I hope so, I've already had the cam chain and tensioner done within the last 12 months, but lately having intermittent idle issues/low power and this morning threw an engine light.
To do with timing?

Yup, had it checked and the timing pulley wasn't doing anything and was stuck at something like -27 degrees. Sounded like a BTCC car cycling on idle.
Replaced the chain as a precaution in case it had been stretched by the non-adjusting pulley.

The code I got from Carista was "P0016 CMP Sensor (G40)/Engine Speed Sensor (G28) Bank 1, incorrect correlation"

Did you replace the pulley and tensioner aswell?

And has that solved the issue?

The bonnet paint had gone horrible after a poor respray in the past (before I had the car) and also had a nasty dent above the grill after a football hit it. So got the dent sorted and thankfully my dad for sorted the paint, done a great job, so dead pleased.

Also someone punched the rear quarter panel outside of a pub, which is now sorted and I’ll polish the panel with the DA over Christmas when I’m off work.

Not a huge amount of effort. I found a kit on good old eBay with vibe speakers..
£45 for the front and another £45 for the rears.
Biggest issue is fitting the door cards in the cold!
I would recommend it. Well worth the money!

Ordered a full BCS system. Gave her an oil change after changing cam follower. Used liquimoly oil very impressed so far.

Ordered some rear discs and pads using ECP promo code
