In all honesty i don't trust him (as its the first time I've used him), I'm planning to get a second opinion tomorrow.

What are the obvious symptoms for a failed HG??(Ignore this I've just checked your link) Ive got some milky residue in the oil filler cap but nothing overly major (due to condensation maybe?).

Ive took it to BMW (twice), they said the pump and the sensor is fine and its down to the leaking rad, which i changed but i'm still getting the same problem, what else could it be?
