Mine were heilcoiled soon after I bought the car (probably 10 years ago now!) - no issues since. Due to overzelous use of power tools to tighten them...
My Vanos did my vanos. Nice guy, cam to my home in Bucks and did it there. He tends to line up a few cars over a couple of days and travels down.'99 Imola S50 | Simota | Front strut | Braided clutch cable | Bilstein B8 and H&R springs
