Thank God for that

Well I went and bought the 36mm bit (and an adapter for the torque wrench), a new Mann filter and swapped everything over - and although the filter in there already was new, the or ring was flat/flush which is why oil was flooding out. The new one in the Mann kit was round and was snug. And...

Thanks, I’ve shone a torch and there is drips of oil in all the spark plug holes so looks like a rocket gasket then. Not too horrendous! Swapping and reseating the coils just make more misfire codes - oops. Breakdown coming out to investigate the oily filter housing as it’s really flooding out...

And number 6 doesn’t look well at all. Abandon.

Injectors look like this

Ah, okay thanks - only got a plumbers spanner big enough so maybe a garage job. Especially as swapping 1 & 2 just made them both misfire and I’ve noticed this around number 6…which I’m sure isn’t where oil is meant to be.

Just to add that was after running for a few minutes to read all the codes again before I started on coils.

Missus home last night with a misfire. Codes say cylinder 2 and I’m up this morning after a google and about to swap coils over, but after running the engine for a bit I noticed this? An arsehead of a mechanic did an oil change a few weeks ago, and there appears to be pooling oil. I believe...

Any news?

£540 of paint alone is mildly questionable.

Username checks out, etc.

Tbf I bought my 5 series with zero photos and a completely unreasonable asking price according to Autotrader. Mostly an AI description to boot. I couldn’t have bought it faster either 😀

Possibly an unpopular opinion, and I am respectful of the demographic here, but the old similes really dated the forum and made it look a bit dark-ages of the internet -I thought the new ones used by whatsapp etc was a great step forward.

A bump before I resort to EBay (rather not)
