Well bought new thrust sensor and was fitting it when I noticed the bajlnjo joint was wet. Looks like I did tighten properly when I changed the cam follower. Slightly embarrassed. Just hope that was the issue.

Don't overtighten it!

If it's still leaking after tightening then I suggest you replace both the brass hpfp fitting and bolt.

Seemed ok, car was very responsive though EML came back on. Haven't checked code yet. Will do in a bit.

Seriously considering selling up and getting an ST. Nothing but issues.
