   They normally have a P in front of the fault codes.
   
   Sure it was that code?

   yeah, thats the code 5120. i was there when he done it. the guy is a local autospark who is a friend of mine. Am baffled, cant seem to find the code on-line. Ive cleaned all the sensors some where a bit dirty but not bad.
   
   thanks for take'n the time to reply.
   
   ps he did try to reset the code but it just came back again.

   Will he not be able to tell you which sensor the code means?

    i dont mind paying money to get something fixed rite. its this old story of replacing parts until the problem goes away that gets me. i thought the whole idea of having the ability to plug it in was to make fault finding easy lol altho having said that id quite happily rip it out ta fuck. lol

    thanks for looking, am thinking of taking it elsewhere to put it on a diff machine to see what that says. was on the phone to citroen and pug and they are saying the same as yourself. has my head turned!!
