    ok I stand corrected. I do wonder how it would behave if the disco sensors did provide pulses, especially if the front & rerar rate per revolution were different ? I guess the ABS/TCS would treat it as spinning or slipping wheels - a bit...

    Essentially it’s getting the preload on the lifters correct. If it’s wrong it impact compression & engine won’t be at its best.

    Wrong number of pulses would make the speedo wrong, plus front & rear wheel mismatch. ABS fault implies the sensor cannot see the reluctor. Definitely. Supplier might have swapped them for P38 version if they were unused, but probably not...

    Check the connector underneath the valve block. The connector body may appear tight, but the socket contacts open up slightly over time due to heat & cold cycles in the engine bay. Intermittent connections will cause "valve stuck" faults when...

    Just to add to this, if the engine is on 122000 do the basics before anything like ECU mods, i.e. Replace main & big end bearings, piston rings, etc. Clean up & relap the valves. Look at a mild tune cam (which should not require ECU mods)...

    They probably make more money doing immobiliser stuff than fuel regulators & pumps !! Fuel pressure codes are just a clue something is wrong. The diagnostic should also show the actual pressure values.
