Wouldn't surprise me if that engine dies in the not-too-distant future... They may have cleaned it out, but there's bound to be other damage (prob corrosion) that won't have been solved. Totally agree with not liking the long change intervals on newer cars--its a ploy by the manufacturers to woo fle...

Possibly. Need to check with the other half what's going on during the day apart from her xmas do in the evening.

Really liking the banner!
I'll look forward to the new theme option, as the black and orange can be a little bit obvious at work. Looks like that should pretend to be reading emails nicely...

paid. though I'm probably the slowest/last one...

They're almost always sold as pairs, but there is rarely anything stopping you ordering just one half from a manufacturing point of view. Most presses will bang them out about one every second or two, and all the finishing (overlays, machining, boring, etc) is done on an equally massive scale, so on...

the difference with those studded tyres on was like night and day. word of warning tho if the cozzers pull you over on a road not completely covered in ice/snow they can fine you or something i think, for destroying the road surface. Steel-studded snow tyres are the best thing ever :cool: Dunno wha...

As suggested by my dad: box of bricks or a bag of sand or something in the boot to get some weight on the drive wheels and its fine. My touring survived last winter quite well this way, and our old merc did many winters in Norway the same (though it also had the benefit of steel-studded snow tyres)....

If something in the braking system was f**ked, you should feel it through the pedal as well. Most likely bushes (I've got the same to sort on mine).

I get the same stick at work about mine, but people seem to forget that the two of us doing the most miles have the oldest cars (my L-reg E30 and an L-reg Escort)!! As we've both found, take care of it properly and you'll be fine. The only problems I've had can be traced back to me every time. That ...

Count me in as well. I need to replace my leaky rack before MOT time so I might as well use this and fit a better one! 1. Daf - deposit paid 2. Blitz877 3.

I, too, have now got a strut brace, and its all good!

The last seven digits on the plate above the driver's side headlights read CL58171. Is that the number you need?

The housing has an alloy cap. The MAHLE ones I've used in the past have been type OX91D if that helps.

I'll just go wander off into the work car park now and get a chassis number...

Hi,

Just after a few bits for my '93 316i (M40) Touring. It doesn't have air conditioning.

Set of (4) spark plugs, NGK type
PAS belt, think the part number is 32421757953
Alternator/fan belt, think the part number is 11231717952
An air filter
An oil filter

Cheers,
-Lloyd

Very cool. I wonder if the dials work with the game...

I feel somewhat deprived.

Nope, me too. Garage full of expensive bicycles and bits, though, so I know where all the money went other than petrol...

Others on the zone have sorted the PAS bits, so don't worry about those apart from the washers (5 on the diagram).

and 2 of each of the filters, please

Cheers,
-Lloyd

maybe a front one. remind me how much they are again?

all for '93 M40B16 Touring oil filter air filter Its just an oil service so I don't think I need anything else (well, oil, obviously).

Afternoon, That was the same result with realOEM: doesn't exist. Oh well, never mind. To be fair, the iPod wasn't even invented yet when the E30 was new! Someone locally has a kit stamped with that part number and I was hoping it might work with the CD43 you so kindly supplied the code for. He doesn...

Thanks!
-Lloyd

actually, one other question...
Is there a way of finding out which stereos the iPod interface with part number 65 11 0 392 130 is compatible with? RealOEM isn't much help (mostly interested if it would work with the CD43)

Now I'm at home with the radio in front of me...

BP0273 4 0147574

Numerous other numbers on there, but nothing else begins with BP or PH

Hi guys, I’ve recently purchased a BMW Business CD (Blaupunkt CD43) radio from Dr Firefly on here and he had misplaced the code so it currently doesn't do a whole lot. Is that something you can provide on here without me needing to come in? If so, what info do you need off it (serial number, etc)? C...

quotes for my insurance was the first thing i did on all my prefered options before i decided which engine to have fitted. ooh, get mr sensible! actually, very good idea and saves expensive surprises later...I did the same before buying mine, and will do before modifying. as to answering the OP's q...

I've got greenstuff all around on standard BMW discs. They're fine on the road and for what I want, but I can see where you might not like them for the track or if you consistently drive faster than me on twisty roads (not difficult

)

I've got one that was quite noisy before I took it off. It would have been going for scrap anyway so you're welcome to it!

Brett,

Quote for everything apart from the fuel filter. I'm going to do the rest as well anyway, and otherwise I can just save them for next time!

Cheers,

Hi Brett, The service ”˜kit’ bits are for doing an oil service which is due, so I’m going to say the whole lot is wanted. Is it normal to change the fuel filter as well? I wasn’t planning to, but as I saw it was listed in the ”˜kit’ I thought I might as well. I don’t have a personal preference on pl...

I’m in need of a whole bunch of parts for my ’93 L-reg 316i Touring”¦ part numbers should be right”¦ Service ”˜kit’ for M40, which I believe includes: Air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs Out of curiosity, what type are the spark plugs? I will also be in need of some appropriate coolant ...

By tomorrow I meant what is now today...nevermind, the parts chaps were very helpful!
If you saw the filthy mauritius blue touring in the customer car park around 12-ish, that was me.

Cheers,
-Lloyd

Hi Brett,

That's fine. Can I come by tomorrow at 11.30? I assume I should probably ring in the morning to confirm as well.

-Lloyd

Hi again, I'm in need of a few small bits... 4 x brake disc bolts: 34111123072 ...and a wheel-nut key because I can't find mine. I think its of this type: 36136762342, but how do we make sure of getting the right one? I'm happy to drive up to Cheltenham if its not just a matter of reading a number o...

Fair enough, it was worth a try. Better get my arse in gear and ring up...

That was quick!
Would there be any benefit to coming to pick them up myself from Cheltenham (and saving you the postage)?

Cheers
-Lloyd

for '93 L-reg 316i Touring

all four discs (F:34111160915 R:34216755407)
all the pad wear sensors (F:34359058889 R:34351179819)
