Phatputer 3 Report post Posted November 2, 2010 Last few days: Gearbox lug removal tool made Gearbox oil drained and replaced Steering wheel swapped on coupe Today: decided I should resolve why my electric windows weren't working unless the car was on and the door open. Checked fuses, there we go, 30a fuse blown, replace.. blown again straight away. YAY a dead short to find. Eventually found the culprit, turns out that paperclip I discarded a while back in the center console a while back had slipped under the small gap between the ashtray and the odds and ends tray and had shorted out the ciggy lighter. Removed, swore and replaced fuse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2312 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 Yeah it would the best, I should really learn to weld and keep practicing, would have an ideal skill base then to do whatever. Since I can't, and don't have the gear, I've been passing on the parts to get welded through a guy I know, it's annoying but he does tidy welds and at a good cost. Slows things down though.......

Phatputer 3 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 Took the 4 door manual into the transmission specialist fellas, got them to give it a quick test drive and confirm the gearbox issues. Dropping it back next week so they can suck a whole lot of money out of me to fix it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted 45 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 Fixed the fabled dip beam, brake light and license plate light warnings on the 540. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2312 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 license plate light warnings on the 540. Hmmm the old LIC plate light message. Mine used to do that all the time. So annoying, how did you fix it in the end? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted 45 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 Hmmm the old LIC plate light message. Mine used to do that all the time. So annoying, how did you fix it in the end? Points of failure seem to be the loom at the L/R boot hinge, LKM, and headlight adjustment motors. (adjustment motors might be related to LKM? not sure) Unplugging the motors on both my E34's have fixed all warnings and bing bongs Might get some replacements at some stage, but isnt a priority.
