DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY MY 405 SHOULD SUDDENLY START PINKING ON LIGHT THROTTLE? EMISSIONS FOR MOT ARE SPOT ON, PLUGS ARE RIGHT COLOUR, WHERE THE HELL IS THE ANTI-KNOCK SENSOR 'COS THE PUG GARAGE DON'T KNOW. DON'T BOTHER SUGGESTING I BACK OFF THE TIMING 'COS THERE AIN'T NO DIZZY. EXPERIENCED SUGGESTIONS PLEASE, TA.

A faulty knock sensor should have triggered the fault light on the dash & a Pug garage SHOULD know where the sensor is,
Its screwed into the block, Down the front, aboult half way down, in the middle, You cant really miss it.
