First things first mate is doing a Paper Clip Test to see if you have any codes?
Then come back and tell what codes you have found.
Here is the link to follow so you know what to do :y

That`s the one. Count the flashes then post `em up. As said, possibly crank sensor (19)

Those are the crank sensor mate and at a guess I would say you miscalculated the pulse of the flashes with the other codes. 1,4,5 is probably 1, 4+5=9=19 deffo crank sensor


EDIT: 2 different types for the 2.5 Read this http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1174321688 :y
