Fit the air springs and see how it is at full lift. It will either rock n roll or be solid as a rock if they wont travel enough. Nothing lost easy to swop later ;)

Thanks for all the info. Sounds a load of faffin. WANTED BM 2.5 LOW MILES IF POS ;););) ;););):D

Not yet. As said early on the old block has a crack so was just thinking of the options. Thanks for the heads up anyway

Info from a bm site

The M57 was prodused at the same time and is based on the M51, apparently

Somthing to do with injector timing i think. I believe if i use my pump electrics/top it should recognise it and it can be re calibrated for 3ltr

Thanks. Think your more up on this bmmcc thingy than me. Can it be done though.

New one on me. Ive just done 1k mile to france with 2ton van on back no prob on some bad roads

Lob a ltr of white spirit in every k mile with 20 ltr of tesco. Lots of crap comes out for a bit but shifts the crap out ;)

Something very wrong. Either fitted wrong again or somthing bent or out of line. Check all the suspention components are actually there ie roll bar. Check bag mountins for damage

Well ive done a bit of reading and it seems that the m57 mk 1 will work with the top of my 2.5 pump fitted and bcm re programed to 3.0 ltr. Or have i read it wrongo_O:confused:

Nothing. I got rid a year ago.

Just work methodically and take your time. Give everything a good clean before stripping. Durt contamination is your worst enemy. I used a couple of 3ft sheets of wallpaper face down on the table to work on. Clean and easy to see any bits that ping off. Good luck pal;)

Check out some tube vids before you go wading in with the toolbox;)

I think i need to have a proper look at the options and implications. Think around 3 ltr will be enough as its just for the towing capability on motorway hills, fedup of it trying to change down at 60

Put a bottle of holfords bung un anything in it in Dover. Tipped it straight down the pipe to the thermastat and filled it up. Did the trick and got us home.:)

Cant be doing with all the hassel and people fighting to get on becoz itle go without them:confused:

Might have a look. Thanks

Trust me its the block. Its got a crack about an inch long runing from the center core plug under the exhaust manafold above the engin mounting

Now now:eek: i was only asking;). Its dragging that lump of a twin axle caravan thats the problem and no im not getin a smaller van:D
