Engine issue, can anyone help?

I know it's not related but have you got history with the car? If not check the online MOT database as il put money on your low miler being not quite as low as you thought!

Wish I had done that at the time. Didn't know it existed!

Not sure it was my eagle eye, think Steve and poodle were there first with petrol clock comments, but thanks anyway.

That's a shame to find its been clocked though, can imagine it'd be a bit gutting tbh.

Also now Dans explained how the injector can be at fault first thing in the morning that makes sense now, and with the higher milage I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was an injector.

Also, just out of interest, have you ever redlined it at 6k haha?

Yeah looking back you all deserve thanks.

Gutted yup. Not that I'm massively bothered, I'm just not a fan of being lied to. Though with it being the year it was, it's was even the guy I brought it from who did it. Never mind.

Haha. Nope. Not 6k. lol. Nowhere near. :/

140k is nothing for these engines, i shouldn't worry too much.

How's your fuel economy, smoke and engine noise? Crap injectors tend to show up in those areas, the injector tap will disappear at 3k rpm, easy way to see how bad it is lol.

Thanks. That's put me at ease and made me feel a little better.

Erm, only time I managed to check was once and that came out that it is costing me 16p per mile in diesel... Is that helpful? (I work it out like that as I get paid a certain amount of money from work per mile I do, so I like to work out if it's covering it or not. lol)

I've tried testing noise, does disappear on higher revs, where I assume 3k is. Though possibly a little before that.
