If it's that Silver one Daz posted up then I think it's Ford's 5.5 V8 Supercharged, F150 Lightning Daz? :bigcry: :smokin: :supz:

Anyway, on another note as I've been away what's happened with the CSL!?

I see, gutted

I'm sure I saw a Ford Pickup F250 last weekend at a show I was at, bloody thing must have been 20ft long! :hahaha:

Why didn't they put a new head on if covered by warranty ?

Fingers and everything else crossed for you dude! :smt045

10mpg that's about what I get out of the GTIR on a good day! :smt101

They're still investigating the fault...

It's a black one after all - it'll probably need a new engine as that's normally the way with the 'dark side' :whistle: :hahaha:

[Sailorbaz]

Skimming? I wouldn't have thought BMW would skim a head. As said above, if done under warranty, why not a new head?

:smt102

Dunno think they are seeing if that is the main only cause if so yes a new head ..

[Bealo]

Fingers crossed it's something else on top of the head and you get a new engine!

Policy with any main M type engine component is to fit new parts , so skimming sounds a bit "unusual" to me. If swarf is found in ANY part of the engine, its an automatic new engine ... I know someone who had this done recently !!:birdman:
