For some time my exhaust has been blowing, crackling and generally falling asunder so with the NCT retest coming up again I decided to swap it out with a standard item from a 320i until I decide on what way I plan to do my exhaust. Naturally the nuts on the exhaust bolts at the cat end of the car were rotten and seized so I rung those off and put new ones on.

Not BMW items but close enough. While I was under there I noticed the passenger rear jack pad was missing and some temporary rust treatment needed doing around it. I wire brushed off the heavy crud and then applied some kurust, once dry Wurth stop rust primer was applied followed by the jack pad.

I finished off with oil and oil filter, spark plug change, headlight alignment and suspension check.

Both left & right rear upper outer control arm bushes now badly need replacing.

I didn't take any snaps of oil and plugs change, car is much quieter now and going very well. Next up is NCT and rear outer upper control arm bushes and take it from there.....


Thanks for looking .
