Hi and happy new year,

have a look on there for each fault code and see what it is, then have a quick search if you cant find anything ask on here someone might know.
could be an idea (if you had it scanned by a mate/yourself) to delete all codes and rescan cause some of them codes could be from months ago and have no been fixed.

Hi, codes were all cleared before xmas, and have now deleted these fresh codes. Going to take it for a drive now and see what happens!

Took it out for a drive ~20 mins or so, and felt fine. Didnt notice any power loss, and re-scanned it when home and no fault codes stored?! Sure somethings lurking though!

Have a look at the link i sent. it tells you common side effects i.e if it will have an erratic idel or anything. then see if any of them match anything that sometimes happens in your car. then scan again soon and see if any codes come back. the link i sent will tell you the problem i.e if its cause of a sensor thats fooked or anything then try replacing the parts stated and see if it gets rid of the codes.

Cheers mcgee, had that many codes i could nearly build a whole engine from possible parts required! Anyway, codes cleared and it will get scanned daily and see what comes up first i suppose.
