Thanks for your time yesterday.
Mr DTM, spent several hours on 'a 30 minute job' to reset the tractor cam timing. Yet another fantastic BMW design. Not! Additionaly, thanks to you for letting me make your front room look like a PC workshop whilst I tested the MCE on your rather nice TV. Which proved that an X300 ain't much cop at 1920 x 1080 ;D
Thanks to Mr Matchless for taking the time out from his little project :o to check out my 'demister' :y
The journey back from Nottingahm was uneventful, returned over 40mpg, computer reckoned average spped was high 70s (must be wrong ::), so I would say that was a successful, if long, day.
Thanks :)

Excellent.....
Weren't you able to get the timing dead on when fitting the head, then? Bloomin BMW...

time to get some of the money invested in the tractor back in decent fuel economy!

Ploughing....

I should use it for scraping the drive, not enough power or grip for ploughing....
Glad its better, that BMW setup realy is shit and old fashioned.......it just adds another point to my on-going hate of this over rated power plant.

Yes, Omegatoy was trying to see how many yards he could get out of a newish set of my rears earlier ;D

I have to say, whilst its not that bad, it is not as good as people think. They are blinded by the fact its BMW. Its a bastard to work on, and it was designed by a bloody idiot. But when it works, its not that bad...

One advantage of the BMW diseasle........you need never worry about unusual squeaks and rattles, failed alternator bearings, noisy air con compressors or screaming aux belt tensioners COS YOU WONT HEAR THEM DUE TO THE DIN of a diseasle on TICKOVER. ;D

LOL, just sat trying to think of an argument against that comment, but can't :y
The do rattle a bit, don't they ;D
Been playing with Mrs Omegatoy's 97 estate today - that is the quietest BMW TD I've ever heard though :y
-
The other thing is that BMW in thier infinate wisdom set the managemnt system so it hardly ever puts the fault light on.....even if something has failed!
But yes, you have no chance of spotting noisey alternator bearings etc!
