May seem strange, but also try filling up with Esso unleaded!

It worked, and still does, on my engine 8-) 8-) 8-)

I agree Lizzie, quietened the engine and the knock sensors preferred it  :y

I had the emissions or EML light on and the code indicated a knock sensor failure. After looking into the fault I visited a friend at Vauxcare and he asked me if I put Tesco fuel in and to bang a tank of Esso in.

I did and the light went out. The engine was noticeably less rattly too  :y :y
