Just fired the car up after a cambelt change (cambelt, aux. pulleys & crank pulley) and have an engine management light up. Does the normal on at start-up then goes to extinguish very briefly once running, but comes on again.
Checked all connections that I removed, the air filter housing so TPS and MAF, but still there.
Anybody any obvious ideas, before I order a code reader?
What's a good reader....pp2000 or that Citroen one?

Have you knocked the cam position sensor? PP2000 and citroen lexia is the same peice of kit. A guy called Lee at PD developments sells them.

You'd know if it was limp mode - no power and won't rev over 2500rpm. A royal pita basically lol.
A code reader is a damn good investment for any HDi owner, just make sure you buy a good one, PP2000/Lexia are even better. Personally i'd get the code reader on it before trying anything else, could be something really simple.

Borrowed a reader off a colleague....TPS fault. Think I reconnected the battery whilst it was still disconnected.
Anyway, cleared the fault and it appears to be OK now. Happy days!

was going to say its probably a sensor fault. Glad you got it sorted quickly!
