Paid for the wheels monday night and they were here today (thursday). Very helpfull, great communication and a pleasure to do business with. Thanks!!

If I aint workin away I'll try and get there too. Would be cool to see a few other motors!

Why the hell didn't I spot this thread earlier!!!!!!!

Funnily enough i've got a photo shoot lined up for my e28 for charity if u know what i mean

Will try n get the pics on here

I'd be up for a meet too..... can travel into b'ham area without too much greif

Just north of the midlands in sunny staffordshire

Mine was in the same state when I bought it, although it didn't really show until you got closer being white. But I know its bloody hard work doing all that polishing, very satisfying though

:o right I just assumed it was a standard fitting..... haven't got a clue what the motor is fixed to but its stuck in there solid. It was working when I bought the car and was working for the 4 years that the previous owner had it. I've also tested the wiring by plugging the new motor in and it work...

The motor inside the door looks genuine... exactly the same as the new one i bought. I would have thought it would have central locking as standard?

Already got one thanks

Been scrathing my head for ages tryin to get it in too!!!

Right..... with it now. Looks like bodgit and scarper ltd have had their hands on it

Are these 2 lil screws supposed to be on the outside of the door or do I need to reach inside? There's nothing easily accessable inside and nothing at all outside

The 2 10mm bolts seem to hold in part of the catch/handle mechanism. Cant figure out what holds in the motor but its stuck solid!!! Probably held in with no nails or something knowin my luck

Its the locking motor that I need to replace.... its directly behind where the 2 slotted holes are.

Here goes first ever attempt at posting a pic!!!.....

nope its just a standard 1990 H reg 318i 4 door..... I've taken a pic of the section of the door with the door card removed which I'll try and put up later.

Just been for another look and there's nothing easily accessable that holds the motor in. I can feel 2 screws that hold it in but they're right round the back by the window mechanism

Never mind I think I can live without it i'll just have to buy a 2 door

Hmmmmmm........ looks like the door trim is coming off again!! I must be completely blind!!

Thanks for the help

Getting at the motor itself? I can see it but cant see any way of getting at the screws that hold it in. Do I maybe need to remove the door catch assembly to gain access??

*Heads down to Halfrauds for an impact driver if thats the case*

Can anyone give me any tips on replacing the central locking actuator on the back door of a 4 door? Started the job myself by removing the door card..... then looked at where the motor was and put the door card back. Mr Haynes was no help at all, maybe someone here has done the job before?? Any advi...

Got mine too.... cheers mate!!

Hi there!

Just sent a payment for one of your lovely stickers!

Thanks

Thanks for the help so far guys, going to go for a new one I think (Thanks anyway Dave), under Ã‚£50 sounds great but where from and what sort of quality are they?

Hi everyone!

I've just been told I need to find a new cam for my 318i, with all the followers. So far it isn't looking cheap, so can anyone offer any advice where I might find a kit?
