kulgan 1042 Report post Posted July 10, 2016 Old BMW plastic. I've used the same method to remove the fan clutch from a 728i, 735i and a 740i. https://youtu.be/l5nfnXFwk-4?t=3m29s Not exactly kosher but it works a treat. Till today anyway. While the 728i, 735i and 740i all have metal fan belt pulleys it turns out that the top of the line V12 has plastic. WTF? So I broke it in half...lol 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allanw 1071 Report post Posted July 12, 2016 pics, or it didn't happen! There is some minor damage under the sill, done before the front wheel hit the rear pillar and stopped the car suddenly :-) Lucky it didn't stick up further... I swear our E39 is cursed - it's only done 150kms, and is rougher than the Mrs last car, a 95 Impreza we sold with 325kms on it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kulgan 1042 Report post Posted July 24, 2016 People who think they're helping but make things so much worse. I went to town to get a spark plug boot removal tool because the boots were being difficult to get off and I didn't want to break the wires on the V12 cause they're expencive. While I was gone someone thought they'd have a try and pulled a wire out of the boot. Then tried to pull the boot off with a pair of needle nosed pliers and ripped the boot in half. Then had another go and broke the top off the spark plug. &^%$&**^ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted July 24, 2016 No BMW work today (Miss M had a driving lesson, though). Trying to trace a misfire on the 500SE. Checking resistance on plug leads (a new set wouldn't hurt, but on a Sunday afternoon?) showed a couple to be a bit out. However, removing the plug lead from number 6 proved problematic. Not quite as bad as Dave's issues (above) but it turned out the plug and the lead had corroded together. Not sure how that happened, but it can't be helping. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted July 30, 2016 Feckin' eejit drivers doing 85-90km/h in the outside lane of a dual carriageway with nothing inside them. Not that they'd catch it anyway... And doing it while eating an ice cream! And the police traffic cop who passed her on the inside, didn't bat an eyelid, and pulled someone (not me!) over for doing just under 110km/h... Priorities. Wrong. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exact same thing happened to me yesterday. Bloody Skyline drivers. Let two cars and a lorry in after that, though. Obviously a case of badge envy.
