Hello all, Have any of you used the above in relation to reviving / softening hardened valve stem seals? Any opinions welcomed, Thanks, Robert

Welcome aboard bud :thumbsup:

I "transitioned"😐 from a Eunos 1.8L to a 2.5si in 2016. Absolutely no regrets whatsoever 👍.

Fitted a pair of new gas struts for the boot lid to replace the originals which had become corroded. Nitrolift from SGS Engineering.

Just thought I would drop a few lines in case it might be useful to somebody. Two years ago I bought a couple of Febi Bilstein Vanos solenoids as a preventative measure to be fitted at the same time as a new water pump and thermostat. The day after fitting them, the car started sounding like a...

Two new Uniroyal Rainsport 5 tyres on the front.

Get your mechanic to do it 😊 . I asked him to do it the same time he put the new Vanos units in. To be honest, I think it's much easier that way as he can get it up on the lift and work on it from underneath, so it's only a few minutes work then. He used to use Waxoyl but finds Lanoguard less...

New BMW Vanos solenoids fitted in place of the originals and Lanoguard applied to the underside of the car.

Yes, Ducklakeview, that's the one. If I rememeber rightly, his thumbnail was a sort of a semi transparent diagram of a Z4

Fitted a new cabin air / pollen filter. Absolute pig of a job to do.

Don't pay too much to the negative comments steviejayo1.

Hello Every Body, Jay Emm here. I'll wager that uh-my Youtube channel, amongst other car orientated fare, provides maybe a much needed alternative to the tired, washed up offerings on MSM. Don't forget to like, subscribe...and I'll see you in the next one.

Hi Rich8, Back in November 2020 I had to have a new oil pan / sump fitted on my 2007 facelift E85 as the original had started to corrode badly around the oil level sensor port and was leaking oil: Long story short, I had to buy a brand new sump, part number B11.13.7.553.164. So it's the same...

The near side mirror started to become loose on my E85 back in 2019 and so I took both mirrors off and refixed them using Araldite two pack. I've not had any problems since and the car is a daily driver and on the road all year round. I've no idea whether it would be problematic trying to get...
