner gizmo so can anyone give me an idea on a route to take with each 1 to eliminate those being the cause? I.E. will unplugging the MAF be a way of diagnosis? Much appreciated. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Hi thanks for your reply. I pressed on the coil packs and checked wires n they seemed ok, don't have the right tool to check plug tightness. Wouldn't it misfire all the time if this was the case?Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Also the car isn't mapped as far as I'm aware just has a cat back fitted which was done in my ownership... Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Hi me again with another problem lol. I just had car serviced by a home mechanic (family friend). He's used recommended oil , platinum plugs, air filter, oil filter, cabin filter, fuel filter and refreshed the coolant and washer fluid. After an initial road test all seemed fine at first but now when the cars idling it appears to be misfiring (little pops from exhaust and engine judders). When driving the car or even giving it some it's fine doesn't feel under powered and no sign of a misfire. I've looked at the vac pipes and for loose wires but all seems fine. When looking at the Rev counter the needle fluctuates from 700-750ish? And you can feel the vibration from the engine. Any ideas? Thanks Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

My cars the same although its silver and had all four corners resprayed because of corrosion. The shade is slightly deeper and was told its the age of original paint and thats weathered. Was advised a good machine polish would bring it up better, just having time and equipment. Drives me mad seeing it in different shades but my partner says ive got OCD n you cant tell lol.

Thanks I was hoping its something like this, get really paranoid with the gearbox and clutch when it starts acting strange.Will invest in some lube and have a go at it myself. Thanks again. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Hi recently I have noticed that after the cars got upto temp and driven a few miles the gear selector doesnt appear to center itself. I have had a look under the gaitor at the spring and cant see anything obvious, althought the grease does look a little dry. Would this be the issue? Thanks. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Mine ticks too always wondered how to stop it. Varies in speed but only notice it when cars been for a run n sat idling afterwards. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

My friend said in theory it shouldnt work because of it being the wrong signal but because headunits have a small amp it acts as a pre amp giving a strong enough signal for my amp. It also because the way its wired a mono signal is converted to stereo with both coloured and earth wired in the photo. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Red and white cable goes to 1 speaker wire and the copper wire goes to the other then just seal it up. It works because ive seen and heard his. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Does anyone know the difference between the stereo systems for the octy? Mine has sound system on the speaker covers and seen that it means its uprated Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
