So Martin where is this track? Can I bring big bird for a run onit? Ha

Aw man if I saw this post in time yeah you could have run.

Had a good and bad day with the car though

Was getting used to driving it then played with tyre pressures and got that sorted then dad had a drive and I jumped in straight after and was having a real go at it when I noticed smoke from under the bonnet then lots of lames from oil fire

Stupid bonnet clips meant we took about 30 seconds not 5 to get bonnet undone and put fire out

Burnt some wiring and coil lead and overflow bottle as well as the bonnet itself.

All because of the stupid plastic line for the oil pressure gauge which got hot and melted spraying oil everywhere

Still can all be fixed, at least it happened on a Test day and not the first event.

    • Sounds dodgy already, better off on eBay as you get some level of protection

    • I left that life behind me. After so many rod bearings... (Had quite a few M3s)
    • Both Coils and Loom are OEM from the dealer.  I have not tried the Chinesium AFM. I Might today. Will get a timing gun to check this, to be honest I been meaning to check the timing because everything timing related is as the car came from Japan, being set by whatever shop did the timing 1.5k miles ago. I believe it is running rich all the time actually, as the pops and bangs feels like unburnt mixture in the exhaust. But I will check the pump and regulator. PS also new OEM fuel filter is in during the maintenance before these slew of misfires started. Cas been placed on the same position as it was before removed, same markings that were left by the shop that did the timing before I bought and imported the car. Thank you all for the responses so far by the way. Seems like I need to pay more attention to CAS condition and timing. Will check on that and report back here.
