Thanks Daz, I will have another conversation with the mechanic tomorrow but given my total lack of skill in this dept, I am reliant on one to actually fix it for me. My concern is that it may be uneconomical to go thru with the fix at all. It's MOT is due mid Oct which could also open up a new can of worms so to speak! Any thoughts on the value for repairs and parts and how best to pursue that option would be helpful too.

Jack, I wouldn't know a socket set if one came up and bit me!!

Hi, Would welcome some wisdom as I'm a first time BMW owner. I have a 1997P reg coupe which blew its radiator a couple of days ago. According to the garage mechanic, the pressure built up in the engine and caused the blowout, as with a new rad the temp gauge flew up to Red as soon as it was taken on the road, so something engine related, possibly the head gasket? Suggested repair would not be economical. What are my options? Is it not worth repairing, and if so what would be the best route to get the most for salvage? I know he has genuine split wheels, but beyond that unsure where to get best advice. Many thanks
