The action that you were trying to perform has failed.

Not entirely sure, at one point the crank was hitting the crank sensor and it lokoed proper fucked. It came to the point where it was put back together and still knocking so instead of spending more money working it out I spent £50 on a fresh block that was lying about. After that the next issue I had was the head pulling out one of the head bolts which is quite common on XE's, then after we had the head off I could see that injector 3 wasnt working like it should, had that changed and I think that was the last of my issues.
