Moral of the story, ALWAYS clean your OWN cylinder head before taking it to be tested and not be a lazy eejit like Me. It will cost you £85 in idiot tax

Bugger Me, Daz.... Looks like a mineshaft !!

Good job the piston was tougher than the head mate...

Are you gonna get a complete head or a bare one and fit your stuff into it?

After calling around 12 companies (one turning out to be an agricultural farm machinery repairer in Scotland :S) I have onyl had ONE reply to my calls via a later Email. This is what I got back:

Hi Darren, thanks for the enquiry regarding a replacement cylinder head for your BMW 520i 2.0 12v MPi M20 731. We can supply a fully remanufactured cylinder head, fully assembled ready for fitting from stock at £345 + £24 (carriage/overnight delivery) + VAT. All our remanufactured cylinder heads are sold on a service exchange basis (no surcharge) and carry a twelve months unlimited mileage parts and labour warranty.

Regards,

Ian Bostock

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.

      105C thermostat replacement

      Not sure what engine your running but there should be a Temp sensor in the Hose from the Rad to the water pump then there should be a Temp sensor in the housing for the Thermostat Both are shown in realoem for the 3.5 V8 I thought the V8 was the only one with dual use sensor on the Thermostat housing but stand to be corrected Dave
