Can anyone one help?
Going to Manchester tomorrow to see Oasis in concert,and have got a few problems with my car!
Its a 316i M40.Ive just fitted a replacement engine(88,000ml)along with new clutch,cambelt/tensioner and waterpump.Everything was going well untill going for a long test run tonight!
It was running sweet for about 15 miles,temp gauge sat perfectly at a quarter(always sat at half before)no sign of any problems,but then i went to switch the heater temp dial from cold to hot and it was freezing!
Pulled in at garage and checked water level and it was as i last checked.
Tried bleeding it again(done 3 times at home already and seemed fine ticking over for 25mins),anyway couldnt get any air out so just took it easy home!
Thats when problem 2 started!
Coming to the end of the slip road,going down through the gears,and they seemed really notchy :mad:
Now they have always been really smooth before.Havent tried bleeding the clutch yet,but will in the morning,but could that be the problem,as i didnt disconect the slave cylinder,just unbolted it from the box?
