    Calling all oil-pressure experts!

    It did cause some pause for thought thats for sure....it was overlooked because I had changed it out...admittedly (and this is what the issues was in the end) I changed it for a 'similar sized' O Ring - and not a genuine one....I assumed it would have worked so discounted the O ring as the...

    L322 Timing tensioner. How to install question v8 m62 BMW engine

    Groovy - like I said - it can be done extended and is the method I used that way I *knew* it was extended and correctly positioned....but yes it took an age and having to put considerable pressure on it while getting the threads started was a faff.... Fingers crossed and keep us updated!

    L322 Timing tensioner. How to install question v8 m62 BMW engine

    I would extend it prior to fitment tis what I did - note: it needs a good push and hold while tightening it in place and it is a bit of a fiddle, but if you extend it before fitting - you know it is extended!

The timing kit is made by Asta and was nigh on £400 when I bought it and is big , bulky...

    L322 L322 Curious Air Suspension Fault

    CL is Cross Link Valve I think - the pre 2004(ish) models has a crosslink valve behind the wheel arch liner (can't remember if it was pax or drivers to be honest). This device was used to a) equalise pressures across the axle set and b) open in extreme offroading to make the independant...

    L322 L322 Curious Air Suspension Fault

    Not sure I did a How To on this Goldie....but in anycase - slow lowering can be caused by a blocked exhaust 'silencer' should be under the cover near the compressor in the boot. These have been known to cause slow lowering. Generally when the error 'too much energy...' etc comes up, this...

    Unknown electric fault after battery change

    What is the fuel rail pressure and supply pump pressure?
