Learn something new, must just be halogen saloons then that have it then as they're on regular rear suspension.
Just had a quick nosy at halogen equipped Toruings on the trader, it appears some have adjustment and others don't. Strange.
My Halogen lamps also self level when you switch them on. You can see it clearly.Just had a quick nosy at halogen equipped Toruings on the trader, it appears some have adjustment and others don't. Strange.

I now need a new coolant expansion tank. Got a low coolant warning when a couple of miles from home. Once I got home, I waited for it to cool down and poured some in. All of it went on the drive.
On further examination and I find this:
Snap! Mine just went in exactly the same place. Alpina specific part however and sadly £197 for a very similar expansion tank On further examination and I find this:
Might just ask you chaps, I'm fairly certain my petrol tank lift pump has started buzzing more than usual recently. At idle its very noticeable outside. You can't hear it with the doors shut or when driving obviously.
At first I wondered if the weather temp drops recently might have caused it. Someone suggested low fuel might cause it so I filled up - no change, still buzzing away.
Any ideas - could it be a sign of the lift pump being about to conk out?

Google seems to suggest removing the Headlamp which seems like hard work.

It's a faff - there's some wiggling to be done and it feels like you're going to scrape the paint off the projecting bits of front bumper/grille surround. Youtube videos are your friend. I think I had to do it to replace a bulb because it's virtually impossible to access them otherwise.

Something must of got in there at some point to score a cylinder?
Total will be 5.5k. Got a message saying new block has arrived today from Germany.Something must of got in there at some point to score a cylinder?
Might see if I can get the old block back off them and sell it for scrap. Must be worth a few quid.
