Turbos are the issue on the hdi engines, major issue. I've not come across a huge amount of petrol problems really.

A Turbo is a perishable item imo, replace like wheel bearings

Not sure if the later r56's were included but there was a recall a while back. Might want to check up on it?
I wouldn't keep it tbh. They seem to be nout but trouble. :/

just a quick update
got the head back with the new cam cap, its absolutley amazing
tool for locking the cams and the crank also came
and a bag of goodies from bmw
new valves
Head cleaned, steamed and prepped
New oil valve seals
Everything set out ready to go back into the head
Cleaned before it went in
Nice clean work bench to build the head on
And as always progress stopped for the next car
Plus this will be in next week after its been painted for a couple of bits
