hi peeps had the car from 4000 miles now 40,000 on it , only problem with it has been the struts !!!! , well looked after and I drive very carefully , anyway I was smelling fumes last few days through the car , took it to my mate who services it since ive had it and it was a fuel injector copper washer that had gone , my mate sorted that out after getting the incrusted carbon out of the way and after finishing it he then carbon cleaned the car engine and all was fine . after about 2 days it started jerking and I was hearing a noise took it back and it was the fuel pressure pump staying on after start up . he checked everything and all was ok switches , connectors etc done a forced regeneration and a load of smoke was cleared this helped , only code that came up was I think b1053 inersher switch [ excuse the spelling] , is this connected ???? . I took it today for a 50 mile Italian tune up on the motor way in 4th at 3000-3500 rpm with 4x the redex fuel system cleaner in and it seems to have solved most of it . any ideas peeps ????? . before carbon cleaning I was getting about 48-50 mpg now its getting roughly 58 mph but its only been a few days thanks inadvance
