Um, '96 or '97 I think, it's on an R plate. I'm leaning less towards the NATS problem as rlees85's engine light stays on when he removes the chip from his key and mine goes off as it does normally.
It does seem like the engine's turning too easily and I have had problems with the timing chain tensioner before. If the tensioner's broken and the chain's slipped on the sprocket by a couple of teeth then the timing will be out and I suppose the piston could be in the way of the injector when it injects? It's a long shot I know. The local motor spares place has a compression tester they're saving for me - I'll see what that shows up before swapping the ECU.
Cheers for all your help so far - 'tis much appreciated
