The problem.... http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll16/Jesus325i/109_7016.jpg Virtually the same as the one I was involved in. Only that had blown out the exhaust side, confusing the owner into thinking it was the manifold gasket. It had also blown a clear path between the bores. Is this getting b...

No its been good as gold since that incident, it hasn't covered many miles (but has been used a lot) as it only goes out Sundays to tear up the British conuntryside, but it is usually slow driving with very little airflow so the cooling system has to do all the cooling (as opposed to lots of throug...

Ah. Apologies, bad move to log in after an age and go straight to the last page! So it's got pretty hot but hasn't over heated again? How many miles has it covered after this event? A steel straight edge across the block with some feeler gauges, see what you find. Same on the heads. I still say it's...

From what I learnt and was told from way back? This has not overheated (unless I've missed something in the thread) and therefore, as long as the correct loosening sequence has been followed, it's doubtful the heads are that far out. Skimming is only a matter of course to ensure things are as good a...

JEEEEEEZUS!!!!!!. How you doing? Just seen this, not logged in for many moons. I did a head job on a 2001 Y 4.6 P38 a couple of years ago. It had 190k up and was puffing out the manifold side of the head gasket on the right hand bank. On removal, it had also burnt a path from the front cylinder to t...

I had Avons on my last e39. Ditchfinder's that were ditched very quickly in favour of Kuhmos. Which transformed the car. On my experience, I pass on any Avons when I'm now searching for tyres.

Brians right. It'll be a worn damper or the top mount has given up. Unfortunately, BMW's sport suspension settings hate speed humps, pot holes and the general shite state of UK roads. All of mine that have had sport suspension have needed comprehensive work due to where I live and Surrey councils re...

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGG MY EYES!!!!!!

I remember an nigh on identical car with 80k going through the scrappage scheme via a poxy Shitreon dealer in Crawley. I then saw it on the bottom of the pile in Bridges Breakers in Pease Pottage. Fucking criminal........

You going this year phil? I'm checking dates. It was a good do.

Holy drag an old thread up batman! a˜€

Remove the black oval access cover in the rear door edge. Through that you'll see a gold tab (thats the end of the slider securing the handle in place) with a small hole in end. You need to tap that slider forward to release the outer handle. Refixing the new one is easier with the door panel remove...

Are you sure this is not condensation or when it's damp out? I get this out the e60 on occasions and it's normally when its damp and it's just steam coming off the outside of the rad.

And where's labour?????

Carry on Corbyn, you mug!

There is no way anyone can advised truly on your question. how long is a piece of string? It could be a peach that is only cat D due to a bit of vandalism or it could have bodged up accident damage with poor panel gaps etc. You don't mention mileage, history, what any history files like, is it stand...

Considering 71% of the zone voted to leave? So many haterz.........

Personally? I find the difference between non switchable and switchable like night and day. It transforms a basic auto box into a much more interesting / usable thing. While it'll never be a manual, it gives much greater flexibility.

Alpina wheels anyone? :mad: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-e30-Original-ALPINA-wheels-and-ALPINA-steering-wheel-/222158864286? And they are not staggered. To be fair, it looks like for £2800 you get the wheels and the steering wheel. Someone may pay it. If they do is the price still mad? No. maybe the...

I always thought that first one was a little too long in the front and rear overhangs. That was sorted on the sencond one above, the GT4(?), which is a lovely looking thing.

Suits you down to the ground then.

Looks like you can just buy the handle Mo. Going on a 2006 model: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/en/showparts?id=EK32-EUR-02-2006-E64-BMW-630i&diagId=41_1582 About £30-£40 for a primed one (RH = 51216961444). All you gotta do is have it rewrapped. P.S These look so much better in silver than white!!!!! 8O

Drop Pete a PM. I'm sure he knows the score.

Didn't they do an S50 conversion that's had to be sorted out by a zoner?

Followed by a big f*** off dustpan and brush?

For those that want to know, the date is Sunday 14th Aug.

I'm hoping to get there Iain but won't be in my car.

Forget the wire wheels for now as they will only help you ONCE you know the full extent. Get under there with a good strong screwdriver and go at the areas hard. You need to get that glovebox out as behind there is where the bulkhead rots out. And looking at those front floorpans, battery tray and r...

Before you spend any more on parts you need to decide whether you are prepared to spend the £500ish required to get the welding done. Ben THIS. The next thing I'd do is to get it as far in the air as you can, get the wheels off and attack it with a large screwdriver. Looking at your pics so far? I ...

Iain or Dave normally sorts this. It's a good show this one. Normally clashes with Gaydon.

Probably already advertised on Bumbook.

Glad to here your son and his mate are OK after that. Car indeed does look a mess. This truly is a case of you get what you pay for.

Has it still got it's original locks?

Yep. Retrim.
