Just booked my Sport and my mums little VW Polo automatic..

Hi Steve,

I am going to be there on the "Show and Shine" event

Good shots my friend. Cabby looking good.
Not sure if I can make the event 31st May, hope it goes well!

Great car Mandeep

Thats all that needs to be said, full stop!

Crack open the champagne

My touring has just ticked over the 100k mark. The Sport is still young at 79k!

No can do boys......next one maybe

Had a similar problem on my Sport once. I just "fabricated" a bracket and tied it on with wire. Not recommended, 'cos Mr MOT man won't be happy lol

Just get replacement bracket from BMW.

I didn't mate, lol. My Polish friend took it on his professional SLR camera.

Looks wicked

Brilliant show, well worth the 200 mile trip for me! http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb318/ritz1981/DSC_0081.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb318/ritz1981/DSC_0010.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb318/ritz1981/DSC_0087.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb318/ritz1981/DSC_0085...

Splendid work Mr Lowe

I was thinking the rad could be at fault indeed. I've managed to eliminate all other parts and issues!

Thanks Brian

I'm going to be there. The main display is organised by the BMW Car Club GB, my car will be on it as well as some other Zoners.

Space might be tight, all I know is the main display is fully booked.

Finally cured the overheating issue and the needle doesn't go past halfway mark. The middle of the radiator still stays cold however, the top and bottom areas, and around the rad hoses are warm. Fan coupling isn't kicking in due to the middle of the rad being cold. Do I ignore this or does it requir...

Seriously great work there Trevor and Co....THUMBS UP! Looking for to seeing yourself and B7 TMW at Gaydon.

...and a Happy Birthday Trevor

Lovely car and detailing work. Keep it standard

Eh! That's the drain tap!!

I'm starting from scratch tomorrow morning. I think I'm loosing it!

Drain all coolant again, refill again and see what happens.

My uncle. 1989 F reg 318i saloon 4 door. Not that special but it was when I got inside.

Angled dashboard, arcade-style accelerator pedal, the whole "Ultimate Driving Machine" slogans in the 80's......joined the BMW car club when a little older, read the mags...and the rest is history.

What procedure are you using to fill and bleed the system? Possibly the rad isn't getting hot because there's no water in there? You need to remove the bleed screw in the rad completely and keep filling until water comes out the hole and the bubbles stop. Bled by removing rad bleed screw at bottom ...

Put the fan belt back on. Tight.

Worked a treat Brian, thank you Sir!

Right, managed to get the pulley nuts off and eventually the old water pump. Fitted newer water pump, refilled the coolant and put everything back together, still overheating, needle getting into the red zone now... Is there an air lock? I did undo the bleed screw at the top of the rad for a while b...

Its got that "Mad Max" look to it I think.....

Hi All, a. Its coming from the centre of the car (I think). c. Not the engine stills revs ok d. Car still drives, accelerates as normal except noisily e. constant rattle when driving g.

summary: water pump is dead If you've got a new pump, a quick thwack with a hammer on the spanner gets those water pump bolts off quite effectively....but use that as a last resort because you could shear a bolt... I have a good second hand water pump, just a matter of getting those nuts off now. T...

Put the fan belt back on. Tight. Might try that. But I even put two spanners in, one holding one nut, the other trying to undo nut opposite? Everything is back in place, I will need to dismantle again. Trouble is I need the car next couple of days. Am I risking a lot by driving it more until I get ...

Ok. Replaced the thermostat this morning (thanks to Chris W for the part!). Had trouble getting the water pump pulley off, damn nuts too tight! I could not get any force to undo them at all, any tips? At this point I tried refilling coolant and starting it up. Let it run, thermostat opens properly b...
