Re: Where to get Wurth silver paint??

Wurth is the manufacturer. Do you mean alloy wheel paint? If so it is feglen silber and any paint factor will mix it for you and then put in an aerosol for about £9 or just sell it to you in a tin for your compressor. Cheers, Pete.

Brake master cylinder replacement.

Hi,a mate of mine has just had his master cylinder fail and have been told it has to go to an "expert" due to the car having abs. Can it just be replaced and bled through one of the calipers? Cheers, Pete.

Re: Confirming a dead viscous fan?

Using a rolled up newspaper is a bit less brutal and minimises damage to the fan if it is working fine.

I am stripping my 91k engine for selling individual parts as it is easier to courier. Could someone please tell me the correct sequence of undoing the head bolts so I don't damage the head in any way. Cheers, Pete.

If you are binning the discs use a grinder to grind the head of the allen bolt off down to the thread. Always worked for me.

Plugs on instrument cluster

On the back of an '89 325i instrument cluster there are 3 sockets, blue, white and yellow. This sounds daft but I can only find a blue and a white plug. Is there a yellow one hiding somewhere or was that for a different market ie U.S.
Thanks,
Pete.
