Might just be something simple yet Paul.

My money on coil pack. I had an M3 in tuther week and it did not throw engine light on, but was missing and took miles/time running to eventually put light on.

I checked comps and all sweet as a nut. Nice cheap easy fix. Hopefully yours is too.

Any news as to what the problem was or is

[rstoughy]

No mate,
Heard nothing back yet so unsure if that is good or bad.

As long as it's back before May though all should be good

Still hope it something not too serious. Can't imagine it being the VANOS mate. VANOS went on mine about 4 years ago, maybe more and it was t sound lumpy or anything like it really. More rattly at the front of the engine that anything else, wee bit drop in power at the top end.

Keep us posted and hopefully you should get her back before may.

I've only got 12 days after getting home to leaving for Europe to get like taxed, new brake pads fitted and bedded in and a decent run so I'm cutting it fine and really hoping she's in good health.
