The V8 Owners Forum -

I have put an edited version of my original post on BMW UK's Facebook page.

If you passing please give it a like, they might make a response if it gets enough attention.

Unfortunately I do not have a twitter account

I was told that under a BMW warranty claim for paintwork, The body shop has to complete a file with paperwork for every stage along with photos which has to go to BMW. I guess this is so the body shop have some responsibility for the work, BMW knows the work has been completed to a standard and they...

If the dodgy paintwork had been my first issue I might of given them a chance to fix it but then what sort of business would have a third party complete work on their behalf and then not check the work before handing it over to the customer. It was beyond my last straw and they were lucky I held it ...

I contacted BMW UK customer service on Thursday 7th and explained that I thought they should know that I had rejected the car purely on customer service, the operator sounded shocked and said thanks for the call. I asked if somebody would call me back? To which the operator replied, No we will deal ...

This is the very condensed version of the unbelievable and very poor customer service review that I have been subjected to by Synter BMW Birmingham. I started to type this up in detail but just the way that they secured the deal took me a page to write. The vehicle in question was a 2012 BMW E92 M3 ...

It's a '91 3.9 RV8 Range rover classic. It has no cats but has a full stainless exhaust system. I'm assuming the cats haven't been removed with the exhaust change.

From what I understand there are two different solutions to my problem, being shown here. Both a lot more complicated than I first envisaged but self bleeding would make it worth the extra work.
Can anybody tell me which solution is best for my needs ?

You need to tweak the system if the highest point is not the header tank. Air will always collect at the bleed point and you'll always be bleeding it. What you need is an expansion bottle, which you can mount anywhere you like. This is what I did with my Landie. http://www.cowdery.org.uk/images/v8r...

Probably got other sizes give them a call

Works a treat too. I've also got the same as their in-line housing on page 310 of catalogue and has a code #INT32

Have you got a temperature sensor in it ?

Looking at the photo some more. If the air pocket is just over half way up the hose, you would only be able to see coolant and not know the air is there anyway.

Has anybody got any links to anything suitable in the UK ?

My Range rover has a buggy body and due to that it would appear that the expansion tank has been mounted lower than originally. In it's new position it is lower than the radiator top hose. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/rustyveedub/Mobile%20Uploads/20140828_125124.jpg It feels like a fair bit ...

It has a K&N cylinder filter which was cleaned and re-oiled less than 500 miles ago.
What else can I check ?

Got some new leads and plugs from V8tuner, after fitting the engine was noticeably smoother........too smooth.
Took it back for a retest today and it passed.

HC 1812 to 219
but
CO 2.97% to 3.43%

I hope the CO doesn't go up next year as 3.5% is a fail

I have been looking at the suppliers at the bottom of the main page and there seem to be 2 main ones, Realsteel and V8tuner. I was just about to ask about the Magnecore leads as they were recommended on a Land rover forum. Would Realsteel sell the good quality Dizzy caps and arms ? Just thinking for...

I'm not tight when it comes to my toys as i like to know they are in top condition. Since this is the only problem i have to sort for the MOT, i can't complain either. Nope they aren't Bosch. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/rustyveedub/Mobile%20Uploads/20140818_160456.jpg I will buy a new set o...
