    Infact here's a pic of the head just back on, you can see right into the intake ports and all of that muck they will remove for £120

    Did it have a new engine in 1997 then?

    Mark, I spoke to Geoff earlier in the hope that he was considering it.

    He isnt

    But I think Ill run it in to his before and after and run it on the gas analyser while I have a cuppa with the boys

    You never know, he might gain interest if he sees the results himself. The nearest one to me is Dunmow or Grays. (I have an email wit the details if you want them). Geoff could be the nearest for North Essex/Suffolk.

    Im hoping to get it done 21st July. Some good results so far on other E46s. Main one is that they just seem to be quieter and smoother.
