  1. Not at the mo. Will look in to it when the battery is hooked up again.
  2. The 2nd E39 M5 i'm restoring has the DSP system, no nav. All speakers except the drivers woofer work fine. I removed the offending speaker and hooked it up to a battery and it works fine. The door harness wiring looks o.k to me, no kinks or damage to the wiring sheath. My guess is the DSP amplifier speaker channel for this woofer is kaput? Any other ideas?
  3. Mean! After fanging a 235i around Hampton I'm almost converted.
  4. 8mm drill bits? I also used an 8mm drill bit wrapped in electrical tape to lock the crank.
  5. No diy procedure on the net?
  6. Parts arrived. Forgot to order some extra critical bits though, so an extra 2 sets of vanos spring plates ordered. Vanos unit oil pump washer and circlips replaced with revision B versions. The new circlip retains more equal preasure on the washer beneath it. Have seen these end up in the oil pan.. You can see here how the pump drive has been squashing the washer and slowly eating away at it. New o-rings for the bank 1 vanos unit. The one under the 24mm socket in this pic doesn't seat nicely.. and ends up doing this if not seated correctly prior to instalment. This is the bank 2 vanos unit freshly removed : Installed the timing cover on bank 1 and removed bank 2. Not fun. bank 1 vanos unit back on. Timing set after and came out perfect after rotating the crank around for 3 cyl # 1 ignition TDC revolutions.
  7. Do you mean to enable TV on the move? If so I've done that using navcoder.
  8. Good work on the door and holy wow the L7 is pretty basic bsck there...
  9. The potato with a lens used to take those pics is not doing this car justice
  10. Dmitrios, can you provide the details on modifying the late model Video module for Free View? Keen to have a crack it.
  11. As per title after one in good nick. Thanks.
  12. That sucks! Looks like it needs a bit of panel beating work too.
  13. Painless dent removal? Style 32's look tits.
  14. Kicked out of home and on daily driver duties nowadays. The neglect might be undone with an eisenmann exhaust.
  15. Time for a bigger desk at this rate. Could've removed both vanos units and timing covers at the same time but didn't want to risk loosing/forgetting where I put parts in an already cluttered garage. Looks like someone put a 540i lower chain tensioner in. Although they fit and measure up the same, the M5 tensioner has more.. tension. Hopefully the new one comes in before next weekend. Previous owner fitted a new water pump and was very generous with the silicone sealant, spent a while cleaning it all off and from the thermo housing cover in the first pic. Nekk week the mail man should be delivering all the seals, sensors, tensioners, washers, bolts and Eisenmman race exhaust to put this one back on the road.
  16. You spelled BP wash n wax wrong
  17. Seeing one of these not in black or silver is a nice change. The M pars are a perfect match.
  18. Repco has 25% of oils that aren't on special already. Just stocked up on 10w60 @ $75/5 litres.
  19. Re enforcing the floor section where the rear subframe mounts to?
  20. Where's the pics? Also keen on having a listen to this setup.
  21. What about Audi Q7's i mean busted oil ships. They make a mess of the ocean.
