what is actually up with the car? might be easier to describe symptoms and be pointed in the right direction with an educated guess.

I had to bump start it lol and it obviously triggered the lambda probes hence the efi fault.. just dont want to goo all the way down there just for that

Oh and btw the last 2 times i saw your car you were sideways onto anderson drive and lighting up the rears onto union st from bridge st

If you have bump started it a lot you may have damaged the lambda sensor by washing it with fuel. I would advise you not to drive it as you could easily damage the cat and they are £7oo.

don't quote me but i think is it not just disconnect the ecu/battery for 10-15 mins and it should reset?

eerrrm, it was wet?

the car has hardly been used since but its more of an irritance...

Does the battery thing actually work, i did think of that but surely not, unless i leave it for a week or something

And yes it was wet, both times lol

I am exactly the same but both times i was in the 5 series

We set all our cars at 900/950rpm no car leaves us unless it is set at that because it affects the correction factors and they are the fugures that we use when we tune.It is possible that it has slipped back, if it has bring it in and we will put it back to what it was when it left.
