Anyone in the South near to me had this done recently? Looking for a recommended place to get it sorted

I had it done at ETA Motorsport near Brands Hatch. Well, I took a modified valve to have them fit it. Well recommended, they're a great bunch who know M cars inside out.

It is very easy (by all accounts) I only went there because I'm very, very lazy.

So i ordered a CDV, 6 WEEKS ago :tumbleweed: , and i finally get a call from my dealer yesterday to say it has arrived.

I went home n found an old drill bit and i started to hit the piston through the bottom of the valve, but the drill bit was the only part that came through the bottom. not happy. :headbang:

what to do now - keep attacking this new CDV and try to destroy the piston or take out the original and hope that one at least works out ok. I was more interested in just deleting it and replacing the CDV and rubber line with a new braided hose, but i cant seem to get a hold of one.

Does anyone know where to get the braided lines from? have been searching everywhere.

Just got my car back from an inspection 2 service and got the CDV removed. So much better! It was simply removed and the two pipes joined to one another.

How much did he charge if you don't mind me asking?

I had it done as part of an inspection 2 service and an MOT so don't know. He charges £60 per hour, and I can't see it taking more than 30 minutes to be honest.

If you give him a call and say you'd like the same thing done as Leon had, he'll be able to tell you - 01306 713232

I'm looking for someone in the East Mids or South Yorks area to do my M. Got the modified CDV from Zeckhausen, just trying to find someone I trust to fit it.
