    Could be a faulty ignition switch, all sorts of weird stuff happens when they start to die.

    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!

    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?

    Once the clutch is done and a few tidy up bits and pieces she will be up for grabs. Will be on here first.

    Close, you need to count how many rotations of the driveshaft it takes to turn the wheel one complete rotation.

    Regardless of the asking price if you are selling a car of that age, people want to see what sort of condition its in, and if you dont put up decent photos most will assume the worst and not bother to follow it up. A photo of an old photo of a car is pretty much a waste of time on a trade me auction. My 2 cents.

    I know where there is a 540 wagon if you want an m5 touring project!!

    Ordered just over 2k worth of flywheel and clutch kit for the e39, will be nice for the new owner!!
  17. aja540i

  18. aja540i
    That would be epic, right up until i scythed my own foot off!

    Why not just weld up the nut that is already on there?

    ...4 stroke line trimmer, best thing ever! Pi$$es all over any other line trimmer ive owned, more powerful, easier to start, quieter, no smoke, and added bonus, it sounds like a tiny motorbike! (A good one, not a p.o.s. harley) Highly recommended.

    Yes, dm flywheels are a wear item and need replacing regularly, and a second hand clutch would be a waste of time, both are available new.

    You're on the money price wise for the conversion, worth doing if you are keeping the car for a bit, pretty sure ths engine can stay in for the conversion, make sure whoever does it is up to speed with the coding or you will have issues. Good luck.

    14, i am embarrased that i knew some of those

    Assuming the level is ok is a bit naive, these boxes are quite sensitive to oil level, needs to be bang on, i wouldn't rely on the fact that it was done a little while back . Also, do these boxes have an oil cooler? blocked oil coolers are a common issue with the v8 boxes, has yours been cleaned?(if it has one)
