If you haven't already bought the Milner ones I would advise against using the copies from there. I bought one about 12 months ago and it was wired incorrectly, which I didn't spot when I installed it (brake light was on full when side lights were switched on, as if I had my foot permanently on...

Hi Umar, BF's are meant to be the daddies, expensive but last a long while from what I gather. I guess your choice of tyre type will come down to what you think you will really need. Replaced all of mine a few month back and thought about going for AT's. However, it's highly unlikely I will...

Hi Richard, yes all done. He was due a minor service as well so I've changed the oil, filters etc. Did an ATF change as well for good measure. Suprising the difference a basic ATF change makes to the feel of the gearbox, even though the fluid was only 6 months old. Should probably change the...

Thanks Richard. I've had a little think about how I would have approached this if it happened again. For anyone who comes across either the P0325 or P0330 fault in the future I would suggest trying the knock sensor cable splice first, before you get into the faf of taking off the air intake...

Flip. Do I really have to take it all apart again? :shock: Thought I'd avoided that! Oh well, back out with the spanners I guess. Thanks again for the advice. At least I know what to do this time.

Update. Started him up, fuel pouring all over the floor :cry:. Seals on a couple of the injectors failed when I put them back in. So, £80 later for 12 new tiny O rings and 6 grommets (who knew rubber cost so much) the fuel rails back off, injectors cleaned and fitted with new rubber, back in and...

Hi Richard, pictures were a bit misleading. The black triangle was just leftover goo from the gasket. Once cleaned up it was all solid metal (phew). Left the expansion plugs well alone as you suggested. They seemed solid anyway. Put it all back together today so will stick some fresh coolant in...

Ok, so the deed is done! Thanks for the fuel rail advice Richard, managed to get them off without cracking the banjo joints, although I now have to remember where all the hose connections went :shock: Getting the manifold off was pretty straight forward but wasn't expecting to see what I saw...

Thanks for the heads up on the O2 sensors. Going to replace the gaskets on the rocker covers as well while I'm there. Going to start the process today. I'll let you know how I get on. Deep breath :shifty:

Mmmm, the thought of trying to take the manifold off with rails and injectors in place had crossed my mind but I think I still need to crack the union joint first to free off the fuel intake pipe. No chance with the mirror I'm afraid. Just not enough room. Nothing for it but to just dig deep...

Richard, Thanks very much for the reply. From what I can see on the various forums the first thing to check will be the cable that connects to the two sensors. Apparently mice love the V of the engine and have a tendency to nibble on the cable while they are there :icon-sad:. As the previous...

Hi all, First post here so hopefully someone can help. I have a 2000 Colorado 3.4 V6 that has a P0325 fault code. I believe this refers to a knock sensor circuit fault on sensor 1. The one thing that has me slightly confused is the engine management warning light. I would have thought that if...
