As preventative measure, good idea to unbolt check & clean the eye terminals on those earth points. I had an issue with a non function cruise control. Cleaned up the engine bay earth and presto it started working. As soon as the car comes back from the fabricator I will be going right through it. I...

Everything around the bonnet earths at the point you refer to, except the engine management (top of RH turret), and (I think) the fuse box. I'm reasonably sure that the earths for the relays in the fuse box , that need an earth, go down into the cabin and earth on the bulkhead behind the glovebox. ...

Hi guys, can you tell me what earths out down behind the passenger headlight please?
I'm curious as to what part of the fuse box earths here

Cheers

Pull out the fuel pump relay, connect a 12 volt lamp between pins 85 and 86 of the relay's socket, then crank the engine. Does the lamp light?

I will try this when the car comes back from the fabricator now Brian as I dont want a repeat of yesterday

You still haven't said if you have sparks at the plugs. Hi brian. I do indeed have spark. Its run this morning all be it with touch if fire drama I had to quickly attend to 8O I put live from battery to the pump and it ran. So I primed it, then turned the key and bang! She fired up I suspect to muc...

Remove fuse 11 and connect a 12 volt lamp between the inner socket of the fuse holder and body earth.
Crank the engine. Does the lamp light?

I will try in the morning and report straight back Brian

Pulling my hair out with this now lol. I've been through my wiring I'm sure it's the same as it was before! Tested the fuel pump relay. Thick red wire has 12v, jumped pins 87 and 30 and the fuel pump fuse blew! Fuel pump is a new item that only did around 500 miles if that.! Its a quantum high flow ...

Check to see if you have sparks.

Hi Brian. Fuse 11 is showing as earth even with ignition on and I have no power at the fuel pump plug

Check to see if you have sparks. I'll check this tommorow mate. As a matter of ruling out, I've opened up the ecu and checked I had fitted the chip correctly, which I had But I've refit the original chip now so everything is exactly as it was before... a friend says if the chip is bad (and hes seen...

I've just been thinking and the only thing different to the last time it ran is an upgrade chip that was fitted in the ecu

Could this be causing the problem of not telling my fuel pump to prime?

Tested the fuel pump fuse (no 11) and it's dead. No power to fuel pump fuse

Hi guys. So this is bugging me now because I've had the car running a couple times now with no problems But I've gone to fire it up today and I cant get her to run. No fuel in the lines and the fuel pump is not prining on the key I've not changed anything since the last time I had it running which i...

No black cabrio interior parts, only beige in stock. Smoked indicators all sold.

Possibly black 2dr door cards, with cloth inserts.

PM sent regarding door cards

Yeah I've heard of people using peanut butter aswel. But as Brian said, the heat from using a heat gun activates the oils already there and makes the trim pop like new again

Very effective

The professional way of restoring black plastic trim is with a heat gun. You have to get the trim hot, but not too hot, and the colour will be restored, but it takes experience to get it just right.

I can also vouch for this technique. I did it on my vRS a few years ago and it worked very well

Any black cloth door cards please? For 2 door

Problem solved

Lock it up mods
Cheers

Second for Dan's pipes. I approached him when I put the v8 in my car and he made up the pipes to suit the engine and e46 rack. All went in with no fuss. Also got the solid steering linkage which is adjustable. I cant get my head round bmw "specialists" who cant manage jobs like this when I've no qua...

I'd send that back yeah to be honest mate

Hi guys.

Who is the go to guy on here for dif rebuild ?
Looking to get a price for extra clutch plates ect

Cheers

They are still available , I bought a replacement from my local dealer earlier this year for about £30 ish That's not so bad, I can live with that :) You haven't replaced it yet :wink: https://youtu.be/o3ySsY3O7jk I can imagine lol. I'm dropping the whole fuel tank and rear beam soon wish me luck h...

I think you'll find it's this one 16121177553 Anyhow you can find all spare parts reference numbers on realoem, input your VIN number and away you go Paul :-) Thanks for that mate.

Hi guys, so the v8 is on hold at the minute as I wait for the fabricator to re open so that she can go down for manifolds and exhaust system but in the mean time I've been doing some jobs to keep the love ticking over... So both rear calipers were seized on making pushing the car extremely difficult...

Does anyone know what the part number is for the large breather hose that runs from the fuel tank out to the wheel arch please?

Or if its discontinued, point me in the right direction for an adequate alternative replacement ?

Looking to drop the fuel tank soon

Many thanks

Put a 5l tin of fuel in the boot then run it dry, you will be surprised at how much the needle drops

This!
Mine drops off the gauge lol

The guy offering them on here from somewhere in eastern Europe (can't remember who or exactly where) was at least making them from the right material. Anyone on here actually buy and receive from him? There are ones on ebay that are not fibreglass, some kind of plastic but pictures aren't good enou...

My car had fibreglass copy front and rear bumpers from previous owner and they were terrible.
No way of bolting them in place, just held on with hopes and dreams.

I ripped them off, put standard front bumper and valance on with iS front lip and se side skirts, but I want a tech 2 rear bumper

How much are tech 2 rear bumpers going for guys? And any around?
Cheers

To update this thread, today i recieved the s62 heater hose and it fits like a glove.! The hose has on the engine side a plastic housing which is not needed on the m60 or m62 engine as the hose goes to a 24.5mm port on the accumulator, the plastic housing is held on by a metal band. Just remove the ...

Going to try s62 hoses and report back

The angled pipe can be rotated 180 degrees by removing a small indexing bit on the flange where it joins the matrix. No idea if it helps with your problem, but I found it does with a M5x conversion. 15mm 'Yorkshire' plumbing fittings are a good fit on 16mm heater hose, and the annular pressings on ...

Yes, existing tank and pump will be fine for everything except engines that need exceptionally high fuel pressure. I have carried out m60 v8 swap but that will be no worries for this setup thanks again mate :cool: I think the extra 8 litres in the larger tank might help you go a couple of miles fut...

Hi mate. What hoses did you use from the accumulator on the ba k of the engine to the heater matrix ports on the bulkhead ? Having a mare with this at the minute as the silicone hose I've got here isn't pliable enough to make bends without kinking

Cheers

I've got most of this hooked up now but dam its tight down the back of there 8O I bought silicone heater hose but it's not pliable enough to make the bends necessary to route from the heater core ports on the bulkhead to the outlets on the back of the engine ... Anyone out there have any tips or wha...
