Vauxhall Insignia pinking

Model Year: 2010

Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Insignia 1.8 petrol has serious pinking, comes in at around 1500rpm, tickover is usually ok but the occasional blip and it is a little down on power.
Car has 53000 on the clock, timing is fine and I have changed the coil pack, no fault codes showing up on diagnostics, any help would be appreciated!!

Not really familiar with this car,
so guessing,
ignition is usually controlled via MANIFOLD PRESSURE SENSOR.
these are either fitted directly into the intake manifold or mounted remotely and fed manifold pressure via a small diameter pipe.
so live data ought to show ignition advance/retard when operating the throttle.
I'm not on about fault codes,
LIVE DATA!
Get that tested.
