does anybody know where i could find a schematic for the getrag dogleg box?

yeah, im hoping it's something as simple as that. just got to find the time to get my hands dirty!!

So i was driving along the other day in my '86 M535 and thought to myself how long it was since i had an issue i needed to post on here. 30 mins later, i pulled away from traffic lights and second gear was no longer there! There is no mechanical noise and all the other gears work fine, but your cant...

hi chaps,
its winter in australia at the moment and it would be ever so nice if my heater were to work.
my e28 m535's heater OCASSIONALLY works if it is set to demist the windscreen, but never works if any of the lower vents are open. have you lads got any ideas? are these common symptoms?

sorry mate, just thought because its not and e30 and all....

could somebody please tell me the valve clearances for an '86 m535i?
thanks

could someone please tell me what the valve clearances are on 1986 bmw m535.

im in australia and drove a nice old m535 today, silver, '86. i just need to know if there are adjustable tappets in this engine or shims? also, a single tick on each revolution of the engine, would that be tappets? the engine is strong, pulling all the way through the rev range, with a healthy note...

ahh, thanks for that, i only had a quick glance at it before dark. cheers.

Hi all,

Cheers

ok, we went to a bm workshop and they quoted us after inspecting the car. i will show dad that site (it's his car)
thanks

does anybody know where in the world i can source a non genuine window seal for an '85 635? it is the rubber running along the bottom of the front driver side window between the outside of the door and glass (to stop water running down in the door. we got quoted $600Aud for a geniune one. any ideas?

fantastic. thanks mrLEE.

so 13cm all round? yeah, not really into fully modding the sound system, the head unit i have has plenty of go but the speakers cant take it. thinking some newer ones will go better, just dont want to go overboard...

hi guys, just wondering if u can tell me the speaker sizes (both in the front kick panels and rear parcel shelf) in my '87 325e. would be a great help. also, are aftermarket speakers a very difficult job to fit? the car already has aftermarket speakers in it but they are awful. thanks in advance, an...

thanks very much mate, huge help. ill have a look tomorrow. Cheers!

right, no power at the wires, managed to get a multimeter from a neighbour. where do the wires lead to??

lol thats the problem mate, got no access to a multimeter or tester of any sort. Where do the wires lead to from the connection to the unit?

checked the wires under the unit, they r plugged in and fine, swapped fuses with a new 1 and still doesnt work.
hasnt worked since i had the car...

wont work, bit of a pain when i need power in the car!
ive checked the fuses and cleaned the contacts in the tube itself.
any common faults you guys know of?
thanks

cheers

could anyone please tell me where the main fuel filter is located on a 325e and how to get to it?
cheers guys

lol yer i know the show is only crap. i was just wondering about the airfilter...

cool. thanks guys. always thought that mike guy was a bit of a toss. ed is ok though. what about a "high performance" panel filter? any difference there?

was watching wheeler dealers and they fitted the pod filter to the 325 touring. apparently it increases airflow by 50%. are they any good? do they help? any sacrifice to engine health?
cheers guys

excellent, all my warning light woes are fixed

thanks flappy

might be a stupid question, but how come everytime i fire up the 325, the checklight flshes and the brake light warning light is on until i touch the brakes?
thanks guys

never happened to me or ne1 that i know of, but surely some nifty work with the welder can get her up and running! seems like such a little thin to cause such a big problem. is the lump ok other than this?
