Looks like the BMW is going to be repaired Stuart as the owner has already bought a new engine wiring loom and other bits for it,
but my friend will ask him tonight is he wants to get shot of it as it is.
Will let you know
I think I might have found a suitable donor. I'll be going to have a look this weekend and, hopefully, doing a deal from there. The guy has a load of parts fitted to it that he wanted more money for, so I politely asked him to work a price out without the toot!
