Can anyone recommend someone who can sort the potential timing issue causing my VANOS error code please? As suggested by j3nks79 earlier in this thread. I am in Wiltshire but could travel.

I would say bring it back to me but it’s a long way and I would need to buy the kit which seems around £150!!

[Wayo11]

Let’s not rule that out. You know the car better than anyone! Maybe I buy the kit and you do the work, keeping the kit for future fettling? Something to consider, particularly if we could do it in a day and I make a round trip? Let’s chat off line when you are back from your hols if that is ok?

Just checked YouTube and definitely not a 1 day job, if I have looked at the correct video!

j3nks79, have you done this job and do you have the tools?
And crucially, could you help Mark?
Better to have someone who has done it before.

I might have the cam locking kit for the N52. I’d have to check the garage.
Unfortunately I’m starting radiotherapy for liver cancer next week and I’m going to be out of action for a while.
But if I find the kit you are welcome to borrow it.
It’s probably a good 5 hours of work. Add a couple more of you haven’t done it before.
I could probably email you the guide to doing the job from autodata as well. So you have a step by step

Thakyou. Not had a good run lately following my ileostomy.
But 5 sessions at Guys hospital starting Tuesday. So I’m in good hands.

Has anyone used LK Performance in Leeds for replacement wheels? If so, are they recommended?

[Wayo11]

So… the budget appears to have been ignored by my fellow Spa visitors. So…. I decided to take the plunge and get the CSL wheels. Can’t wait to fit them over the weekend!
