  1. $1500 car - thats a good deal I wouldn't fill it right up full with petrol if there is a smell that lasts and I would really get that checked out real soon. Get someone with BMW experience to check it out and get a scan done at the same time.
  2. Had a look for an amp - behind carpet left side of hatch right? No amp in there - I even put my glass's on just in case - wiring for cd changer in same place yes? I wired the adapter as per the Bentley service book and since then have not heard a peep out of the speakers in the doors - both rear and front kick panel speakers work tho. From what i can see from search's the amp is powered by the wire that also does the aerial booster thingy. (plain white wire) It bothers me when things dont work and I get a bit obsessed at times so to save the prozac pills and help me
  3. Put a new stereo in the compact a while ago and every thing goes except the tweeters in the doors. Didnt do a backyard job I used an adaptor from Repco (yes the right one) Tweeters worked with original radio but not now. Wiring diagram shows that the tweeters use the same wire out of the stereo as the front speakers but they just dont work. I am lost at what to do next and no I am not going to put the old stereo back in I like my cd's usb and MP3 player too much to go back to playing cassettes;) By the way it is a no name stereo I put in and yes I know it is probably crap but I dont have $1000 to spend on a good stereo when I had this one laying around. Gotta save up for that 328
  4. Now that went straight over the head didn't it

    Cold starting

    Jeez Brent I will be busy all day tomorrow looking at all that. Nah Don't blow smoke (oil) steam (white cloud) or black smoke (over fueling) Its only on start up if car has sat for a few hours. Starts a good as gold after first start with just a quick flick of the key, not even a full revolution of the motor its that quick. All I can think of its only been doing this just after it started leaking oil which is why I thought there might be a sensor the oil was leaking onto. Oil leak is not that bad in fact the level on the dip stick is still at the same level as it was when it had the last service. Guess I got a full day tomorrow. Time to find a 323 or 328 to burgle a motor from.
  8. You certainly know how to pick them Real nice

    Cold starting

    Thanks for the tips Silverfox = Brand new battery Brent = Never got hot or even looked like it Glenn = Booked in for a scan on Monday. will check the leaky places 320guy = Shouldn't have oil there because the plugs were changed a month ago by the garage but will check. I did mention it only happens first start of the day or when my baby has been sitting for over 6 hours. Had to reread my post - dammed Alzheimers

    Cold starting

    Gidday My little compact has decided it wants to misbehave in the mornings or when siting so it gets cold. Symptoms are, it takes more than one rev of the motor to start, now up to about 3 - 5 and when it does start it has a miss for about a minute or less unless you hold the revs up to 1000rpm then its a bit less time. Now I have noticed there is an oil leak down the back of the motor and over the crossmember, front of gearbox etc. Is there a sensor down there that could be getting oil on it and making the car a bit hard to start. And yes my M44 used to only need less that one revolution of the starter before it kicked into life. Have fitted new plugs a couple of weeks ago so should not be them.
  11. I want that white van in the background Its just soso
