PS. The leads in the 328 are fixed in clips on the side of the engine and would be exposed to heat rising from the exhaust. We are planning to...
Yes, I will look out for leaks. Re the ht leads, they have been installed correctly. GG
Thanks for the detailed instructions for checking the cam timing. I think it is a little more than my limited mechanical ability will stretch to,...
The problem is, the fault is extremely intermittent. It needs at least two hours driving, often more, and some difficult conditions under which...

My 328 has just been flooded in an underground garage in the south of france. There was around 35cm of water at the front and 30 cm to the rear....
I managed to hand the car, with the problem, to my garage this afternoon. His first thought was that issue was a lack of fuel -- low fuel...
