not so strange ..
it's only a minor technical note amongst a few other technical differences between
bmw as in rover vehicles .. 'n bmw engines in bmw vehicles ..
another difference is the engine-cooling system ..



glad you got that sorted

so fair to say .. that lack of filter ..

probably allowed dirt/grit to get inside the old solenoid ..
'n gumming it up to the point it wouldn't operate ..

a bmw mechanic might not have spotted that ..
as the same engine in bmw's did not use the variable-vane-turbo ..

as has been said by others .. that little filter seems to get ignored by a fair few service garages ..
