I will double check tomorrow if it directly blows or not as I have some additional fuse coming in.
All the wiring looks actually good .. no wear or tear with damaged insulation. I am down to swapp ... |

| 600 miles later and so far so good. Error hasn't come back. Got a few unrelated niggling things working my way through but the car has been solid. |

| Will do. You need to buy some specific tools but setting and locking the timing actually isn't a bad job at all. I didn't open the inner timing cover and the valve cover as it actually didn't look to ... |

All put back together today and she purrs like a kitten. I will do some test drives tomorrow to check additional cycles but so far so good.

| I have opted to tear all the stuff back out and this time go down towards the timing chain. I had a second opinion by a mechanic and with the lack of oil changes it could be that the vvt sprocket is s ... |

| Small update. Changed the oil again this afternoon. At the last one I went from 5w30 to 5w40 and added Paul's torx fix for the oil filterhousing to see if that would make a change with oil pressure.
