Strangely i was approached, it wasnt for sale in any magazines. Someone was aware I had just bought a new house and asked if i was interested in selling. We agreed a price and i had the noney the week after. He said it stood out due to condition and subtle mods all of which he would have done himself.

Dirty sensors could be the problem, but if the garage had wheels off for a time with engine running it may have looged abs/wheel speed fault. I would drive it for a little while to see if they clear.

Re: Code Reader won't link to ECU
If the MAF wasnt working for a little while could this not have damaged the lambda sensors?
I know after chainging my MAF my car still showed faults on lambda. Maybe wrong but if the MAF causes overfuelling then this would/could damage other sensors.
