In fairness, the only way anyone will know if it's fixable or not is by looking at it. Hopefully it is. Good luck.

Bloody Hell! You even had bunny rabbits frolicking about.

It's like he's entered a Fail Competition, determined to win. The colour coded toolkit

Yes, there's a guide tube that the cable is fed through to reach the hand brake. What sometimes happens is that the ferrule of the cable rusts tight to the tube in which case, it's a bugger to remove. I found access to the area very awkward for molegrips or most other tools I tried. I finally resort...

If you use proper OEM tape from the dealers it will last forever but I like to replace it once a year, as I'm a bit fussy.

Heartbreaking! I can only imagine how aggrieved you must have been on realising that your car wasn't there.
Best of luck finding another, should you choose to try.

Scuttle corners, roof - if the sunroof drains have become blocked, battery tray, rear inner and outer wings, boot wells and around the reg lights.

Who am I kidding? The whole thing is a rust magnet.

I say we go there with Baseball bats demanding for your money. I cba to read the whole thread but if thats the case, PM me.

You could have it resprayed neon green, upholster the seats in fake fur and put some fairy lights on the dash. Don't forget to tint the rears also. In all honesty though it looked much better before you started messing with it. Why don't you just p*ss on it for good measure? Seriously! Have you phot...

Ring your local and ask them to order in what you need. Once they have it in stock they'll update the system and you can then ¨click and collect¨.

I've just done this. It was a wishbone too.

Not really. It just goes as far as to reiterate what has already been said about replacing the diff sensor plug and about 30cm of the attendant wiring. Another possibility is that the instrument cluster is at fault, particularly if the speedo only works intermittently. Check out the link below. Prob...

Lemforder ones are listed as £76.80 on ECP website

. Q- Drive are £46.74.

I'll give GSF a shout in the morning.

Thanks for the replies.

Not too serious. Rear sill near the jacking point needs a bit of welding.

Also need to get a control arm replaced.

Does this look okay? I'm on a tight budget.

Any other recommendations?

You can buy a repair kit that consists of the barrel, fixings and tumblers. Available from the dealers.

Number 27 on the diagram.

There are a couple of square brackets/washers that have probably rusted to the bolts. In your effort to free the bolts these have probably become mangled but are stopping the bolt from coming out. Top of the picture you can see the brackety thing (i'm sure it's got a proper name). http://i117.photob...

The bolts are probably rusted to buggery and are spinning freely. Best option is to remove the bumper mounts with the bumper still attached. There are 4 X 13mm nuts to unscrew. 3 are behind the rear valance and 1 can be accessed by pulling back the carpet in the boot footwell. Once the nuts are off ...

Apparently it's manufactured by AC Delco, a Belgian company. As long as the specifications meet your needs, it'll be fine to use.

Jealousy is a terrible emotion, it will cripple you up inside. Get yourself some white Gaffer tape and you too can be an indervijuwel, like me.

How do I get these things off without damaging the paintwork anyway? A hairdryer for starters I suppose.

No! Just some coco-pops under the handbrake console, and a milky way magic star stuck to the parcel shelf.

The bonnet came off a track car stripes included, I just heven't gotten round to removing them.

That said, I'm getting a bit attached to them.

And how it looks now. Front end refresh. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o44/RANCHERO23/318is/IMG_2280.jpg The viper stripes came with the new bonnet. I'm undecided about whether to remove them or not. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o44/RANCHERO23/318is/IMG_2279.jpg http://i117.photobucket.co...

I painted a set of old scuttle grills matt black and they look fine. I think the trick is to not go mad. One thin coat should do it.

Aesthetically pleasing too. Clean lines.

I bought one off B7 a few years ago. It's been on every E3O I've had since then including the current 318is which came with a tech1.

My favourite wheel but how the hell did you get that much for it? going rate is a tenner.

Must have been putting ¨Rare¨in the descrption

.

What is the deal with Baur's? There does seem to be a certain antipathy towards them from some quarters.
Were they poorly constructed or something?

Personally, I like them.

I've got to say, it doesn't have much poke and doesn't like to rev over 3000. I'm hoping a service of the 10 year old LPG system will improve matters.

It's a 318is. Not had a plate change to my knowledge. It's possible you've seen me cruisin' round in it though as I live in Bromley. Very near to you.

It's fundamentally a sound little car considering it's done 350.000 miles and been abused by monkeys for some of its life.
