    Search on how to do a blink test pal this will tell you what the injector light is complaining about. Could be AFM lambda sensor coolant temp sensor and multiple other things. Best of doing a blink test first.

    it comes on when it chooses, could be while im just driving normally, then smells rich which id rather have than it running lean.
    i bought the car from devon and it was apparent that the fuel gauge wasnt the only problem.

    just trying to rule out what it could be as read a few previous threads and that seemed to be the problem with the majority of them

    If only he had stuck to 300, I reckon it's the last 3bhp that have tipped it over the edge!

    On a serious note that's really bad luck for you Beau. If I were you I think I'd be stripping it and getting my cash back out of it. Bit of a ballache but probably the best option as even if you source another block, get it machined to suit and rebuilt I suspect there will be more failures to come down the line.

    Thanks for your concerns people, I decided that the additional cost of fixing it plus the respray costs it just wasn't worth it

    Brad feels bad so ah well, breaking it is for the best i feel

    IMHO spark advance was tooo agressive and engine was on the detonation limit - this is why this 1.4litre was over 300BHPs, torque comes from spark advance timing

    in the yellow PGT we had changed the engine twice in a half year for the same reason, cylinder wall broken same like this
    this is an common open deck block failure, with highly tuned engine
