    I was working from that earlier but couldn't quite figure out where the earth connection was, however, some good news, I just cleared all fault codes and gave it a quick drive, now I'm only getting "12". I'll take if for a longer drive and see if "5" returns, maybe I disturbed something in a positive way for a change

    Cheers

      And in further news....

      Fault code 5 has returned, however something strange happened just a moment ago...

      I was fiddling with the pump while on the car earlier, I removed the ring bolt from the top, making the speed sensor loose, then pumped the hand primer for a while to try to remove any trapped air, who knows it could be messing with the readings. Here I learnt my hand pump is broken....

      Ok, so then I screwed it back down, reattached the cable and everything else. Then I set off home, the engine light came on as per usual when i set off. Then I put my foot down for a moment and the engine light went out, the turbo light came on, everything sounded sweet and quiet! Then I had stop for horses and it went back to broken

      I can only imagine that i might have disturbed something in the pump or wiring and putting my boot down shifted something in the right way for everything to work....

      Any ideas?

        Same thing happened this morning but for a while longer. I've found that the timer control valve, TCV, is controlled by a number of things that either advance or retard the timing... The only thing I disturbed that would effect the timing is the speed sensor on top. If this is the cause of my faults shouldn't I also have fault code 6; "pump speed sensor"?

        What else changes the timing?

          Right I think it's time to conclude this thread, I found the source of the problem! (mostly)

          It was the first thing I checked, the timing, but under the timing cover it was all spot on, it wasn't until I bought an injection pump that I realised something I hadn't noticed before, the bolt holes were elongated for adjustment and there's a timing mark on the side. D'oh... So anyway I stripped it and straightened it up again and it's better. Except for some bad starting and excessive fuel consumption, but that's for another thread, I think I might have mashed an injector when removing the head...

          Anyway, cheers for the help! so far
