The block must be toast after that Min new camshaft bearings , valves on both sides and possible bent rods or damaged small ends and big ends. The aircon must come off as the engine needs the space at the front to get out. Thats only around £50 to regas and if you do it at quick fit and has...

i had this problem and turned out to be the throttle position sensor, but i have the thor engine not the jems which i presume you have The replacement was also faulty so dont think if youve replaced something its no longer that

In general id give injectors no more than 60k miles before replacing them. Did this recently on the p38 and runs a lot better

Before we start id like to say ive had several cars on LPG and over the last 12 years covered more than 500k on the cheap stuff, so its not a for or against question its a question on what is best and the worst. Most would vote for prins , I think BRC would be best (BRC uk has gone t*ts up...

I have an x5 as well as a l322. It's a known problem with burst pipes and just simple bleeding won't cur the mustard. You need a specialist who will open and shut valves inside the abs unit whilst bleeding. You may wNt to take to a bmw specialist who may be able to he

my passenger wing mirror is a little limp in the setting dept. It's a parking one but there's no resistance to pull out or park it. It feels like a spring has dislodged to keep it where it should be Can it be fixed or dismantled or do I have to bite the bullet and buy a new one

Pull the abs sensor out. Give it a clean and tap it all the way home Pain in bo tocks those sensors

It's not that much to have it fitted but I bought a brand new parrot kit at a boot for £5 and I don't mind doing myself as it's not a major job

Hope they did as i can see a lot of new nuts !

Done that and nothing that says for DSP system Thoose that do Ive rang and they've told me sorry not for DSP so im looking for someone in the know

Ive been looking around for info on this but comes to a halt when it comes to the DSP in a 2002 vogue with the sub woofers I would like to put a parrot bluetooth unit in the car but obviously need some sort of loom to put it in I only need the basic system in. The sound system is great and...

I think it was a matter of wealthy owner and a take advantage garage The parts bill was massive 6 months ago they charged them £650 for a front strut with bag That was just the part. Labour extra !

Great write up well done. Thinking of doing this job before i have lpg on the beast. Mine only done 78k miles buts its an 03 so age will dictate the hardening of the guides. Can this be done with the inlet still on. I ask this as mine had the head gaskets and top gaskets done only last...

Does it vibrate as in neutral whilst stationary when revved. That would cut diagnostics down

Paid less than 6 more than 5. It was a local dealer who put a new alternator on it which turned out to be a bad battery connection and a new suspension pump. Very very lucky as the car had the same owner since 2004 and have all the bills from lookers. No boy racers or tight gits since...

just took delivery of my first l332 on a 52 plate 4.4. What a motor. Been looking for a while and found one that had a very privlaged life in Kensington and a country pad and only 78k on the clock. Massive bills for everything that the l332 fails on so only little jobs to do. Example...

the sumps been leaking like a good un so decided to change the rubber gasket on the alloy sump I didn't put any sealant on the gasket and what a surprise it's leaking out the front. What type of sealant is good for this job. Thanks

Just doing the front swivel ball joints. Of course everything has to come off to get to these little so and so ball joints. Is it just me or are the abs sensors impossible to take out in one piece. it has to come out to take the cv/half shaft out. Anyway i found a great way to get...

Here's what I found on mine There are 3 pipes running down the passenger side (UK). One for the passenger rear bag and 2 pipes running over the chassis to the drivers side. One goes to the drivers rear bag the other to the resevoir The 2 pipes had split so a bit of a job routing and replacing...

Just looked at Rave and theres nothing showing the pipe layout. My back is just about up to the task of taking off the rear boxes. So will take a good look at it tomorrow. Its already been repaired once so with a bit of luck its a quick fix
