ok currently got my car plugged into diagnostic thing and got loads of fault codes:
these are:

1.Air idle control valve
2.Veichle rpm sensor/speed sensor
3.Immobiliser signal wrong
4.EGR - 2 codes to do with this but cant remember the exact ones
5.Quad drive sensor

can anyone shed any light on why so many have gone wrong? and wtf is quad drive??
could unichip or ecu be screwed?

need help urgently

Speed sensor thing ignor because it just picks this up as the engine is not running when you did the test,

ok the egr fault code is:
Linear exhaust gas re-circulation position (EGR)

could this be because my egr is wired in but blanked off?
