Hey folks, first timer here, so excuse my lack of knowledge of the models / series of vehicles. The rego on my 525i says 1998 is the year, but it's all alloy top to bottom, which some websites suggest didnt happen until 1999 onwards, so I am completely lost there. It's a Japanese import vehivle anyway.
I am replacing the thermostat housing, or at least thought I was, until figuring out that the fan needed to come off the pump. I have eBayed, and Ali-Exed these, but would prefer to be able to get this job done sooner than 1 months away, so I wondered if the local community could help me out with the "rental" of a set of fan tools for a week, to speed up the process.
I understand that tools are traditionally a sacred item you dont even lend to friends, let alone some random on a message board, so I am more than willing to pay a sum of money up front if that helped. I would not normally, ask, but the car needs to be back on the road asap. I have read about "tapping", and screwdriver jamming the fan etc, but my spanner set maxes out at 30mm unfortunately.
thanks for your time.
