Hi Trevor. 

Yeah the AA guy suggested that may help solve the issue. I’ve been doing a course the past 4 weekends which required a 70 mile round trip and I had no issues at all then if I stop for couple of mins say for petrol the EML light would come on and cut the power! One of THOSE  ones I’m afraid.

Hi trevor

yeah the guys I’m going down to see tomorrow will hopefully do the flush, it’s a strange one. 

Car runs great then suddenly EML light and basically no power. 

Will post results once flush done.

Well just back from garage and the guys have seen this problem before with this valve control sensor.

its a £300 part and probably a £250 fit due to the time, I have looked up the YouTube video and does look a hassle.

I asked about the flush but guys weren’t convinced it would work.

Yeah I would prefer to go downbeat the flush route first. I’m booking car into a Bmw specialist this time, buddy said they are the guys to sort it out. Have couple of wee niggles so will get everything done in one go.
