Two bolts were snapped one had come out completely, I have taken it back and they are sorting it out. Motor is still running. Will wait to test it once they have finished sorting out the hpfp bolts.
I bet they forgot the tighten the bolts up  :slap:

Have they replaced the cam follower?.

So they opened up checked the cam follower, replaced it and tightened it up and still having the same issue, no power though the car idles very smooth it wont rev over 3000rpm. Mach says not enough fuel pressure and suspects the cam follower possibly not sitting right, does this sound right? its still pulling fuel pressure errors.
Take it easy.. and if its easy.. Take it home!! :driver:

The cam follower will only sit one way so that's not the issue.

Have a read of this.

You haven't given any other codes so this is the best I can do.

So apparently it was the fuel pressure sensor on the rail, they just unplugged and plugged it back and car was fine again :jumpmove: :jumping:

These cars are stupidly good as the fault clears once disconnected and reconnected  :stupid:  :signLOL:

Glad you've sorted it  :grin:

Yeah  :grin: hopefully can now enjoy it after 3months of issues. I have one more issue with the rear wiper going on every time I put the car in Reverse. I think naturally the rear wiper should only go on when I put the car in reverse if the front wipers have been going not every time I put into reverse  :thinking:
