Plug looked different on electrode sort of receessed Just wondered why could engine have had some work done I have in history a rolling report where car started with 174 brake and ended up with 220 but no idea why. Anyway anybody know the car its red with black wheels f reg ..I love it by t h eway cheerstrace

That was Dominics Wedge...When he told me it was over 200bhp but there was no record of engine work in the paper work?....Must have a different cam at least...Result...

Ahh, Haven't been looking at the forum recently and just spotted this

Firstly, welcome to the world of wedges

I Hope you get as much joy and fun out of the 350i that i did. Was sorry to see it go but getting the 280i back on the road meant it had to

yeah, the rolling road printout was with the car history when I bought it - the previous owner again wasn't sure what had been done to achieve this bhp figure. I didn't really want to take the engine apart to find out and never had it on a rolling road myself to see if that 220 quoted was accurate. however, It felt quick.

Hi dom thanks for the reply . Cars great and running nice replaced cap and rotor you kindly left in the boot and plugs with 6 es and has I said had 7ecs . Should I stick with with these or would you go back to the 7,s from your experience. Anyway be great to meet sometime and I,ll look after her . Cheers trace

Hi Trace.

I must admit, I thought i had the correct plugs in but I see others are using the 6ES so stick with them if that has helped sort that hesitation ..
haha, I forgot I left the rotor arm and dizzy cap in the boot - Thought I would though as I don't have a v8 now !! glad they have come in handy.
Gimme a shout if you need any other info etc..

If you want to PM me for a chat, your're more than welcome to.
Cheers
