    With the distant memories of waiting to get my hands on the Trade & Exchange every Thursday at 12, where the average car ad read 1985 Ford Laser, 4 doors, red, $3500, ph. 042348528. I'd say a few misspellings are a small price to pay for modern convienences. The options are legit too btw.

    I don't claim to know heaps about E36s but I know more than most. I've never heard of these options but for the moment lets let that go. Can someone help me understand how the presumably mature owner of this car can't seem to write with correct capitalization and punctuation. Ignoring that, they can't spell 'quite' or 'often'. Full points for spelling 'rare' correctly, all too often spelled 'rear' in TM ads. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/3170733580

    Hmm, and I wish on the bearing front. Change cambelts at 10,000 km intervals. Running RS cams which isn’t valve train friendly. But is still making power to 12k rpm 😀

    Good we can rule them out, just wish I'd get a code or something to point me in the right direction! Just throwing random ideas out there but vanos solenoids starting to maybe fail could cause hesitation with no code? Yea VRSF didn't show they were out of stock on their website, so I ordered then after a bit had to email them to ask what was going on, I ordered 2 things 1 was in stock one out, told me the out of stock would take a month so I said ok, month rolls around and I have to email them again, they then tell me they didn't put aside the item that was in stock before and now it's out of stock and I'll have to wait another month, even though they had my money right from the start. That pissed me off so out of principle I'm ordering from somewhere else even if it's more expensive. Sweet will start getting those things changed, will wait till get misfire codes before doing the spark plugs, coils are delphi with maybe 10,000km on them, I hope carbon is still ok as had a walnut blast maybe 15,000km ago. I will check the air filter though, had forgotten about that. Thanks Jon will add the ignition timing and any knock readings I can see in and see if I can get the car nice and hot then do some pulls somewhere quiet. Will get it on the dyno for a tune once I get my intercooler on so will see if they say when it's on there. Appreciate the help from you guys once again.

    Its not a tough job and it made a noticeable difference to idle and throttle response.
