    Its a brilliant machine for turning petrol into noise and smiles

    Welder and grinder? That just needs a wash!

    I thought empty was just the natural state for the fuel gauge in these!

    Lots of room in the boot! Taking an 850i to SCA wouldn't exactly be a tough ask either!!

    No more difficult than pumping up a bike tire, just a LOT more volume, and most bike tires run at about 60 psi so youre talking about half the pressure, let us know how you get on...

    Good luck!

    Yeah, i will miss it when it is sold but cant justify keeping it and the m5, and the e36, and the e21.

    Rear main seal has been done since i got the car, might do the shift link while im under there, i have a factory short shift but am saving that for the e36.

    Of course you could inflate a car tire with a bicycle pump, it would take days but it could be done!

    Some progress, have aquired / made / borrowed the special tools required... Torx T60 bit, has to be modified slightly. Alignment tool, thanks Martin. Home made flywheel lock. Bolted on... Old flywheel off...

    If only i had access to a potential mechanic, all the nephews are a bit too young yet. Flywheel was $1731.45 +gst Clutch kit $450.59 + Pilot bearing $37.04 + Clutch bolts $10.61 + All up $2564.10 from Jerry Clayton BMW.

    HAH, i have to move 3 cars to even get near it!
  13. aja540i
    Well done, good to see one that isnt black, white or silver!

    Picked these up last night, need to get a few special tools and will then be chucking it all in the wagon. Will try to take some photos to throw in here as well. Using the Bentley manual to guide me along but feel free to share any tips or tricks you know of...

    So from what i can see its $75 for the app and $10 - $20 every time you use it, starts to add up pretty quickly, i have torque pro on my tablet which is fine for reading fault codes but doesnt do much else.

    Could be a faulty ignition switch, all sorts of weird stuff happens when they start to die.
  17. aja540i
    Picked up flywheel and clutch kit, now i just need to track down a clutch alignment tool and get back under the car....

    Mmm 7.2 mpg. Nice.

    Pulled out the damaged side vent and put in a new one, also repaired the damaged inner guard, no more scraping at full lock!

    Looks like the inside of that hose is perished quite badly, they do that with age, unfortunately the others in your cooling system the same age might not be far behind, good time to do some preventative maintenance!
  21. aja540i
    Result!

    Supply vacuum to open the valve for the secondary air pump, which pumps extra air through the exhaust on start up to warm the cats up faster, would affect idle if they were the cause of a vacuum leak. Pretty easy to replace as a precaution.

    Did they tell you when you first collected the car that they were unable to balance the wheel?
  24. aja540i
    Once the clutch is done and a few tidy up bits and pieces she will be up for grabs. Will be on here first.
  25. aja540i
    Close, you need to count how many rotations of the driveshaft it takes to turn the wheel one complete rotation.
