you dont actually need to drop the sub frame. i took out the bolts on th p/s and just loosened the ones on the d/s. jacked up the engine til it touched the bulk head and out it came.
prob be a good idea to fit a sump gaurd or re inforce the sump when u is fixing it

surely you are going use laquer. doesnt matter if its metalic or not, with a good coat of lacquer u will always get a better finish even if it has to be colour sanded after plus un lacquered paint tends to fade... maybe i'm wrong but i think all cars are lacquered now..

buy a couple of the ready to insert rubber repairs strips and the wee tool to put them in and you'll be laughin. just put in the car and if u ever get another u will be able to fixon the side of the road withput even takin off the wheel. as said so long as it is not on the side wall.. others may dis...

try agricultural machinery supplier, they normally have good reference books. i take it u have tried bmw for the part??

just get the measurements and you should be able to get a joint. never really had much of a look at the joints but if it anything like every other harvey spicer i have evr done u need 2 measurements. the cup size and the distance from the two cup tops when in the joint.. ie how wide the whole assemb...

my 325 was as quiet until i put in my new h and rs. then thw top mounts started complainig. dont know if it was the disturbiing of them or the difffernt tension of the springs or height changes but once i added new top mpunts all was well,
would also check the drop links as was already mentioned...

on the front i doubt removing it would cause any prob, but it prob is designed to catch extra air and pull it in towards the brakes as well as keepin dust in and water out..

i hit my sump and broke it. removed the sump and made a cardboard template of the bottom of it. then got a off cut from a thick sheet of aluminium chequer plate and cut it to the template. then got the crack in the sump welded and the chequer plate then welded completly round the sump. looked the bu...

it shouldn't have any real effect on the cooling system as such. if the two pipes are just linked and you can be sure there is no airlock now in the system, and you still have over heating problems u will have to look else where. is your rad gettin hot all over or is there cold spots. it could be th...

when diffin mine it used to stink of petrol but only on anti-clockwise hoops. tryed my spare petrol cap but didn't solve it and the rubber looked alright on the underside of the cap. took the rubber of one and put the two rubbers on one cap. tight to get on but no more leakies...

fuel pump??

do the oil can trick first. if the pump is worn it may need priming

is it the same sump?? if not the pickup could be against the base. I assume you didn't put too much gasket sealer on have it squeez out and get sucked up into the pick up. If not it could be airlocked. remove the oil light switch and with a squirt oil can pump oil down into the hole. only a thought ...

sorry. told me post wasn't workin, some bug thingy and i kept tryin

i've done this clutch replacement thingy and it handy enough if thats all ya have to do. no need to take down diff casing even. just remove the mounting bolts from the back of the diff. disconnect the two drives. reomve the bolts from the plates that are around the drives and the back plate on the d...

why use a washer when u can use a nut? find some one wit an arc welder and buy a 29.9 welding rod just keep addin a bit at a time til the stud is built up enough. hammer a nut on to the welded stud and weld the nut to it. as mentioned the shock of the heat and a slow back and forward motion should t...

right i bought the lsd clutches off motronic in the uk and proceded to fit them (got the crownwheel out without removin the diff casing :D ) problem is the two small clutch like washers on the outside (at either end of the assy) didn't look to healthy but the ones in the kit were different. grrr put...

right its a 10mm allen key i think. give the bung a good wallop before you try to undo it. oil for the lsd.. a lot of different advice here, so i went and paid a fortune from a main stealer for the genuine oil onlt to see the can and see that it is just synthetic gear oil that i was gettin x85w90. i...
