Car with me on and off to the mechanic over the last 3 weeks since the major repair on the cylinder block. A good job done - engine felt so much better in terms of drive and vibration, which is basically nil now. One more occasion of broke down when it couldn't start late one night at Tesco Shah Alam 2 days before CNY. The petrol hose loosened as the plastic seal holding the hose to the tank broke. Lucky not much petrol left then as the petrol spilled and spread to next lot only. Sure didn't want it to catch fire burning down cars if there is any source of ignition nearby! Guard was kind enough to lock my car's wheel for overnight parking. My mechanic attended it at site within 5 minutes the next day. Observed rubber hardened and cracked hence all the plastic/rubber hoses/gaskets/brake cables in the car engine section were changed out, with gear flush, gear filter changed etc. Now feel so much reassured driving the car. Maintenance so far cost RM10,000. I will break the bills down and list them in the E36 maintenance folder for cross reference.</blockquote>
