Well its finally happened, aftere 6 weeks of messing around and you guys having to loisten to touring woes I have got the car back and it drives great.....

Head gasket, radiator, thermostat, several sensors, inlet cam and vanos unit several hours of labour and a damn good service! and now eventually it works.

I also asked the garage to give the car a pre MOT and let me know if anythingis ikely to go wrong as its due in 2 months and they said the car is now 100%..... I can thouroughly raccomen BMTEC at manchester straight talking, very helpful and very good value for money.

Though not everything is all rosey. still got to sort out the load cover - one of the end caps is smashed and i do not have the peice, tried today at bm main steeler, end cap is not available seperately new load cover is 255+vat. I had bought a replacement of ebay guy swore it was for an E34 but it doesnt fit so I think I might start cobbling and robbing gubbins etc to get it to fit
