Swap wheel speed sensor left to right, fault follows, faulty sensor. Fault stays the same, like ABS module fault

What do they say? “Nothing runs like a Deere”

Yes I'm in Timaru and have some spare time to look at a project for you. PM sent

Oops...? Suffice to say I’ve definitely got an affliction for classic BMWs

Put some Hawk HT10 pads on the car, along with some R888R's all round. The pads made the pedal feel very vague with no heat in the brakes, but after warming them up, performed very well, and had no issues with locking up. They are of course, not great on the street, so had to keep my distance driving there and back. After the track day, they also squeal when cold. No action shots this time, as it was just me, though I guess I should figure out filming along with recording lap times. Managed a PB for me of 1:55.74. PB of the car (In it's prior state with shot HPS pads and street tyres is 1:55:44) All in all, a very consistent 1:57 Managed to pass an E46 330ci, and kept up with a few slightly higher power cars too (V8 powered AE86) So very happy with the pads, they seemed to lock up even after several laps. Now that I have pads I can trust, need some time to get consistent, so I stop locking up and wearing flat spots on tyres >.> Only real issue was at the end of the last session, when I came into the pits, turned the car off, and coolant started coming out of the overflow, leaving a massive puddle for me to clean up. Electric fan wasn't running like it was after other sessions, and temperature gauge was showing below average. Coolant pipes were solid. Ended up driving her home without incident, so we shall see. Potentially an airlock that finally got freed after almost 200km's of track duty?

Tackled the valve cover gasket today, after seeing oil on my spark plug threads a few weeks back when I changed those. Also noticed some oil leaking on the exhaust heat shield, creating a nice burning smell... Went very smoothly, being the most 'invasive' job I've done under the hood of a car to date (newbie to this stuff) and the old gasket was very hard and brittle, especially around the plug seals. Got the BMW gasket from FCP euro with the 15 fastner seals as well and torqued in a star pattern to 10nm.

Any of the above. Get restricted. Get full. Buy s1000rr.
