No real expenditure through the summer, thankfully.

I've know since the car went for some recall work at BMW that the sump was leaking, it was evident when I replaced the plugs and coils that the valve cover gasket was not sealing and to round it off the oil filter housing was also wet with oil.

I've order up all the gaskets needed for the above parts to be replaced as well as new front drive belts, idlers and the auto tensioner, the car is booked in with PMP in Nuneaton on the 28th to have it all fitted along with a walnut clean of the inlet valves.

GASKETS, Idlers and auto tensioner from Autodoc £168
