It was FoC. Carry out outstanding QE - Installing repair cable for the positive terminal.

I haven't lifted the bonnet to see what was done.
Having owned an N47 engined diesel in the past I'd definitely want to see what was alleged to have been done!

"QE" on those tractor power-plants potentially meant a new cam-chain (which means engine out as the chain is at the back of the engine just to add to the stupidity and cost of course) :evil:

Plus on early models a new crankshaft as well!

Still I sold mine before it died or got to be uneconomical to repair which was well before BMW finally started to pick up the tab for designing a product that wasn't fit for purpose! - Lucky escape!
Coupes because stunning!

They did it (for free, of course), gave the car a 'health check', washed & hoovered it and I was pleased. :)
Letting 10psi out of your new non run-flats by any chance??? :fuelfire:

Sitting in my Dealers at the moment waiting for the dreaded MOT and was informed of the positive battery cable recall. Gonna get mine done when I have the brake fluid change later in the year.
