Re: Anyone know what this is...???

Thanks guys. I can stop scratching my head now. Actually, not quite - which bit of which seat does it attach to?

Btw, jbh, is that you pulling that slide in your avatar video? It's awesome! Love the way it just flicks back in after the slide.

Anyone know what this is...???

Actually I've had a look on Real OEM and I think it's 'Covering Right' part number 51711916186 but damned if I know where it goes or what it does. It came with my convertible when I bought it but the seller didn't have a clue either. Any ideas? http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/446/sparepart.jpg If...

Re: Need to know... ? £££ ? for a vibration damper

Ok I'll give it some thought. The other bit of advice I've had is to halve the retail price... £125 8O

Sounds a bit unrealistic to me so I think I'll try somewhere in the middle. Thanks for the advice.

Re: How much does it cost for a cabbie roof?

So... i'm selling a roof myself which is in very good condition, no rips, no leaks, good seals, frequently waterproofed, about three years old - I have it up for £200 which someone has accepted - am I underpricing it? What colour is it by the way? :) Dark blue... http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/...

The guy can collect luckily. Poor postie indeed - just weighed it, 25kg. Imagine that in a bit of bubblewrap with a sticky label on it...

Need to know... ? £££ ? for a vibration damper

Hello all. I'm breaking my 320 convertible and have a zoner interested in the vibration damper from the boot (the big block of metal that sits behind the drivers side rear wheel arch). Thing is I don't know how much to charge for it. I don't want to rip him off but I don't want to give it away eithe...

Thanks for the info guys. Its definitely not the PAS or alternator belts - had them changed a few months back, so I'll just wait and see if the noise dies down. Guess I'm just over reacting!

Post-service blues

Hi all. I had my 320 convertible serviced a couple of days ago and had a new cambelt kit installed at the same time, along with the valve clearances adjusted (plus new water pump and new fuel pump). I was expecting a much quieter, smoother running engine to be the result of the valve work - unfortun...

Exhausting questions...

Sorry about the cheesy subject line. I need to fit a new downpipe to my 320i convertible but I'm also considering replacing the whole system as the back box is pants (a Kwik-Fit special :? ) and the centre section is looking pretty rusty. Anyone got any advice? I'm not looking to do a major sports u...
