bargain.... low mileage.....

at the last BP meet I noticed some water dripping from the engine which got considerably worse.... Looks like standing around did the perishable items any good...

I thought it might be the plastic water pump that is a common problem on the e36's however a local garage says its coming from behind the timing case and looks like a head gasket or the rubber timing gasket thing... Thats a head off job

He did say the actual compression test on the engine was great and the car was lovely

The car will be shipped out to Dad @ http://www.nurburgmotorsport.com for the job and also maybe a head polish etc whilst its off at somewhere like Tauber.... No doubt Manfred will have a play with it whilst he's putting it back together!

At least this way the belts will be changed and the engine can be inspected before it gets used in anger!!!

Big list mate, just had a look on your dad's link and really think that the bloke welding in the pic with the header titled fabrication should be wearing some eye protection
