Hey guys just wondering if anyone in perth has a engine lock tool like this one

http://www.promini.com/product_huge_ima ... 9sZy5qcGc=

that they would be willing to lend or hire out?

My old man has asked for help to do the timing chain on his r56 cooper.

Bmw quoted $3000 to do it @ $220 per hour.

a bit pricey I think.

cheers rodney

Buy this one with the money you save by doing yourself, then when mine needs doing you can do it for $110 an hour (or a carton of beer ha ha.....)

Ok $110 an hour it is..... oh btw its a 8hr job supposably..

Plus parts

8 times $110 = a carton of beer

Ha ha..... $880 is still better than $3000

Plus eBay parts will be a hell of a lot cheaper than from BMW!

Lol. Better be bloody nice beer marty......

The job takes between 4-6 hours...Parts from bmw about $1000 (tensioner Guide rails & gears). I use a non genuine IWIS chain about $100( better than no name genuine) the other parts are genuine. Total cost at our shop is $1600.... We are only a couple of thousand K's from you so its cheaper to drive over than have it done at your local BMW dealer...HA
