Michael. 2313 Report post Posted May 10, 2013 I have the same ramps as you by the looks. I welded some 500mm steel plates 1/3 way up to smooth the accent and reduce that nasty angle to avoid any scraping of the front bumper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted May 10, 2013 Whats wrong with the fuel guage? If its showing incorrect level, take out the cluster and sand the terminals on the back of the fuel gauge once its removed. Or replace it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pommy 33 Report post Posted May 11, 2013 Whats wrong with the fuel guage? If its showing incorrect level, take out the cluster and sand the terminals on the back of the fuel gauge once its removed. Or replace it. It's not working atall! I have taken it out sanded the nut and terminals changed the float. Still not working! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cab 148 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 Could be a fuse? Swap your hazard light fuse with your fuel gauge one (if it is the problem), or buy a new fuse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pommy 33 Report post Posted May 13, 2013 Thanks I have replaced all fuses! But will try the swap. Need to fix this cant keep guessing anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pommy 33 Report post Posted May 13, 2013 Oh yes. Is that the switch top right corner next to gear knob? I think it is that however have had all the console out! And cannot find the two spade bit connectors that plug into the switch? Any other ideas cheers guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tcbaurpower 5 Report post Posted May 13, 2013 Have you removed the drivers side dash panel under steering wheel. Was there a switch on the panel that you also removed? This is common in an e28 and when you unplug the switch all windows will stop working. Maybe a similar switch...? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pommy 33 Report post Posted May 14, 2013 The panel was off when I purchased the car! I cant see any dangling wires, only the headlight adjuster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1286 Report post Posted May 14, 2013 The panel was off when I purchased the car!

Cab 148 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 It could also be as simple as checking you havent accidentally pressed the window lock button if you're still keen I wouldnt mind coming to check this out next week some time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pommy 33 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 Thanks. There is no wire(spade conections to be seen anywhere have had the carpet up!) so cant connect to the switch! Yeah sounds good, just give us a text first! What day was you thinking? Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
