Okay, got one mobile mechanic looking at pricing up the gig, message left for another one.

 

Hopefully by the end of today I will have an idea of cost. Not bothered about getting the other bits sorted as my mate will tackle those. This is steam engine mate who detests working on stuff that isn't steam powered or pre-WW2 :)

God knows ^^.

 

Mobile mechanic came today and BMW fettled. He replaced the CCV and the hose that used to breathe. It was vile, a massive split in the pip was obvious and the whole thing was the consistency of a chewed licorice allsort. Disgusting. No wonder t he car wouldn't idle. I replaced the 3 small hoses at the front of the engine. It now wears blue silicon replacements for an added 0.000000005 bhp extra. Does the job happily though.

 

The mechanic pronounced the car 'lovely'. The car now purrs like a teutonic kitten. It really is lovely. We ran out of light to do an oil change like I'd hoped.

 

Photos to follow.
