Re: Mileage on used van correct?

Another thing I'm sat here thinking about is the power or lack of in regards to the engine. She starts with no problem and smoothly idles but it feels as though there is no real power like I would expect a V6 to have. Now this could be because the BMW has a straight six and is diesel but I just don'...

Re: What going on in my Radiator?

I agree with all of the above and can I suggest a little block flushing gadget? If you happen to have an old plastic pop up sprinkler sitting around simply gut it and place a male female attachment to one end so your garden hose fits. The other end usually fits straight inside your radiator hose and...

Re: Past midnight in England

Great info !!! I noticed that the water pump had gone out some time ago and was replaced, the remaining rust over the intake manifold leads me to believe that there wasn't a proper mixture in the tank so it's worth checking out the trans and adding a cooler if it hasn't already been done. I'll be to...
