    E34 Touring 550i

    I think it is on Bimmerforums (or similar). There's highlights on here but that's all I've found in the past.

    E34 Touring 550i

    This was an awesome build back when it was completed. Great to hear the new owner will sort it (again).
  3. Same place on a Touring (although I've not had cause to change it).
  4. Fingers crossed.
  5. Flushed the coolant on the Mercedes 190E... Then found I have a electrical 'leak' somewhere as the otherwise brand new Bosch battery was as flat as a very flat thing. No idea at the moment if a light was left on, or if it is a bad earth somewhere. Let this be a lesson to everyone. Use your cars - don't leave them int he garage getting dusty!
  6. Sooo close... I have a chip for a M20B20... <sigh>
  7. Valeo. I've read in several places that they're good. There's a thread here: https://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=958649
  8. @qube has rims and tyres for sale... I've not looked at the posts because I suspect I'd want to buy them! And I don't need more rims. No... No, I don't.

    Quick rant thread.

    I don't debate the 'built not bought' thing. Each to their own... But today I saw someone saying they'd drive to meet anyone who could help them change their wheels.
  10. Just some garage tidying. And got the 190E running for the first time in far too long. Started 2nd turn... But needs the cooling system flushing. And had a visit from a very nice gent from darn sarf, with his 330Ci.
  11. The 3.0 H6 Outback is a great car. Massively overpriced when compared with a Legacy wagon, though.
  12. Let me see... Changed engine oil and filter on car 1. Removed LED tail lights and replaced with stock 10W bulbs - fixes 'Check' 'Brake Lights' issue. Fixed high level brake light. Replaced fuel filter to see if it sorts sluggish acceleration - not tested yet, but all sorts of yuck came out of the filter. Changed engine oil and filter on car 2. Fixed ABS / Speed sensor issue on same car. (Actually - I'm not sure how I fixed this. It was there, I jacked it up, and now it's gone. ) Changed engine oil and filter on car 3. Tomorrow I see if Repco in Hamilton still have an oil disposal bin...
  13. Ours does, too. I'm a fan. Of both the Str.Ts, and the Yellows. I prefer them to Bilstein B8s.
  14. Brand new WoF, months of rego, near new tyres, excellent interior, running faultlessly. Driving so well I'm actually questioning the sanity of selling... C'mon. Someone must need a reliable and cheap runaround!
  15. Pull it apart, or (a la E46) remove it completely because it is impossible to sort with the dash in situ?
  16. Had the LCA rear bushes replaced, and WoF'd the 318i. See here.

    Quick Questions

    Given the ABS and traction control lights are illuminated, is it more likely that the issue is with an ABS sensor on the rear (driven) axle?
  18. Not yet... This was the culmination of yesterday's efforts, and almost dark when I finished. And I'm at work today.
  19. Changed the wheels on Miss M's 318Ti. And now the ABS and traction control lights shine brightly on the dash. I suppose it proves those bulbs work... I must have knocked an ABS sensor when sorting the wheels, unless anyone can think of anything else that it could be?
  20. ... And - they've just driven at 277.9mph on a (closed) public road - a 11 mile stretch of interstate in the US was closed for the run(s). That's an average speed - highest officially recorded speed was 284.7mph. That followed an earlier unofficial 291mph... On a public road. 300mph is so close, yet still so far away.
  21. He and his team did a great job on the back of our E36.
  22. Greenlane Panel Beaters - ask for Raj. Tell him Graham form Counties Health suggested you call.
  23. You're right. Nothing to do with a 335i!
  24. Dunedin, baby! OK... Not all that informative but with luck, more news soon.
