Just curious as it may help someone else if they are searching the internet for solutions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0ghost0 2 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Looking great are you waiting on new tyres for the rear or just the rain to stop. What were the teething problems? Just curious as it may help someone else if they are searching the internet for solutions. Just waited for the rain to ease, the rears are on now, looks alright, but as said, really needs a bit more of a drop.Teething problems: fig 8 here:http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=1011&mospid=47252&btnr=11_0681&hg=11&fg=35 sensor on "TEMPERATURE SENDING UNIT/WARNING CONTACT" seems to have had a dodgey connection, resulted in NO idle at all. throttle body was all gunked up, resulting in just a nasty idle again. advance and retard vaccum hose that connects dizzy to throttle body gunked up, resulted in slow revs, no engine braking. and its still running pretty rich seems to be running on cold start mode, Any ideas? The paintwork looks incredibly tidy, has it had a respray? Sure has, stock colour but with a metalic finish on it, painting A-B pillars black within next month.
