Morning Chris

Welcome to the Forum

Not sure about your issue here ? Normally the Oil Filler neck has a couple of slots and the Cap has a couple of Tangs that fit the slots and a seal around it's edge twisting the cap pulls the seal tight making an airtight seal.

So do you have a damaged oil filler cap or a damaged filler pipe if it is the oil filler pipe I would question how it happened. My guess would be the rocker cover was dropped.

Changing the cap simple, the oil filler pipe will require some stripping off the acoustic covers the pipe is held in place by 2 torx screws I believe so a job that is time consuming rather than difficult.

Sorry not aware of any videos or tutorials

      wheel fitment

      Absolutely correct my E53 runs 9.5 x 20 Front and 10.5 x 20 Rear and the E70 is as yo say 10 x 20 Front 11 x 20 Rear. Not really necessary on a 4x4 but BMW Designers like the looks 🤣🤣 ( and so do I) Hope you found what you needed Dave

      Front windscreen washers

      Morning Donna Has the pump always been like this or has it come on over time? I think I would check the voltage at the Pump connectors so you can compare front and rear perhaps swap the connectors. If the pump action changes when the connector is swapped then the wiring needs checking and the connector needs cleaning with a good electrical contact cleaner. Dave

      Front windscreen washers

      Hi Dave. In my opinion the squirt is weak, it only reached about a third of the way up the windscreen. The hose has been completely changed from the pump to the first jet, tank and filters have been removed and fully cleaned. It works but weak when the car is not running, but as soon as i start the car the pump works for about 3 seconds before stopping then nothing. The rear is working fine, it's just the fronts.
