      • After chasing an oil leak which looked to be coming from the chain tensioner it was actually from the vanos and running down a solenoid wire and dripping on the top of

        the tensioner so I replaced the covers O ring which made no difference so now fitted a new cover and another new O ring. Fingers crossed this will fix the leak.


        Part number 11361401845 cover and 11311317730 O ring

I talked with Bernie that I’m sure it won’t belong before it gets the “treatment” by Dave. Pleased to see that it looks to have polished to within a inch of its life.

                        Well done Dave, the car does you credit in the quality of work you have put into it.

                          Thanks Pete, the plate is in poor condition with the silver worn off in places and lots of marks so looks like it has has a hard life, annoyed that I was runner up a few years ago and it wasnt engraved with my details then so will see if they can be added this time. I have been told that these awards are meant to be given back in good time before the next years event but some people dont return them which is a shame.

                          • Remove passenger seat to fit new pre tensioner so had good access to the side of console which had some scuffs.
