Do you not suspect the ECM might be wet, what have you done in terms of checks?

Have a look at plenum drains, and if you need the ECM testing, I can do that for you

As soon as the sun comes out more frequently...and there is a few more of the disposable quid in ones pocket....the outlook becomes better and the petrol head returns!

I’ve dropped onto this thread late but for me it’s simple. First I appreciate it’s a personal thing but sometimes you have to be ruthless with yourself.
You say that you want to put time and money into your photography. Selling cars will raise cash for you to do this. It will save money and you will have less grief from a large fleet.
Live with just 2 cars. 620Ti for the summer and a reliable 75 for the winter. 2 best cars with minimal grief and a lot of pleasure.
Yes I’m saying sell the coupe but with it needing so much work, why keep that headache and be honest will it ever get finished? I’m not suggesting you are a slacker but your priorities lie elsewhere.
I could bore you with how I manage my 4 cars but I have different circumstances to you so it’s not really relevant.
The ZT-T has gone so that’s a good start. Nice car but not your thing so get rid. As you say it will be loved elsewhere.
Above all be ruthless. It’s sometimes the only way to dig yourself out of the the hole you are in. Good luck and sell another!

Everybody has problems Rav, you're better speaking about it rather than sitting on your own with a black cloud over your head. Its a shame the Hawes meets fizzled out, they were a welcome distraction.
