Re: front brakes binding

Adjusting pedal height is the last process before setting brake light switch position You need to ensure the servo pushrod is set to the correct position relative to the master cylinder before even fitting them to the car. On E30 servos the pushrod is usually flush with the face of the servo Sorry ...

Re: Thinking of buying a f30

I bought a F31 (touring) 330d around 6 months ago and its been a great car so far. It's my first diesel but I think the engine is great and just keeps pulling. The engine noise from in the cabin sounds pretty good IMO, I test drove the 320d as well and that sounded like a tractor. The 330d is much ...

Re: Thinking of buying a f30

Good mate of mine had 330d and then 330i. That straight six diesel was a weapon with the torque it had. 330i was probably faster but for double the consumption. One thing he never got on with was the ride, rock hard on both. For me I own nothing BMW newer than 2004 :D . Nothing they have done since...

Re: e38 to e36 oil level plug

There shouldn't be much of a problem adding the oil sensor wires to an E36 loom, especially if you already have a plug that fits the sensor, but is the E38 oil sensor compatible. At some point BMW moved away from a simple float switch arrangement, and moved to a weird system based on (IIRC) thermal...

That gauge is a 63 litre version, if the drivers side sensor wire is trapped/damaged and shorting to earth this would give a faulty fuel level of exactly 1 half when the other side of the tank is empty (as you have confirmed) The low level warning signal wire is also on the drivers side When you fi...

Yes, try the spare one. All info. helps in working out this weird one.
Since you have an OBC, test with the yellow plug disconnected as well. It will be even weirder if this makes a difference, but it's more data.
Will do Brian thanks.
