updated the thread, but i changed the injector as i had the shakes and Cat fault plus the old anti pollution fault.
To find the faulty injector, pull the sensor off one *do both sends 1st* so far right injector, if it shakes worse, its not that one, stop when the car shakes the same with the sensor off and on, then its that injector.
If you dont fancy DIY, its garage time, £80 injector £50 labour maybe more

Sorry where is this injector? So I can open up and look. What about coil pack?

Injectors should be going into the top of the inlet manifold? And the coil pack is on top of the spark plugs on the head.
