A lovely E92 N47N in for some work as the mileage has reached the limit. At 92k miles this 2.0d had loads of slack in the upper chain, the car was shaking due to a damage flywheel centre bearing and the reverse was able to be engaged in no way so a replacement GB was supplied and fitted.
Now runs like a dream.
Keeping up with maintenance will always keep your car up and running for good miles from now on.
Good job changing your oil every 5k miles.

What does it means to neglect your oil changes?
Eventually the chain snaps, the bearings are affected and the engine will require rebuilding/ replacement.
The car, Mini Cooper SD 2014 with only 54k miles on the clock.
A replacement engine has been supplied, new timing chain fitted and back on the road.
Hopefully the customers has learned his lesson about how important is an oil change.
N47/N57 will require every 5k miles or every year fresh oil.
Don’t listen to your dashboard computer as instead of charging your oil you will change your engine!
Drive safe and keep up with fresh quality oil.

So hard to keep up the page updated due to so many engine rebuild lately.
But once in a while I do find a spare time to post some of the work.
N57D30B 640d,535d, 335d, 435d and so on, the bi turbo ones, be careful up there as your bearings spun the same way your wheels do🙈
Lately the job for this engine is not just the timig chain but oil pump and bearings in the same time, will save your engine from being destroyed.
5k miles oil change it’s still a crucial thing to do, 9 years or 90k miles for the chain remain.
Wishing you safe roads and safe trips!

It’s been months since my last post but it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that lately I’ve been so busy that I couldn’t keep up with everything.
For the last months I’ve started reconditioning engines and this is such a time consuming that I’ve never imagined so, but such satisfying job.
Here’s is a 2014 435d Euro 6 N57D30B with a spun main bearing, stripped and recon from A to Z.
New block, bearings all around, timing chain, oil cooler, oil pump, piton rings, head gasket, head bolts, oil and oil filer, and now back on the roads and runs like a dream.
Change your oil every 5k miles in order to avoid this.

Is your N46 engine not starting up and you got codes like “fuel pump relay “?
Most probably your fuel pump relay (which is part of the JunctionBox, soldered to it) may have failed.
It’s not an ordinary relay, it’s a 10 pin relay which normally you don’t replace it but I do😁
Up and running and back on the road👊
