did some more bits to the 7er :



got a new air and oil filter and a chain tensioner from micksgarage


old tensioner out



old spring is much shorter than the new tensioner, was definitely causing the noise.


new air filter in


dropped the sump, only a bit of solidified oil, luckily no tensioner guide pieces.



all cleaned up and new sump gasket and bolts installed.

then some nice new oil and filter , no more chain rattle and the engine is smooth as silk even on a cold start.

Wired up a reversing camera , fairly easy install with everything in the boot and no runs to the front.

Hi Eric,
Very neat camera install, If you don't mind me asking what make/model camera is it and are you happy with the picture quality?.
Also is that head-unit oem?

Thanks!

head unit is OEM, I've a full BMW mk4 navigation setup,

camera was an ebay job that I got from germany for 30 quid, very happy with the quality I have to say, it has no night vision but the reverse light light up enough to see clearly in the dark.
