Reason: update
Could be a few things, even the cts, ring 01953 456000 and ask for richard, he does nothing but these cars all day everyday, so knows them inside out, he talks a lot(think he's lonely, or gay ha ha!!) but will help out.

Check inlet manifold gasket on cylinders 1 and 4, well known to let coolant into the pots. Have a look at the colour of the plugs compared with each other.
well, i bought it. very happy for what i paid. as for the symptoms, from cold it drives fine and when up to temp it still drives fine however a couple of times on the way home when accelerating it hesitated, sort of like a miss-fire. any ideas?
ok so i have been to my local motor factors and so far i have changed both the coil packs.not driven it yet but the eml is still on,does it need to be reset or is it the same as my old 620ti with a self learning ecu which adapts after a few miles. i have also ordered a inlet manifold gasket which i will change aswell to be in the safe side
