Yeah, and i didn’t help the situation by having the doors open and the ign on for a while at the weekend while I was messing about..

Typically I have just got home, turned the key and it fired up!

Excellent result. One of my American dental colleagues once removed his own wisdom tooth without anaesthetic. He commented it hurt like hell even though it was a bit loose.

I finished my shed roof in the sunshine and gentle breeze. Perfect for drying off the plywood so that the felt adhesive would stick properly. Just to clean up the film of rust on my garden tools now!😉

Had a peep at my buddies BM € E46 rattle at idle. Sounds like a mini death rattle on flap valve. Those engines are just covered in gizmos! Worse than the V6 ! Flap valve repair kit should fix it.

Yep, sounds like a swirl flap issue.
