Hi,

I'm looking for a new or used but in good condition expansion tank for my 96 323i. Please PM me if you have one available and how much you want for it.

Cheers,

Andrew

I've got a pair of amber ones you can have for $15.

Has it got a decent sunroof panel by any chance?

I've bought mine off milland on trademe and woudl recommend him.

Sorry to hi-jack, but if anyones got a grey one in Auckland - please let me know

I'm arranging for a mate in the tron to pick them up - will let you know in a couple of days if I'm not able to get them.

Thanks!

I'm keen on the seats. Where in hamilton are you? PM me please.

Thanks

I'm keen on the corner lights if they're not sold already.

From first hand experience and comparative tests I've done, there is very little difference between the 5W and 10W. The main problem is not the power of the LED itself, but rather the design of the bulbs.

The LEDs are wide beam, and hence only a very small portion of the light actually goes into the fibre optics. The best design uses the brightest LED combined with a chrome parabolic reflector to focus the light - the end result is much brighter halo..

If you're interested, I can email you an image illustrating the difference and where you can get these...

Have you got the diamond shaped key or the infra-red key? I might be able to help.

I'm keen for them - I've PM'd you my number.

Very interesting!

How much did it cost for postage? Did you feel any performance / efficiency improvements after the clean?

The bulb shown is not H7. It looks likely to be a 9006 (also known as HB4), I assume this came out of your fog light?

Theres a couple of pins you can short out to test whether the start motor is functioning on the OBD port (can't remember off the top of my head which ones).

But chances are, the contact brushes have worn out.

If you've got some basic skills, I'd recommend getting some brushes (I got mine from BNT) and soldering them in - cost me $15 when I did it last year.

Thanks. At this stage I'm hoping it's just the relay otherwise time to look for a starter motor

Hi guys,

I've got a problem with my E36 windscreen wipers stuck on "stopped car" mode. So this means that my wipers always have a very long delay except for when its set to lighting speed.

I've tried swapping the wiper module with one which I know works properly, but it didn't help.

I'm now thinking maybe its missing the vehicle speed signal. Would anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Awesome - thanks.

You have PM.

You have an e46? Don't know what use you would have for it? The headlight is pretty shattered at the back, it's mostly hanging together by a thread... But come pick it up if you want, im in auckland.

If you're going to through the light out, I'd be keen to take it off you!

Happy to pay to have it posted to my place if you don't mind

Here are the un-salvageable parts.. I guess i'll drop the panel to a metal recycler & the headlight to the land fill.

Hello,

I'm currently in the process of cleaning up the mating surface on my M20B25 aluminium cylinder head and was wondering how clean does it need to be?

I've carefully gone over it with a razor blade and scraped off all the old gasket material that I could. However, there are still black areas around the coolant channels which I'm having trouble cleaning up completely. At the moment it feels smooth to touch.

Would it be necessary to get the head surface completely spotless? If so, how would you recommend doing so? (Without skimming the head - mine is straight, and I would prefer to keep the factory compression ratio)

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Andrew

Thanks

Theres a small hair line between the combustion chamber and the coolant channel in cylinders 3 and 5.

Can send you a couple of pic's if you're interested.

It actually drove fine before I took it out, just a small amount of coolant and oil mixing.

Where is it cracked? What is the cam and valves like etc?

I've got one with couple of small cracks if you're interested...

Interested in the cylinder head if its in good condition.
