tire 10 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 If I remove the centre muffler and replace it with straight pipes (while keeping the stock back muffler), will it be too loud? m20b25 e30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 Probably... depends on the condition of the rear muffler. I would suggest fitting a couple of Coby Bullet mufflers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted 45 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 My fuel guage light went out so i took the cluster out and replaced the bulb, which hasn't worked. Have tried three bulbs to no avail. all bulbs in good condition before and after installation. No other dash issues/light problems or dead pixels. everything else works as it should. 1994 E34. Possible cause? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possible cause? Possibly a cracked or burnt out circuit on the board. Do you have an LED test light? and do you know how to check for an earth & a power feed ??

If the alternator wont charge...then change it... but first the problem needs to be diagnosed first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
