Right big update!

As said previous was having massive trouble with putting the power down and the overall efficiency of petrol consumption.

We first of all thought it was the none OEM BMW sensor we had put on so we ordered a new BMW sensor and installed that but something still wasn't right my mech went and tested it and he then believed that there was still something wrong. So we said right let's just give it a massive service.... Best off the cuff idea I we've ever had! The car is relatively new and I haven't checked the engine for service since I bought it! Silly I know but if it runs seemingly fine why check and I bet most of you had done so! So we ordered 7l of oil, new fuel filter, oil filter and 6 spark plugs super duper ones according to the box lol. When I say it was the best thing I've ever done, the fuel filter when we emptied it into a empty coke bottle, it seemed to fill up again! But it was coke! Just filthy fuel! Something was very wrong and no doubt been in the car since 1993 lol. Now dispite the overhaul in service it still has a little flat spot sometimes when accelerating in high rpm which I have narrowed down to now either mass air flow sensor, the adaption value need resetting so the new manifold and service all run in unison or worst can scenario the vanos is shagged! The petrol consumption now is noticeably better! Which I am chuffed about! And I got some vaders a bit shagged but nothing dye won't fix!
