Morning guys. Thanks for your swift responses. Il see what extent i can do myself otherwise it looks like a hefty bill at the garage! Il keep you posted to how i get on with the repairs. Have a great weekend.

Hi gang! I'm a newbie on here - nice to meet U all. Can anyone please help? I have an E46 318i estate with the following problems: 1. The car struggles to accelerate away from junctions almost pausing for a few seconds before jumping into life and sometimes struggles to accelerate after a gear change at higher speeds. 2. Steering wheel vibrates at approx 60mph smoothing at about 70mph. 3. There is a metallic scraping noise from the engine that comes and goes. This tends to go once the engine has been running or revved for a while. 4. The exhaust sounds like there is a hole approx at driver seat level on a cold engine. Again this stops once running for a while. 5. Coolant continually running low after a fortnight from refilling. 6. Screen wash jets work on first couple of squirts and cease thereafter. They then work again after a while for only a few squirts. Tried cleaning with a needle to no avail. That's the worst of it... I look forward to receiving your advice on the above. Cheers. bradders.
