aint read all the posts but HOW THE FUCK WOULD VALVE CLEARENCES BE NOTICED FOR A MISSFIRE ON A STRAIGHT 6 ENGINE ???
the most smoothest engine and as such hard to tell
jay if the lamda sensor was causing a noticable miss fire then the car wouldbe fuckedby now too
hes talking shite and hes took itto a garage that is also shite,,, fuel consuption on a bmw you test the lambda first, then the maf sensor if bad on motorways but ok round town
shite round town means lambda is fucked as its not switching to closed loop
valve clearences,,,,,, well thats a joke on a straight 6 as they would have to be proper out to notice it
ask him for the old parts as i can test em at work or get the guys who make out stuff to test em for you
i sugest you give him the name of a actual garage rather than a place whos got spanners and a till
supirsed they never changed the head gasket for the missfire first considering the way they are going about it
melted wiring also,,,,, WTF, id like to know where and why,,,, wonder if hes fitte a stereo or angel eyes to it
infact jay,,, just go round and give the geek a slap
