Search for a thread called 'M50 developments' in the tech section

If you still have problems after reading that im sure there will be plenty of help

J reg will probably be non vanos. The vanos unit consists externally of a hydraulic cylinder right beside the area of the inlet cam sprocket, with a steel pipe going to the oil filter block, and a lump in the chain cover right in front of the sprocket.
Get the entire engine loom complete with ECU and three relays. No wires need to be cut.
