I got a bluetooth ODB2 scanner \o/ Have it working with Torque (any nice dials/displays that are worth having?).
It has finally told me what that random CEL was that kept appearing any time I drove more than 20km at a time - P2096. That's my evening gone investigating that one!
That code is "System too lean right bank". It could be a vacuum leak, bad coils or bad rear o2 sensor (the one in the catalytic converter).
When I got it, I replaced the rear o2 sensor, cancelled the error and the car was back to normal
Check the maintenance nipples covers. If they're in a bad state or loose, they will let air leak in.
I think you know what to do when it comes to checking the coils!
BTW, you say you have it working with torque? Must be awkward to only have it working while driving at 6500 RPM? :P0 -

Maybe when I get it sorted I might get another 0.5 MPG out of it!0 -

bad tyres, not mismatched ones. theyre conti sports are bridgestone
my friend had the same set on his e90 and the 5000k go really well with the halogen bulbs. i actually had all led white bulbs in both rings on the OS headlight but after working for 5mins they decided to stop.i thought i would get away with it seeing as how the mAh usage of the leds was only a little bit below canbus' requirement but nope! ill have to solder on resistors. i put the halogens back in anyway and all was well. connected up the fog lights before attaching bumper again. said id try all the front lights. fog lights started flickering and then poof!!
went into car, the bid screen was flashing, all sorts of bulb warnings, boot unlocking by itself, car not starting, electric windows opening about an inch and stopping, a big F on the screen. looked up online and seemed that the ecu was shagged. (obviously ****ting myself at this stage) disconnected the battery for 10mins....reconnected it and same. that has always solved any problems ive had electrically before! really worried now, never seen anything like this. last throw of the dice, ill try the battery from my brothers astra that hasnt been started in 3months. connected it up....bingo!! everything working perfect! kicked my battery and threw it on charge.0 -

Mismatched is just as bad as bad ones!0 -

Doesn't look like either of those on the front left.
Enough nerdiness perhaps..:o0 -

I didn't misquote you at all, I just took your "attention to detail" about tyres and applied it to this situation. If you ask me, it works quite well
