spotted: a booze bus blocking my driveway, and they won't move it "can you move forward a bit so I can get out please? I have an appointment at the vet for my cat" "we'll be done here soon" "um now please, I have an appointment" "you'll just have to wait" tempted to call a towie and tell him there's a truck blocking my driveway

hi, I have these from Pelican Parts: 82-19-9-403-093-M281 82-19-9-403-094-M281 were only on for a couple months before I replaced with smoked versions, no scratches or marks at all note they don't come with the bulb sockets $45 for the pair

while not exactly a chase (I guess it kind of is), I really enjoyed Le Mans

I've always had great service from Pelican Parts Detailed and constantly updated tracking, regular updates if there's delays with parts, and generally quick shipping, but shipping can be a bit costly on heavier items.

I believe MAF issues come from using too much oil on the filter. Could also happen if you run a K&N panel filter, which doesn't seem to have such a bad rep. I have been running a K&N cold air induction kit in my E36 for 3 years with no issue, but maybe my older beemer isn't as sensitive to the MAF issues as the newer models might be, or it's an issue waiting to happen and I've been lucky. The sound is choice, but I didn't notice any difference in power. The headshield provided with the kit is just ok; I am looking at getting some heat shielding material to wrap around it to make it more effective. Oh and the insurance company didn't like me putting that in my car, they tried increasing my premiums and heavily ramping up my excess for this "performance mod". I told them to shove it, and changed to another provider who had a good laugh when I told them.

I got a warning from a cop at a checkpoint one night for having my front fogs on. In my defence it was foggy at home (but not where the checkpoint was) and the bulb on the dash wasn't working to indicate the fogs were on, so I kinda forgot (fixed the bulb now). So some cops out there do pay attention to this stuff, but it's rather rare.

finally sorted was a lot easier with daylight, and a helper to hold the shoes in place left side was a lot easier and quicker really the only trick is to have both hands on the pliers and use a lot of muscle

I was using their book to guide me through it, but didn't think of checking their website "the long springs are easy with a zip tie around one end...just pull apart with one hand and use a plier to remove or replace the tip you just pulled free" genius, I'm going to try that no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get the spring down far enough to get back into the hole in the bottom shoe

Hi I got the old handbrake shoes off ok, but I can't get the new shoes on In particular I'm having real difficulty with the springs Any hints and tips to getting the buggers on? Cheers

Did you have any luck with this? I've gathered all the required pieces and tools to do this job, and have been reading a few guides on how to do it. They all say to just undo the bolts and move the unit aside, but I'm guessing it's not that easy?

sweet, will do cheers

Hi Car = 1996 E36 323i Coupe, Jap import The left brake light stopped working, so I pulled the bulb and it was rather brown. I replaced it with a new one ... but still not going. My first thought was the contacts on the little plastic unit you put the bulb into, gave them a going over with a wire brush, put the bulb back in, still not going. I then switched over the plastic unit with the working right hand side, and it goes on the right but not the left. So it's not the bulb, and it's not the contacts on the little platsic bulb holder .... I looked into the plastic housing where the bulb unit goes in, gave the contact in there a scrubbing with the wire brush ... still not going. All the other lights are fine, so I don't think it's a fuse ... what else should I look for? Cheers
