Re: Non genuine fuel pumps
Genuine parts cost the extra for a reason... Rubbish! What's the difference between a genuine BMW suspension arm, and a Lemforder suspension arm sourced from ECP? Same part, made in same factory but sold for two very different prices. The ONLY difference is that one has BMW logo on it. Main dealer ...

Re: Good garage in Leicester
Broad Street Garage in Enderby has a very good reputation. I visited them today. They have an impressive workshop and only use quality parts.

Re: Burton Engine mounts...
I have the same issue, a very slight fowling of the exhaust when turning left. I bought a set of needle files recently to see if they will do the trick on the linkage, not got round to it yet though.
Haven't noticed the mounts bulging if I'm honest!

Excellent stuff mate, very brave taking that rust on!
One thing though though, is that a standard E30 rack your fitting? If so I wouldn't bother, you'll be much better off sourcing and fitting an E46 '067' rack or similair - the difference it makes to the way the car drives is amazing!
