Pretty much the same as mine, then. Therefore the rear beam squab assembly date will be near enough to the final build date for most of our early FL2s.

I can't be sure about the later versions.

Not an i6 but for comparison.

So three working days difference, seems to confirm the trend - so far!

I was out doing some light maintenance on the i6 this morning. I pulled the engine cover and discovered the parts label inside, indicating 14 Feb 07. Ties in with the other dates I have (see above).

At this rate I shall be able to date when all the parts were bought together on the assembly line! One way of checking the car is original, I suppose.

On another matter, I removed the bottom section of the air cleaner housing, as I was concerned about it seeming loose. The very bottom push/pull fitting lacked the two small lugs around the side of the end of the fitting, leaving it free to ride up and down somewhat. It was clear that there had never been any lugs there in the first place. Does this chime with what others have found?

Although I have now refitted it all, I wonder about just popping a self tapping screw in down there to help keep it in place.
