A worn down A revision cam should feel smooth but the lobe height would be reduced leading to the discrepency between requested and actual rail pressure.

Logs redone and this time with block 103.

Car was fine this time. No major power loss.

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.
