Pete Posted February 12, 2003 Author Share Posted February 12, 2003 Can get it done for nothing at the local BMW Specialist Cars, just wondered if it was the right way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
900ss Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 You can- but the likelihood is that the thing won’t re start, or it will end up with a misfire! But if you’re prepared to fart about a bit afterwards to get it going again then go for it . Maybe try me old favourite and just wash the engine down with clean petrol That’s the best of the lot imo but take care!! You do it at your own risk. ( paraffin might be safer as it won’t blow up in your face lol ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS2000 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 (edited) I looked at a car that was for sale last week that had just had the engine profesionaly cleaned, and i must say it was an excellent job, and only cost the guy £12...Had a small prob with the electrics after, but nothing much. Well worth it IMO Edited February 12, 2003 by RS2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
