You're using your own laptop then ?

What that show up the exact same faults as a main dealer?

Dealer kit can often find stuff that the more basic diagnostic tools can miss.

No not mine a friend who works for the RAC. I think it is their diag software, I may have to bite the bullet and get the main stealers to run it through theirs! See if that shows anything different, trouble is I don't know anyone who works for Vauxhall so it's going to cost, and I'm tight ?

Was thinking that

Would be worth a trip to main dealer for the diagnostics

Yeah I will spend another few hours on it tomorrow and if it's still not right I will take it to the dealers! I like a challenge but this one has beaten me so far!

Most manufacturers have their own specific codes, many of which can only be read with their own kit.

Hi everyone, thanks for all your input!
Finally got an answer on what was wrong with my vivaro. Had it code read and pressure tested about an hour ago and it's an injector fault on no2.
Relieved to find out what was causing the issues, now just the job of getting the old uns out and new installed and coded!

Thanks again for all your suggestions, much appreciated ?

So today's mission strip my van out and see how bad the injectors are to get out. This is what I found below all the plastic carp when I finally got it off, only 3 bolts to extract and repair for the cover so far!

A bit of a mess but not as bad as I was expecting having seen some on the web!

Amazingly all the injector clamp bolts have come out no problem at all! Just need a mate to come with a removal tool and try to shibby the injectors out now! With a bit of luck!!

How did you learn to do all this ?

I can diversify a bit but that's beyond me
