hi i have a clubman 2008 cooper s, right just driven home,and the car started driving like a pig, kept cutting out,i change all the coil packs,still the same,the engine light came on, limp mode,but still coundent drive it,had to be towed home,now ive put my fault code finder on her and this has come up,(pic inclosed ) so i reset the errors codes, and now its running fine !! i think, not been out yet but its ticking over ok,and not stalled yet ! can anyone please help !! or have had the same troubles

 

how many miles ? If about 75K miles you have carbon build up.

 

it does have 79,000 miles but when i got the car last year, i went to have the engine carbon cleaned, and the guy couldn't believe how clean the engine was,he seem to think it was a new engine !!! and 200 bhp with no map !!! unless the carbon can build up somewhere else !!!

 

what guy ? But knock is most likely build up of carbon on your pistons and increasing the compression ratio and causing knock etc.

Unless you got some bad gas ?
