  1. is it running on 6 or 12 cylinders?
  2. a cam sensor fault does not necessarily mean its the sensor it self, otherwise why would BMW put it there if its only reason is to fail. The sensor actually does something, the faullt code is just a bread crumb along a path
  3. Thanks for that Ron. Zero/Nathan, when you say inner gaurd, do you mean on the inboard side of the car eg the wheel tubs, or do you mean the outboard side of the wheel, eg inside of the fender? i assume its the former, but would have thought it would hit the shock well before it hit the body
  4. Price or GTFO cheers, fellow mod.
  5. I rarely freeze meat, it wrecks it I also rarely eat at home but for some reason buy meat every time at the supermarket Thus, I have eaten chicken a week past usebuy, Red meat lasts even longer one hour out the fridge is perfectly fine. Ask your grand mother (or great grandmother depending how old you are)
  6. Mine were near as makes no difference 150mm either side of the CSB. Having said that, everyones opinions on the law varies, and at the end of the day, there is only one person you need to satisfy and thats your certifier, so give him a call and ask him what hes expecting. Much cheaper to call him now, get them placed correctly first time, than rely on a forum of different opinion/experience and end up with an extra 4 or 8 holes in your floor. Your cert guy does not charge for the phone calls you give him during the process, and if anything will probably warm him to you for making sure you are getting it right first time, makes it cleaner sailing come time for the actual inspection. $0.02
  7. didnt know there was a difference in belt teeth!
  8. needs factory grill and bonnet mounted badge else why own a Merc imo lol. at least it comes with it!! GLWS
  9. i know someone that will probably put it into 4 figures, as with anything, worth varying amounts to varying people
  10. import E30 iX from the states Plate and tag it using your current car Done.
  11. The sheep skin ones would really class up a 2014 Merc lol
  12. Tyre shine for short term solution, other wise talk to Sam at Obsessive Car Detailling, i cant remember the name of the product bet its the one to get
  13. Thanks mate, clean sailing thus far, no real surprises... surprising for an 87 year old house
  14. yes back of the car just forward of rear wheel, both simple enough to do after the swap, though highly recommend replacing the fuel filter at the same time
  15. dont know why people always say BMWs are a bitch to bleed. I have done dozens of coolant changes on all manner of engines and bodys, never had a problem. heater on, bleed screw open and fill her up. i most likely have a brown top sensor here you can try, or get one off Elijah his M30 should be the same sensor from memory although his engine got a little toasty at some point too, but thats another fault. only a 10 minute tear down to check the timing on a facelift engine, havent done it on a prefacelift but cant imagine there is much more if any more to doing it. Id love to say come round and we'll spend an afternoon on it but im flat out at the moment on my own cars and also renoing the house too.
  16. not bad, might have to try that as an upgrade for an E30 some time
  17. you have checked the temperature sender itself is in spec right? how about the gauge?
  18. needs colour matched bumpers!
  19. might as well swap the 540 calipers and rotors on too
  20. anythings fixable i saw one for sale that needed a bit of a birthday.
