I was musing this situation... as you do.
One of the maintenance procedures which has always seemed a bit crude to me on the 360 is the procedure to lock the cam wheels when changing the timing belts.
On other cars, there are fancy bespoke tools etc. but with the 360, its a pair of locking pliers, applied to the cam wheels themselves, locking them together.
But how tight should the locking pliers be? and would an over zealous or inexperienced tech, who has the pliers wound up too tight cause too much force on the cam wheel, causing variator to crack or weaken - finally resulting in a failure?
I must be getting some of the good luck you're not getting (that's torn it). My Z3 had an advisory on the MOT, completed just before I bought it. It was that the airbag light did not light up on startup. I asked the seller to fix it. Low and behold when it turned up the airbag light was on. I've managed to extinguish it after five months by using the reset tool I bought. I thought it would be more involved.
