Got your comment on my site:

BMW M20 Timing / Cam belt change

It’s been too long since changing the cam/timing belt on the M20. It’s nowhere near the mileage limit but it’s far too many years overdue. I ordered a new Contitech CT 520 belt and a new tensioner...

Sometimes you shouldn’t touch a thing, although in this case it was probably good I did. Sportster clutch pipe from the reservoir to the master had a split so it leaked everywhere – outside the...

The ball joints in the gaz shocks were worn out, they didn’t have an upgrade unit available with stock BMW top mount/shock positioning. I therefore looked for an alternative which I found with the...

Last year the MOT person mentioned there was excessive movement in the rear shock mounts. After some testing it was mainly the top mounts. They are from Gaz Shocks, purchased in 2005. They still...

Wiper motor wiped, new shock mounts, clutch hydraulics and first show in years

Some recent service items:

The new wing stays I built have only a single weld each side now where they join to the...
