I stand corrected Ian. His M3W ownership seems to have been a series of disasters! Just wondering how you can lose a good proportion of 6L of oil without noticing. A compression and oil pressure check as a minimum before parting with any money I guess but 10 years in a damp shed is never going to be a good thing.

I have known people spend a lot of time investigating why their car ran so badly, only for it to be skip fire mode on an early car that hasn't been upgraded.
