So a couple of months into ownership and not really driven it yet

Spent the first few weeks chasing an air suspension fault that finnaly got fixed

Then the valve stem seals were showing signs of leaking so spent the last week on that only for a power cut today to kill my compressor so now a inlt valve has dropped into the cylinder - with only 2 seals left to do

Any got a gun or some matches ?

Current options are take the inlet manfiold off and see if I can get the valve back through, remove the head in place although I cant time it up properally or remove the engine, gearbox and subframe as one unit and deal with it all on the floor 

wow thats just bad luck with the valve ,  you got a whole lot more work ahead of you now  stick with it because it will be worth it in the end , let us know how your getting on with it , keep calm and carry on  lol , ..Colin ..

Thats the plan Colin - both the seals and the air suspension are faults that would have popped up some time during ownership its just annoying they are both before ive had time to enjoy the car !
