Justifiably proud but I don't think I would mess with the Vanos solenoid for my DD 2.0 though, as it seems to need it (Running out of puff and flat spots). Throttle reset helped a little bit.

Does anyone have any idea of costs? And garages in or near Medway? Thanks.

An ineffectual vanos should show itself as a lack of low down torque, not running out of puff at high rpm?
