RING AROUND!

who was that with? last year i was paying 550 for 318i, I'm 21 with one non fault accident, no NCB due to being named driver on classic insurance. hoping my insurance drops a fair bit again this year being with me being 22

Mine has a similar problem, was going to change plugs leads etc. how common a problem is this on M40?

My fuel gauge has stopped working since i changed the loom in my car, there is a feed from the fuel sender under the back seat, but from there to the dash there is something up? any ideas as to why this is happening? i've checked the dash, replaced the clocks, changed the fuel guage also and still n...

i have the opposite problem, my dash lights are constantly on with the ignition, any ideas?

This is all very strange! The dipped beam relay is K4. One side of the switch contact of this relay is connected directly to the battery+, and the other side of the switch connects to the two fuses and then on to the bulbs in the outer headlamps. One side of the coil of this relay is connected to t...

cheers, i hope you can help!!

Can you confirm this is correct: 1) The sidelights work normally. i.e. They are off with the light switch in, on with it half out, and on with it fully out. With or without the ignition being on. 2) The dipped beams are off when the light switch is fully in, regardless of whether the ignition is on...

main beams work properly. I've already fiddled with the relays and one (k4 i think as you suggest) stopped the dip beam working, but then obviously when the headlights are switched to dipped they remained off. i think it would be very unlikely that the loom donor car had compulsory dipped beam, it w...

the car originally had the relays in, but the new loom doesn't, and the resitors are still there but with noting plugged in. the dip beam only comes on when the engine is running, the same way as the original dimp dip used to do. by the way the sidelights are on at the same time

i've replaced the main loom for the whole car, ie everything apart from the engine. there are not any relays in the glovebox region and the car has one smiley and one bullseye, the car i sourced the loom from did not have the relays and had smiley lamps.

I have had to replace the loom on my 87 318i, with dim dip. the new loom comes from a 92 316 touring, which does not have the dim dip plugs on so the dim dip is not connected. however when i switch on the sidelights the dipped beam come on at full brightness. how can i stop this from happening? at t...

How do you remove the back seat from a 2 door salloon? got the bench off but struggling with the back rest.

Thanks
