Paul,

They are illuminated.

Cheers,

Can you give me a price for a pair of window switches for my 1989 325i

Thanks

If you could post some pics up would help - it will depend how deep the scratches are as to whether you can polish them out yourself or whether the bodyshop is the only way.

I've just received my second order...same great quality and a next day delivery too.
These are quality items, buy with confidence.
Cheers Atul!!

ATS - What size? Are you sure? No we have none. Kwik Fit - Nope Various other local outlets - Could get you some ordered (budget crap that is) All rather frustrating. Ideally want Uniroyal or Michelin premium stuff. Fat chance! Yeah, I had the same problem a couple of years ago when I was after Mic...

MPG = US Gallon
m/g = Imperial gallon

I think there is about 20% difference between the two IIRC

I recently swapped my 325i clocks for M3 ones and filled up and tested the petrol gauge...fell to zero twice as quick (as expected after researching on here)
So I swapped the petrol gauge from the 325i cluster, but retained the red needle and face. Now works fine. HTH

My OBC display seems to "pulse" - makes no difference whether lights on or off/all other dials work fine.

Is it my eyes?

Anybody throw any (more) light on this? (pun intended)

Atul: A switchable Auto Sport from WLN, same as mine!!
I can vouch for his sticker skills too, OEM look and a quick service.

I fitted Volts and oil pressure gauges in an ashtray-replacing pod...but wasn't happy with them there. So, I moved them and put back the ashtray, much better (for me anyway) http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/121/m3gauges002.jpg Anyway, one or two of you said Oil Temp would be the most useful, so fi...

I drive 5 miles to work and see 3 or 4 regularly...one house I drive past has 2 on the driveway!

So of the owner of the tidy 318is in Calypso is reading this - give us a wave you miserable old sod

Mine arrived next day - superb quality, will be back for more for sure.
Cheers Atul

It is worth soldering the 2 joints that hold the resistor in place for the brake warning light - I did mine yesterday after a cluster swap, the old and the replacement were both fooked :roll: ...And now working spot on. Do a quick search for the location of the dry joints - they are over by the temp...

It ain't changed a bit in all that time either

It can be TOAD away safely now....

Somehow managed to get a stone-chip on my front end. :x Unbelievable I know.. Anyway, painted/repaired that, while I was at it thought I would tidy up the front of the bonnet. Got to work with 2000 grit wet/dry paper, removed all scratches, marks etc. Then it's the PC with Megs DACP (2 passes) follo...

Here's mine, sad as I am for polishing every nut and bolt....

Managed to get hold of engine bay stickers from Cotswold, just finished it off nicely.

We need a big cull of kids, worldwide - up to a certain age (poll?) we should slay 'em all. Fill up the Isle of Wight, the rest get shot.
The ones on the Isle of Wight can be kept for chimney sweeping etc, and later on for breeding purposes...but only after the age of 16, I ain't no sicko bruv!!!

thanks lowey, just what i need. quick one, why only a mild chip? is this the best chip option? and is it doable myself? i'm the worst DIY'er ever so don't usually touch things that have the potential in not functioning after![/quote] Yep, easy job, get in touch with Maurice (Speedtouch) on here, he ...

I've had a speedtouch mild chip in my auto sport last year or so. Will make a difference, and adds a couple of MPG too. Definitely worth approx. £30, will pay for itself very quickly. As for the old Auto v manual debate, had mine now 4 years, love it to bits, just like driving a pint of Guinness :be...

I'm still here!

I got mine off Ebay, they come up from time to time. Try German Ebay also - Ebay.de

If the dealers still do them they will be very expensive. They do tidy up the sills.

As mentioned by idreambeemer, here is a pic of the Alpine 9880r. Apologies for the crap pic, but you get the general idea of the amber illumination. Alpine is the best unit I have ever tried, got the USB extension in the glove compartment too. And the big silvery knob doesn't look out of place eithe...

Here's a few of my shed:

When you have OCD for your E30, fetishes for shiny new things in bags when they appear on Ebay, a huge water bill and cleaning products for every day of the MONTH, just once a year it all seems worth it!

1. £1,100 for "kit off" all round, general repairs, paint etc. 2. Leather re-trim £750 3. Stainless exhaust £450 4. Various bills at Moseley Motorsport - £255, £359, £460 etc etc etc 5. 4x Michelin Pilot tyres £422 I feel queasy. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: (oh, and so much at Cotswold...

Cheers guys - all sorted. Followed all the advice, twas a bad connection from the wire to the actual switch on the car. 5 min job!!

Ground the wire to the pressure switch and see if the light comes on. If it doesnt, either the wire is broken somewhere along its length or the bulb is faulty. Before you remove the dash cluster, undo C101 and ground pin#5. If the light now comes on, you have a break in the wire from the pressure s...

I posted up last weekend my pics of my gauge install...Noticed today that the oil pressure light on the dash is non-existant. Doesn't come on with ignition, so can't go out when car started. All the other lights work OK. The new oil pressure VDO gauge works fine. I have used the search button, maybe...

Meguiars 'Speed Glaze' with the Meguiars yellow foam mop will remove all swirls and holograms. It's not cheap- but in my experience, (6yrs valeting, and counting..) it's failsafe, especially with a the.

Finally got round to fitting my VDO gauges. Fairly straight forward, but you need to eat lots of carrots before trying to thread wires through the bulkhead (or my eyes are getting worse). The biggest pain was the oil switch - what a p1sser! tight as a Jew in a Banking crisis. Anyway, all sorted, oil...
