Like a chump I've over tightened the expansion tank bleed valve and sheared the head off, leaking coolant left right and Chelsea! We've ordered one on eBay but need a replacement before Saturday- does anyone know if BMW does a similar part? |

Use a suitably sized metal bolt with some PTFE tape, should hold a while... Pete

No, sorry, measure it, probably an M6, M8 or M10, ie, 6,8 or 10 mm Pete
