It is possible to re-use both, yeah,
Oil, I wouldn't see a huge problem in re-using, but for the cost of it I'd replace.
Lots of people are funny about te-tensioning a belt too, especially as if it snaps, it'll likely take the cambelt with it. If it were me, I'd not bother swapping the oil...
Run it until it gets worse. Nurse it.
In that time, buy a second hand box off here. One that's either rebuilt recently, or from a trusted seller and have that rebuilt if you want to be sure.
Impressive set of cars, that.
Totally agree though, you become numb to seeing this kind of metal day in day out.
Takes something pretty special to come into my work to make me take note anymore.
Cheers Ant. Loving it more an more by the day.
Got four Clio wheels with tyres and four additional tyres in it earlier, no problems at all. Probably could have got the same in again too!
It's lovely and smooth mate. Engine sounds awesome, and pulls a lot harder than it feels like. Put your foot down, there's a gentle surge, look down and it's 80mph, lol.
Cheers mate. Progress has been pretty slow TBH on the minter. Just waiting on the wheels coming back from the refurbers, and...
Lol! I wish I could take a picture of this phone. It's probably one of the most battered iPhones on the planet.
Current fleet is:
E39 535 M Sport
E30 325i Cab
32k mile Ph1 172 Project minter.
Track spec Ph1 172
Shed Ph2 172.
Need to get shot of four of them tbh. Sensible offers...
So the missus' sister needs a car to kart the kids about in for a few weeks and could I source a car for them to drive to save renting one.
I took this upon myself to buy another car. Total now of five. Fleet, almost.
Anyway, this is now my favourite car I've ever owned. A few pics...
