tire 10 Report post Posted February 11, 2012 Does anyone have any spare long torx bellhousing bolts? I need the 2 that go through the holes on either side of the gearbox that have the locating spigot, preferably tonight or tomorrow. Width is m10, and I need something about 85mm long. The 76mm ones I have do not go far enough through the thicker G260 bellhousing. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would need alternator make (Valeo, Bosch), part number and amp output to get correct part you want. Thats if the parts are available. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats if the parts are available.Thanks Glenn will just have to wait till next week and get it out of the car and find out what type and part numbers/amp output is etc.Just hope you N.Z guys have a regulator for it as buying a total second hand unit(gamble) over here is a rip off.And most auto sparky's charge a arm for a rebuild and don't want to just replace the brushes.

Allanw 1072 Report post Posted February 29, 2012 E39 central locking... I tried Google but didn't get a definate answer! Should I be able to lock/unlock my entire E39 525i (facelift) from the boot lock??? I can't, and I want to! Dads E30 does it. Is it able to be coded or something???

antil33t 90 Report post Posted February 29, 2012 I can unlock but not lock my E34 from the boot. Right is Unlock car, Left unlocks the hatch. Usually you'd open it with the button in the middle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tcbaurpower 5 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 Hi Guys, Quick question, Glenn you might be best for this one, you told me once to use the sealant for the sumps. And it is great no leaks. Can i use that for the rocker cover as well? or is the standard gasket the only way to go? And a general question, the key barrel in my steering column was damaged and now it is totally not working. Can these be fixed? Regards, Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Dont use sealant on the rocker cover. Use a new gasket and new 1/2 moon seals. Make sure all surfaces are really clean. Check with your local Automotive Locksmith. You might have to get a second hand one and get it recoded to your existing key Edited March 9, 2012 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted March 10, 2012 QQ, are E34 and E30 outer headlights (smileys) the same part? obviously bracket is different, but the one on my e30 flops about like a cock in a sock, would probably fail its warrent when it goes for it. I only have E34 spares in the shed, dont want to pull it apart to find out they are different if they are! cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevinator9 57 Report post Posted March 15, 2012 A question on Oil Filters. I have just changed the oil filter on my M10 and the old filter is much taller than the new one the dealer sold me to replace it. The new one is on all good and well but will it cause any problems? The old one is labeled as an M20 Oil Filter on my old service sheet and the new one I have is labeled as an M10 Oil Filter from the dealer parts sheet.

MLM 57 Report post Posted March 27, 2012 For those with boot maounted batteries in a E36 (should be nigh on everyone) Is there a circuit breaker or fuse to protect from short circuit? If so what is it rated at? If not does anyone know the peak current drawn (assume this at starting) for a m42 engined car? I intend to boot mount my battery but want to ensure its protected in some way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVILRE30 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2012 Just a few quick question been thinking about maybe converting my auto E36 M43 to a 5speed Manual.The thing is does it matter what 5speed gearbox i use like long as it was fitted to the same model E36 and engine? or?The other thing is i was going to convert the engine a bit further down the track to a 6 cylinder would the gearbox adapt to the 6 cylinder engine.Also any recommendations in better options such as what gearbox/clutch etc to use would be really appreciated.
