Yeah that’s not ideal then mate. You could be into a new steering rack at this rate ☹️

Ah ok. I just do the eps start up procedure using Ista mate, so the test module just does the bizzo for you. My real concern here is if the rack has jumped on the drive somehow when the rack was moved to unstick the bush. There is absolutely no reason to do that, as you can pull the bush out...

Does bimmer link allow you to restart the steering calibration? The official bmw way is to remove the power supply plug and the signal wire plug. You’re also measuring the play in the rack bush in microns - there’s a special tool for doing it that we use at work when we replace them. For the...

If it was mine, I’d get the passenger side sorted and then just enjoy it mate. I’d only get a full respray if you were gonna go down the route of full resto/concourse condition.

Ffs! I missed that bit! I’d have been all over that with 😂

I still have an engine stand, so I may be tempted to do one last engine build. Let me know what your idea is for spec and we can see what can be sorted.

You know what, I’m pretty sure we’ve had ‘that’ in at work before dropping a car off!

Bloody annoying!!!

So what you’re essentially saying is @Scrooge and his brother fixed it?

@Touring_Rob you're s**t mate 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think the most important question that needs to be answered at this point are, did @Touring_Rob get it running? Or someone else?

That looks night and day better than it did after the collision mate! I was genuinely gutted to see the damage on the car as well, but the main thing is, it’s all fixable stuff. Has the rack moved slightly on its mounts?

Absolutely sue perb day up at Cadwell yesterday, and great company! I didn’t stop smiling all day! Massive shout out to the admin for pulling off an MSV track as well! With the venue being a bit more compact, from a paddock perspective, I think it kept everyone together more. I may be biased...

Personally, I think you’ll be fine. As I said yesterday mate, gut feel is some of the belt has gone behind the crank pulley and nicked the crank pulley seal.

If you get the box out and bring it to me, it’s a while you wait job - providing that clip hasn’t broken. If the clip has broken, ideally you want to be opening the box to retrieve it so it can’t do any damage internally.
