I just popped in to Zeemax, and the mechie that worked on my car took it for a drive and was almost speechless, he says that I am damn lucky that the engine is still fine and is very impressed that its going so well.

My suspicions have been confirmed that the noise is a lifter, he reckons after the next engine flush it should come right.

Next flush goes in today, and the oil gets changed again on Thursday.

Good luck with your sticky fingers

What you guys think of a wheel like this for the 540?



I'm looking at going with 18s

Hello Don

If the problem with the lifters ensues give me a shout.

We supply both an engine flush and Lifter additive which stops lifter noise.

Last weekend she seem to be running not to bad, so I think it's time for a detail.....

When it comes to wheels I cant say if it is going to work unless it is on he car. So I google for pic with maybe a similar wheels on. Found something else that don't look bad:

no worries, I simply split the thread.

Engine flush discussion moved to general off topic forum.

Hey Mr Alpina you didn't answer my question. Are you after the Alpina look

[calypso]

I think that car is too big for the old school Alpina's. I prefer the newer Alpina Dynamics for a bigger car

[freerider]

well today that annoying noisy lifter decided that it was going to stop its shit and become quiet

Engine sounds so great now! no more tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
