[QUOTE="bimmer9, post: 460976, member: 4073"] Yeah I'm sure there must be a way, but at that point, without a car for so many weeks and looking at it all knackered collecting dust in the workshop, I just wanted to get it out asap. And I made up for the cost of the wiring harness by selling all my m40 stuff. My m42 also came with an autobox and ECU and I managed to sell that as well. Got to cover some of the cost factor. Idling issue is not a major problem at the moment, just need to spend some time to diagnose it myself as most mechanics just wanna change stuff. As long as it takes me to work everyday I can slowly diagnose it and do what needs to be done. My drive to work and back everyday is a study of when and what triggers the idling problem. Hopefully I solve it by this week. The m42 is a totally different world compared to the m40. Having had the car for about 6 years, I regret not doing it earlier. It is a totally different car now, the first few months was a learning experience on how to drive and handle the new heartl. Now that im used to it im beginning to feel the urge for more. Hopefully some further tweaking in the near future. Anyway good luck and let us know how it goes. Cheers [/QUOTE]
