Hi, another newbie

Post by x5monster » Tue Nov 05, 2013 3:31 pm

Hi

ive managed to pic up a 2002 for a bargain price, it needed some mechanical work but having spent the money I still think it was a bargain.
The head gasket was gone after only 112k miles so I have replaced the engine with a 76k motor. it now runs nice and smooth and as it was designed to  ;)
I will get some pics up once ive given it a scrub  :)

yes quite handy with a spanner but a broken wrist plays havoc when you have to change the engine  ;)
