well......for the driving issues, i cleared the codes.... (is this when youve done autoscan it asks you to save/clear etc and you select clear all dtc's? and then checks all again??)
then drove down the road for about 2/3 miles just taking it easy.
in any gear, when just slowly accelerating its sorta jerky , giving 3/4 jerks then smoothing out normally, then change gear same thing, etc etc.
on cold morning it was quite loud/rattly/white smoke to start, but after i took it down road, i left for an hour started first click, no smoke.
i checked codes again still coming up timing fault.
im dropping it to a guy tomorro and hes gonna check the timing to see if its right,(i hope he can sort it out) previous owner had said it had just been done, not sure on that one, so just wanna get checked out. he says if h has to do timing he'll replace water pump at same time.
im hoping its a simple timing issue as he said a car came in with similar fault code and ended up costing 1700 to fix as owner had used dodgy diesel and everything was full of sand.
ideally, id like it to be something much cheaper, like a dodgy sensor etc but i suppose if it is this, then i can have peace of mind timing has been done too.
