It was dripping from the roof lining inside of the sunroof onto our heads. Passenger side mostly.

The water seemed to be coming in below the stainless steel surrounds. I have tightened the screws, they were very loose, kind of hoping. the strength of rain we have been having didn't allow the water to drain sufficiently overflowing under the stainless surround....I know I am clutching at straws, ...

Unless you regularly park with the sunroof open, I fail to see how a sunroof drain can ever get blocked. You can run something like TV coaxial cable or BenHar's strimmer line up through them, but I fear the word 'rust' will eventually figure in this thread. Was afraid of that. The outer edge of the...

Not sure where the exit point is! Any directions?

Hello, Looking for some advice please. My Sunroof is leaking has anyone got any tips for unblocking the back two drains?! The front ones are easily accessible, but I think I need to unblock the back ones?! I get the impression water isn't draining away fast enough. When i drive it starts to drip. Th...

Very true

Needs an update!

As long as they work, then they're fine, but your results show what a poor quality item Magnecor leads are compared with the OE item. They appear to vary in resistance according to length, indicating that they are probably cored with what is essentially burnt string, instead of being solid copper c...

Thank you from your thread. I guess mine are still well within spec.

Hi trying to decide whether to change my HT leads. They have been on the car for circa 10years. Not had any problems with them and no blue sparks in the dark. tested the resistance on each lead with following results are these serviceable readings? No 7 1.97, No6 3, No5 2.7, No4 2.34, No3 1.7, No2 1...

Mine doesn't have part 10 don't think it is vital!

I have bought a couple of spreader washers and the E46 convertible top mount, which seems considerably stiffer. Happy Days! Thanks for the tips guys!

Thank you. Will ask GSF for one

Thank you will see if GSF sell them.

Looking at the diagram again I may be missing part 4!

Does that screw into the top of the protection tube 5? If that is the case then I already have that part! I have destroyed two top mounts from GSF one after a couple of months and this one after only a couple of weeks?!! Surely I didn't get two faulty top mounts?

I have read a post which mentions a bottom washer on the rear damper shock absorber top mount, the top mount has recently failed, my car is missing this bottom washer, is it the same shape and size as the top washer?

This explians why my top mounts have recently failed there is no bottom washer fitted! Is it the same shape and size as the top washer?

Remove the gearbox crossmember, and let the rear of the box tilt downwards to improve access to the bolts. Remove the two large bolts that are opposite to each other, at the sides, and replace them with two long bolts of the same diameter and thread that have had their heads cut off. These will kee...

Have you removed the centre bearing mount? You have to undo the centre bearing mount, the prop will not collapse enough to allow removal with it still in place. The bellhousing bolts need a long set of extensions to get to. I find it easier to access them if I support the cross member with a trolle...

I was just considering this in the bath, I did remove it but then refitted, I found it easier to adjust the sleeve with it bolted, I will remove it again now that the sleeve has been adjusted, thank you very much.

I am attempting to change the clutch on my 325i, really struggling to slide the prop shaft off! I have slid back as far as it can but won't clear completely, the locking sleeve has been loosened and doesn't look like the shaft can slide back any further, have started loosening the bolts on the bell ...
