My 1974 BMW E12 520 wouldn’t start! After a lot of head scratching, swearing and despair, I asked for help and a friend of mine told me what was possibly wrong… it was an easy fix!
Following the first episode of this project where I give an overview of this high mileage hero, the 2001 Volvo S80, I will be now focussing on what is going on under the bonnet, or if you are in the US, under the hood.
I change wipers, air filter and also clean parts of the air intake.
Despite the fact that a cambelt change has just been completed, what else needs to be done? Have a look and find out.

This is a video update on what’s going on at the moment with my 1974 BMW E12 520 Auto.
Brakes, suspension and carburettors still need to be worked on and time is running out!

In this video, I'll be replacing the wing mirror of my wife's Focus MK3.
Very simple process, which is very similar to the one for the MK2

In this video, I’ll be replacing the thermostat housing on my wife’s Ford Focus mk3 1.0l Ecoboost.
It was lucky that I happened to top up the fluid on my wife’s car and noticed the expansion tank was really low… I only looked at under the bonnet two weeks ago and all was fine!

In this video, I’ll be doing an experiment where I test my real world fuel consumption, using the new E10 95 octane and the higher octane E5.
Are the OBC readings accurate?
I’ll compare the results and ask some drivers what they think about this new fuel.
