Hi Guys Newbie here. Only had my lovely beauty 2 weeks and the malfunction light has come on. Everything was running well until then. Changed the battery on the Wednesday, service on the Friday and the light lit up on last Sunday. Any ideas? Thanks
Sorry, complete girlie on this stuff! . Have borrowed a code reader and it is coming up P0314 - single cylinder misfire - clyinder not specified.
P0314 can be a fairly serious error code, so I'd start with the following: 1) Clean the injectors -- Cheapest Fill her up with decent petrol, and dump in a bottle of Redex injector cleaner. 2) Change the spark plugs -- Medium Go for the proper Iridium spark plugs, don't cheap out on the copper ones. 3) Change the HT leads -- Pricey (possibly) A few people on here have gotten HT leads from AliExpress and said they work ok. I cannot attest to their quality as my leads are fine. If dumping the bottle of Redex doesn't make the check engine light go away, bring it to a mechanic.
Were the spark plugs changed in the service? Could it be as simple as the ht lead not being pushed on properly, or are they cheap spark plugs?
As far as I know the spark plugs weren't changed. Prior to that the last service was in 2014. Think she has been sat around for a good few months. Shall have a fiddle with the spark plugs along with the injector cleaner. Shall work out what the ht lead is and also look at that. Hark at me dropping technical terms into my sentences! Think I shall be on a steep learning curve with my beauty. Still, never too old to learn!
If it's the 660cc, get it a full service. The 660cc needs an oil change every 6 months / 3000 miles...Yes, you read that right. An oil change is cheaper than a new turbo! If you don't know when the fluids were last changed, change them all - oil, gearbox, radiator, brake - along with the oil filter and sparks
Hi Guys Thanks for all your help. Started with the Redex and that has done the trick.. Have made a note of mileage and will make sure the oil is changed when needed. It has been such a help being able to get support from this forum.. Drove over to Buxton today over the Cat and Fiddle and she went like a dream.
