the thing is the car is not overheating in any way, well ive flushed it out and the heater matrix for over an hour , now i will run it and see what happens.

cheers people il drain and flush it first then go from there if problem still there il remove head and pressure test it and skim it and use bmw head gasket.

didnt get head skimmed do you think its advisable, would'nt i get lumpy idle or missfire if head was warpped

got the head off a running engine with the original 2.5/2.7 stamp on the side did not have it pressure tested but carried out a full visual inspection

cheers you just confirmed my worst fears

i started getting oil into the coolant so i done no more than removed the cylinder head and sourced another head , i removed the rad and coolant hoses and flushed out and fitted donar head with a head gasket from euro car parts, now im getting neat black oil coming in to the coolant bottle, the only...

Can anyone post me a picture of a cab with AV3 side skirts on it, showing a good picture of the side skirts so i can see how far up the seal they sit, all help would be gratfull cheers people

are you sure they havent put the valve timing out when they did the water pump and the ticking noise is the vavle just kissing the piston, i had a similar noise when i had my head skimmed once and they took to much off. just another thought!!!

I dont want to scare you but when i had my cylinder head removed and skimmed they took to much off the cylinder head so when the car was running from cold it was fine but when it warmed up you got this noise like you discribed and it was the valves just kissing the piston head due to the heat and ex...

greetings friend hope you enjoy the mad house!

cheers steve for a brillant site.

sorry mate these mouldings are just the standard moulding that sits between the door and the seal

welcome to the madhouse nice car

if i was you i would disconnect all the solenoids then plug in your test solenoid to the relevant door because if all the solenoids have burnt out which is possible they could be causing a short back to the c/d/l control unit which will confuse it
