Just thought I would put a few pics of my new car. Hope you dont mind.
Even though its not a MG or Rover some very familiar jobs are in the process of being done lol!
In tank pump was not working as I found out going to work on less than 1/4 of a tank. Broke down but 1 gallon later up and running. Bought a used one for £38 delivered all good now. (I hope

)
Changed air filter my God you think its hard on the MG/R75 this is ten times harder! You have to remove half of the bulkhead and side stabilizing bar etc.
Fuel filter is being done tomorrow am its bolted underneath the passenger seat on the underside.
Cleaned out the EGR valve and inlet manifold. (Never seen one as bad

)
Replaced a duff MAF and its a different car now.
Got a bad engine mount as the vibrations are doing my swede in so having it investigated when they do my fuel filter tomorrow.
Changed alloy centre caps and lacquered them so the paint doesnt come away. (£6.75 on ebay for 4 very happy)
Finally the under tray is missing but got a new one ready to fit when the mount is identified and changed along with an oil service.
Its a one owner car (company then purchased it when he retired) Full BMW history 132k miles 320d M Sport 163 bhp model.

And a thank you to all the folkes on here that motivated me to get her cleaned and polished like you all do so thought why cant I do that.

Oh and a massive thank you to Sidetops for HPI checking the car for me you are a true gent!
