In this episode, it's all about wrenching and giving the E30 much-needed TLC. We do a thorough service of the engine, replace the timing belt, adjust the valves, replace the oil pan gasket... We also hun down a wild animal in the shop.

Instead of welding a bolt to the broken bolt, weld a nut to it (if the thread is OK use one the same thread size. Fill the hole with weld, the heat should break the rust grip. You can also put a larger nut over the smaller nut and weld it together, this is method I've used to remove sheared suspension unit bolts on Tanks which are torqued to 750nm with high strength locktite. Trust me it works a charm.

Mice hate mint, so a quick and easy solution is to get pepper mint essential oil, and add a couple capfuls to about 500ml of water in a spray bottle. Just spray the solution across doorways, room corners etc, even engine bays. It'll keep them away completely, rather than having them still gaining access/sticking around, and having to catch them

Take it out and clean it the best you can, spray penetrating fluid in the hole where the 2 air hoses attach to let it soak in. After that put it in the freezer and after 5 min put it in hot/boiling water, repeat til you see the little valve close fully only the little square should be open.

A broken sub-frame bolt is obviously a large blot to remove and I like the idea of welding a nut on. For smaller bolts, I've seen left hand drill bits used with great success. Sometimes the drill bit itself removes the bolt without any need to use a screw extractor. I recently bought a set of high quality USA left hand drill bits just in case I needed them one day. One month later I had a broken bolt and they saved the day!

I've had some luck with stuck side air valves by thoroughly cleaning them in an ultrasonic cleaner. Use penetrating oil and then heat cycle it a number of times in a pan of boiling water and the freezer. The cold/hot shock will free up the sliding valve. Sometimes it requires repeated ultrasonic cleaning as well. That way you can free up the sliding valve that is currently stuck in oxidized aluminium and other debris. So far I've managed to revive 4 out of 5 of these valves. After you've succeeded coat the valve with a thin spray of PTFE lubricant (and preferably repeat this every now and then).
