Brutal Honesty
Long time, no progress. UNITL NOW!
Couple weeks ago I had a pretty serious slack chain issue (Shocker). Lumpy idle, car refusing to start, cutting out when it did...and so on.
Was this the end of my K11? I thought so, even started shopping for Beemers...
Time went on and a new chain tensioner temporarily fixed the problem (Cheers to @Frank and Chris!). Cured the start up rattle and quietened the chain down. A month on and the rattle is back, idle is poor and the chain is noisy again.
With an MOT and a show looming I didn't want to risk the car just going pop.
This is my latest big news
CG13 from a V reg automatic. Condition looks okay, sump could be better. Being an auto it's unlikely to have been ragged. Mileage was quotes as "6k" but in all honesty it's more likely 60k. Still pretty low mileage and so long as it's a good runner, i'm more than happy.
Dying to get the cam cover off to get a good indiction of the engine condition.
The fitting will be done around @SirChris schedule
Bit I've bought to go with the engine:
- x2 oil filters
- x2 4L engine oil Castrol Magnatec
- 5L Antifreeze
- Inlet / Exhaust mani gaskets
- Sump gasket
Cost me a pretty penny so far as I've paid top dollar for most except fitting (Love you Chris <3)
