Mr2low 57 Report post Posted October 12, 2013 Remembered how much i hated torx bolts. One on the pcv was seized in place, had to cut the pcv off then with lots of hammering and swearing and a pair of mole grips managed to get it out. Fair to say wont be using that bolt again, that was the reason i had to pull the intake manifold off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twisted 45 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 Shadow lined kidneys, de-condensated headlight, polished both headlights, got heated seats working, and fixed poor throttle response by cleaning throttle body. Also seems to have improved low rpm torque. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 705 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Any pics Nick? will update this post with some - but it just looks 'stock' - matte black, slightly textured finish. (One of my mirrors was not body colour painted which is why I did them both). It is actually pretty easy to get a great finish. 2 tips; 1) keep the can warm (in hot water bath) 2) 5 or 6 light coats, wait 5-10 min in between to dry. Edit pics - sorry, it's hard to see much and was raining... Edited October 23, 2013 by Nick G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit pics - sorry, it's hard to see much and was raining... Looks good mate! I'll prob pull off all my trim and hit it with either plasti dip or some flat black.. Tried pulling out my driver side rear quarter trim and broke the very first clip. Might need to stock up on them first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twisted 45 Report post Posted October 28, 2013 What was involved in fixing this? Disassembly of the cluster and replacement ribbon cable/lcd unit. Would be reasonably simple if I had an extra pair of arms, and if 16 year old plastic wasn't prone to disintegration Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
