    Pffft. No commitment! You should buy a Land Rover to repower with the M57...

    OK, time for me to get this off my front lawn!! It has been an interesting project but it doesn't make any sense for me to keep pouring money and time into it, and it needs a lot of both!! Preferred method is to sell it whole with all the parts as a project to some other sucker, so i will try that first, if that doesn't work i will part it out. I have poured thousands into it so far but i know that money is gone so i will price it at $999 in case someone is crazy enough to race it! PROs; Reg on hold. Kind of driveable ? Lots of parts with it CONs Everything else! No WOF Rust is quite bad and likely to get worse LCM is insane, so no indicators etc ABS warning lights are back Can negotiate separately for a set of staggered style 66s that have been dip stripped and tidied up, need painting.

    Time to be a bit more ruthless with some of my unfinished projects and this is the big one, thread here with more detail... After $999 as it is with a boot full of spare parts, REG on hold, no WOF,

    Finally solved a slight lumpy idle on my 130i. Car ran perfect with the maf unplugged but when plugged in the car would hunt a little between 600-700rpm and never settle, a couple times it even bogged down to 500rpm and almost died. I swapped in a spare maf to be sure it wasn't the sensor going bad, and same issue so I figured there was a small vacuum leak somewhere. Felt like I had tried everything beyond pulling the whole intake manifold off and checking everything. Finally today I discovered one of the hoses coming out of the CCV (the lower one) had some oil all over it and it was clear the connector wasn't fully clipped in letting oil out and air in. Clipped it into place and idle is rock solid now. Was one of the last small issues I wanted to fix before selling the car.

    The balance of the components arrived today from RS and I got a board assembled as much as I could. One of the resistors was in the correct bag but the part was of the wrong value So held up until thats resolved, and of course it was the one weird value which came from the UK. Have to drill a missing hole in the board before I can at least test fit it and check the LED brightness etc.

    Update, found it behind the fuel vapor cannister connection to the intake manifold.
