    I urgently needed the heater pipe from the head to the water valves in my E36, I rang everywhere down here and then tried Jeff Gray BMW in palmy, they said $77 excluding swindle tax and postage....I decided to fire up the computer and ring HellBM, very helpful! $30 including postage! Absolutely brilliant cheers Ray.

    My E36 has the 704 body and suspension option. But it only has an M spoiler [don't think the skrts are M] It is certainly M in the suspension department.

    The reason for the lack of sexy M kit on her is I have found some accident repair [Me being a super fussy panel beater, nobody else sees the paint differences]

    The suspension makes a difference in comparison to my brothers old e36 325i sedan [whale]

    Boston green is good. Two doors also. I'm quite liking this 320i! It has 164 KM on the clock, auto sadly, btu, couldn't go past the deal. Has a couple of minor niggles...loosing coolant being one of them.

    Looks extremely pretty after several hours of polishing!

    I have just aquired an e36 320i/a2 in boston green with 164km.

    Please somebody help with the build codes,

    0240, 0243, 0423, 0428, 0481, 0530, 0530, 0542, 0686, 0687, 0704, 0618, 0900, 0925.

    Or a link [that I cannot find] to the list of option codes.

    I also think it has a ZF box in it, box number is A5S-310Z

    I will post pics of the sexy new beasty when I have given it a insane clean.

    The water level light will be the level sensor in the bottom of the expansion tank if its coming on when the tank is full.

    Have you tried determining exactly where the noise is coming from ? You sure its not the exhaust just cooling down...or is it coming from under the bonnet ?

    Thanks Glenn.

    It was an air lock in the heater. I was having a severe brain fart not too realise what it was :unsure:

    My older brother has an E36 320i/A2 that has me a wee bit stumped. When it I took it for a nice wee drive [was considering buying it from him] then parked it up again it was making nice "gloop gloop" sounds when turned off after being at operating temp [needle never fluctuated]

    Sounded as though it was pulling air through the overflow if that makes sense?

    He has informed me it takes a wee bit off water every now and then, but, in his ownership has never over heated. Also the coolant level warning comes on when the reservoir has plenty of water in it.

    Is this to be a worry? I was thinking perhaps it had an air lock somewhere? But I would then expect it to overheat.

    I'd like to know why it does this, as, the Jatco jerk is a big enough put off as it is.
