| Yeah did that two codes 0300 and 0302 2nd cylinder and random misfiring i think Could this of happened because i got a little water over summat that i shouldn't, i was cleaning engine bay thought i covered everything but may have missed summat Thanks | |

| is it still in limp mode? if it is it might be worth disconnecting the battery for 30 mins and resetting the codes and go from there | |

| do as above mate, leave the battery diconnected for 30 mins and see what happens. when i first bought mine it was going into limp mode after 60-70 miles then if i disconnected the battery it would be fine for another 60-70 miles eventually found out it was the idle valve fault so a new complete throttle body needed | |

| you wont be the first to change the coil pack, heard about a few of these that break down. have a hunt on ebay mate but get a genuine one not a pattern part. cambelts should be done every 40k i belive | |
