nice car you have mate

thanks mate ,



ok had another puncture on my spare set of rims , FFS sure someone keeps throwing nails n screw down my lane !! had that fixed now and finally had car washed

car also passed mot with no probs , now done 113k

however on weekend car developed new codes

P1261 - 17669 pump jet valve cylinder 1 ( N240) regulation range exceeded
01314 0 engine control module sporadic 013- check DTC memory *this throws the traction light on permenant **
p0263 - cylinder 1 contribution balance fault
p1264 - 17672 pump jet valve cylinder 2 ( N241) regulation range exceeded
p0266 cylinder 2 contribution balance fault


is this my injectors finally giving in ??, car does not run any different , in fact in ran sharper going up the revs quicker than before ?



i have got spare injectors and tandem pump to fit , was going to order new seals and stretch bolts for them , and was thinking is it worth replacing injector loom the same time

other part of me is thinking maybe there more at fault am i wasting my money ?
