Sorry, i cant remember, have you got any other codes that 314?...

No other codes from the engine side. My ABS is playing up, but who's isn't?

I have tested the ECT sensor once the engine was hot after a drive with the digital meter today and I got a reading of 0.18? I presume this sensor is working correctly?

I gave the throttle linkages a good WD40'ing. I coated the whole thing till it was dripping. I loosened the throttle cable and honestly the accelerator pedal feel a whole lot smoother now. I had previously used 3-IN-1 Oil and that didn't last as long. I still don't think the WD40 will last long with the temps under the bonnet, but so far it feels good. The revs still come down slowly, so I will just be happy with that. At least my gear changes are smoother that way.
