My mistake, it's the Bentley manual I was reading from.
Chapter 9, page 15 second diagram, Clutch pedal adjustment specifications.

Nothing to do with the cost Malcolm, more to do with the fact that I wanted the car back on the road Asap. Ordered 2 of the little feckers from the dealers, only to discover that they had supplied connectors for a LHD model, despite being given the correct part No. Anyway.... got master and slave in...

Plenty of info there.

So "have a spare one just in case" is a bit misleading then

Got it out, in one piece. Getting it back into the new master could be a pain.
Don't suppose there is any kind of lubricant I can use, is there?

just one more question, how do you disconnect part No 7 below
from the master cylinder,apart from very gently?

The weight's not the issue, it's the awkwardeness of the damn thing that's the problem.

The worst thing about an E30 convertible is trying to find a good rust free one. Especially in pre facelift, 325i flavours. As for a power roofs, BMW still seem to have issues right into the Z4 range so god knows what an E30 one is like. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j215/cypriotgeeza/what-he-s...

What size flared spanner(s) do I need for the above, also
for the removal of both master and slave cylinders?

Tia.

Any chance of sending me some details and photos, then
we'll see if my money wants to chat.

Tell me about it, Iv'e been looking for the best part of two years.

Is this on the Z mate?

An E60 530d is a far better choice, especially a Touring.

That was my alternative choice tbh.
Still like the looks of the 635 though, but then again I also
like red haired women.

120bhp trying to push 1700kgs is more of a fact than a myth. The m40 pulls well from low revs from what I know though.

Most things move pretty fast when leaving Northampton.

With the addition of 2 grandsons last year, I am now in the market for something larger and safer than my 316i touring. The 6 series 635d has really started to catch my eye lately. Are there any owners here that can give me some practical advice as to any pitfalls involved with owning one. Nor reall...

That's the one I was grasping for Imy.

Look very much like the ones I had in my old XR 3i.

Car in question is a 316i touring with manual gearbox. Haynes says to check level whilst car is on level ground, my problem is that without having the front end up on ramps there is no way I can even reach the filler plug to undo it, let alone getting the new oil container anywhere near enough to to...

I'm out of the UK for 2 weeks from May the 1st, I may have a complete BTB system for sale on my return.
Less than 1500 miles motoring to it's name.

Charge £1 to see history at every meet and make the 7000.

That would take approximately 3500 of Rav's organised
meets.

Wouldn't mind getting my paws on a full pacificblau interior myself.. O! and the green houndstooth :D I'll keep an eye out for you. I have a complete Green Houndstooth interior, the two door comfort variety and everything bar the drivers seat in Pinengrun in the four door version. How lucky am I. :)

No excuse for her actions....but somebody needs to have a word re the way people are parking there.

Delightful, but why oh why do sellers not go the
extra mile and replace the coolant bottles.

Well done Rav's, another addition to the Fleet.
