Hi everyone, I'm just wondering how much power a 1989 740GL Wagon has, I haven't been able to find it, and how does it compare to a turbo 740? Also what is its top speed? I'm not a rev head so I haven't managed to work it out myself

Thank you, I hadn't thought of that, this puts me in a whole new direction! sorry about the late reply, yes the car started being good but knock on wood it stays that way. I'll check out your ideas, thanks. Is it possible that an over machining of the head could cause this problem?

Thanks for that guys, I will try your suggestions and hope they work, although someone suggested to me that the cause could be a fault ignition barrel. Is that a likely cause?

Sorry, yes that is what I mean and it is an automatic

I will avoid using 'turn over' on here again if i can help it

Thanks
