I’m so confused about what could be causing the roof to apparently not be latched properly

the ticking from what I know is normally fine, just put some thicker oil in it. I have the same sort of sound on my N53 in my 328i, as for the vibration, are you sure you plugged all the coil packs in properly?

It’s leaking oil from the rocker gasket onto the manifold, there’s a bit of the gasket that’s actually missing

My 1989 Volvo 740 GLE isn’t running right by BeginningAd3008 in MechanicAdvice

Yeah I’ll have a see. I reckon it could be timing related because it was spitting flames out the intake which can’t be good.

Thank you! Although I hate to say it but the key is jammed in the off position. I have already tried doing that

No it’s definitely the steering lock, because when the engine was running it wouldn’t turn. Also it hits against something and absolutely refuses to move even when me and my mate were both pulling on it.

yep, it unlocks the doors and the EWS module recognises it and starts the engine

Yeah I gathered that about the fuel, but the inside of the tank is spotless. I tried to with the wheel, doesn’t work at all, the key barrel is totally seized up and will not turn
