Hi Guys
Like to say hi to the forum, already i have solved a lot of the problems i have had with my new car, one which was the most annoying thing, windows not working when the doors are shut... No i can have fresh air when i want it :)

Back the the reason for the post. The car i have bought, a 325 M-Tech Sport. Nice car leather heated recaro, A/C etc etc has a cracked head. As a lot of people seem to have had, or so the search seems to tell me.

I have had a hunt about but so far i have failed to find anything like a step by step to the process of swaping the broken head with the new replacement item.

Does anybody have one? Or know where to find one as i planning to undertake the task over the weekend. It would be nice to have some extra tips other than the haynes book. Short cuts etc....

Cheers Guys

Andy

dazleeds I have seen that one. Very very good guide but I have been lucky enough to have got hold of a head thats been done already.
I am looking for a best way to remove old head, and refit new one to block guide type of thingy...
