    Lumpy idle, Error code thrown up...

    Had the ECU warning light pop up, So ran a diagnostic and got the answer
    "231 Long term fuel trim, part load"

    That sounds like air leak or injectors need cleaning. if its done more than 80k the injectors are ready

    Yes but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been cleaned and tested at some stage though.

    They haven't been touched since I've had it.
    Had around 236k when I bought it I think.
    Will run some cleaner through it, And change all the plugs/Leads etc.

    If your going to put some of that stuff through it make sure you change the fuel filter first because it will break up all the sediment and send it upto the injectors and make a rite mess of them

    Excellent, As soon as I find some spares (Cars a daily driver for work) I'll send them up.
    How hard are they to get out?

    Cool, Cheers.
    On a side note, I'm ruling out an air leak, As the car drove back from work A1 last night with no trying to stall or anything
