I think Bonnie Scotland has fitted colour hoses to his mowta:approve: I'm sure he said they were a bit of a pain in the ass to fit but I could be wrong;) :p:D:approve:

Yeah but was that not because he kept falling off the stool he had to stand on to reach the engine bay? :D

Pretty sure he had to get a responsible adult to help him - read about it here

Very nice Alan :cool: Certainly must have been a job squeezing those hoses in :eek:
Yep, i broke a few nails and scuffed my knuckles before i decided to get John Clark's to do it :evil:
It was in for a wee warranty job anyway :eek:

You'll need to drain the whole coolant sytem too - so remember to get some more anti-freeze too!

I bought the correct anti freeze from JC's thinking i was gonna do this myself, but, after starting the job and realising the task ahead and the fact i just couldn't be bothered :I i booked it into JC's and got them to bash their knuckles and scrape their fingers

Some dealers may not agre to fit the non BMW parts ;)

Big Col, your comments didn't go unoticed :evil:
