Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2
If the CCV system is original it will be completely fucked. Don’t buy cheap shit off eBay. Febi kits are OE. Take the inlet manifold off. It takes a bit longer but it’s easier. The Z4 engine is much easier to work on than the E46 as there is tons more room around the back of the engine. With the man...

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
It'll be like those race engines where the blocks were left outside to weather as it reduced stresses. Damned if I can't which engines that was though. BMW 4 cylinder for the F1 turbo engines. It’s a myth. The F1 engines were built from high mileage M10 blocks. Rolls Royce V8 blocks were left for a...

You really do need to fix that large gap in the backplate. If you don’t, it will suck road shit and water in.
All you need to do is cut a slot in the backplate and feed it around the hub. You need to weld a suitable bit of steel in.

Cut and reweld is the best way. The rear wheel bearings never survive and you would have found the rear driveshafts rusted and seized into the rear hub anyway.

No, just Siemens. M54’s only ever used a Siemens engine management system, not Bosch.

M54’s have a vacuum hose to the fuel filter. If that’s split or leaking you will have EML and running problems. The hose runs to the intake bellows.

The same thing happens to E46 saloon rear light plugs - the earth connection isn’t good enough. A second earth wire fixes it.

Fire some WD40 behind the caliper dust seal and exercise the piston. All the way in, out again etc a few times. That frees them up. It may be a brake hose healing up inside. If it bleeds fluid through ok then it’s alright.

#grasscam https://twitter.com/ASPRoadSafety/status/1778008082620072372?t=h_CMItDWfJIQN7UsMzO9JA&s=19 I'd like to see the start of that. DashcamDick has obviously pissed the other driver off somehow. It’s videos like this that make me think an old Land Rover is the ideal vehicle. With such a veh...

Sounds intriguing.
I quite like train travel - if only it was vastly cheaper.
