V40
I bought a v40 on a 51 plate. I had it 2 weeks when the engine light came on and I limped home. Code of P1221 was displayed on the obdII reader. After purchasing a second hand throttle body and fitting it myself (yes I made sure it was the exact same part number on the replacement as it was on the old one). I fired it up and it shot up to 2000 rpm. Over the course of the following 2 weeks it did settle down to 645rpm. Also the near side rear wheel bearing needs replacing as do both outer cv joints. However since I bought the car the engine has never seemed to have any oomph at pull off. I put my foot down and it seems to be holding back. Also, the brake pedal vibrates when i put pressure on it anyone know why this may be happening? I paid £900 for the car, have I bought a lemon??? Anyone have any idea as to the reason behind the lack of oomph?
Cheers
Blaise
