Yes, Try 'The Radio shop' in Portsmouth. The owner Chris has been repairing Blaupunkt head units for 40 years. Recently charged me £60 for a full service incl belts on a Blaupunkt Bamberg (New York).

What a superb night! I did feel that e28's and e34's were under represented though!

Seems genuine, hope someone here can use this:

Just a heads-up to anyone still wondering, the deadlock is included in the repair kit. Confusingly, the schematic on realoem doesnt show it in their picture. All good!

Interesting but I'm flummoxed! Is the part I'm after what's referred to as the 'armature' in the Wiki link above and does the lock cylinder rebuild kit include this?

Aha - it's the deadlock! So this is the supplemental latch when you turn the key all the way to the horizontal? Mine's a Baur convertible so standard coupe equipment and yes it is the driver's side for a RHD car. The repair kit from Cotswold was £17. The ebay one is £50, presumably because it includ...

I've just order a lock cylinder repair kit to recode my driver's door lock to the same as the others in my car. My mechanic has told me it would be prudent to also get the 'latch', in other words the part in the picture -link below- that is in the bottom right hand corner of the image: http://www.eb...

Awesome. Thanks guys!

I'm trying to upgrade my lollipop/wishbone bushes with the M3 eccentric style with the offset holes. Which direction do the arrows stamped on them point (i.e. out to the arch or in towards the engine?_ I THINK they would point towards the engine, that way the rear of the wishbone is pushed out towar...

So firstly it's clear that the black plastic surround/retainer needs to be unscrewed. Once removed, what then?
I'm going to try polishing mine up with a rotary buffer to see if I can save a few shekels....

Bueller! anyone?!

My car's a prefacelift 323i (1985). As many of you will know, the prefacelift cars sit VERY high to begin with! I've fitted H&R lowering springs (-20mm), and it now sits much better. My car was originally supplied with -and still bears- the 'sports suspension' option (i.e., yellow shocks but with st...

My 323i just passed MOT so will be on the road this Summer again! The middle box is well past it's useful life and the rear silencer has seen better days. I'm thinking of junking them both and going with a stainless system from the front pipes on. Having searched the web, I cannot see the likes of J...

My car's a 1985 323i which was supplied new with 14" factory bottletops. I'm now running the BBS Mahle 15" with the recommended size tyres, which are Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 205/55 R15 88W MFS.
What's the right pressure in PSI?

I have a circa 1983 Blaupunkt Bamberg SQR05 radio cassette player, with the matching external quadro amp, and I need 2 things: There are 4 spade connectors at the rear of the unit, 2 large and 2 small. The installer says he isn't comfortable installing unless I can provide a wiring diagram. Would an...

And if you are going to buy some, try tyreleader.co.uk.
It is a UK website but a German company. Shipping is free, I have used them twice. Orders are trackable. Really, really good Bridgestones came in at £54 each delivered last week.

These are the puppies....

Have just bought a set of BBS Mahle 15x7's after many months of searching. My question is, what is the original factory supplied tyre size for this wheel? I don't want anything stretched that would compromise safety or handling.

Sorry Brian, I'm referring to this part

How does one remove the black plastic retainers at the end of the metal wiper arms?

my apologies for any ambiguity - although I wrote 'RZ' I did mean 'RA' (as per the link). As such, same offset as the 14" bottle tops I currently have. The reason I like these VAG wheels is they are all alloy with no plastic centres which I rather like. The 15" BMW cross-spokes are nice, but it feel...

I'm looking at a set of 15x6 wheels originally off a VW Golf mk1 with 4x100 hole pattern, genuine BBS but only supplied OEM for VAG, the Model is BBS 'RZ': http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15-BBS-RA-alloys-wheels-4x100-BMW-e30-VW-Golf-polo-caddy-lupo-jetta-corrado-2-/321653055868?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_...

I have the remnants of this still stuck to the underside of my bonnet. I read in a previous post that Toyota brake cleaner did an Ok job of removing the residue /glue. After 2 hours of scrubbing my fingers are red raw and I have only just cleaned off one of the 3 panels. Is there a better way? Someo...

This one?

The gearshift on my 1985 323i with 100k miles (and most probably another 100k) 'clocked' between owners (!) is a bit vague and I have real difficulty getting her into first from a standstill. It's been suggested that various gearshift bushings are most likely shot and that replacing them all might s...

That is unholy! Ghetto highline dash!

The context here is that the Morgan Plus Four with the Rover K series engine made a worthy competitor on a race along the A272 ending up at Goodwood. I think we were both deaf due to wind noise and wing mirror turbulence by the time we got to Goodwood!

I already tried 'oven baking' the light unit to remove the front lens so as to demist the inside. The lens did not come away cleanly, so hence I am now looking for new units. I managed to cross-reference the inners and found a French ebay seller called mister-auto selling them for £33 each - deliver...

After two years of troubleshooting niggles, financial ruin and many hours in the garage, my 323i resto nears completion. As is always the way, the minor things are taking forever. Here's where she stands now: http://i.imgur.com/flOqpVm.jpg I need help with the prefacelift outer Hella lamps. In short...

How do I remove the black plastic retainers off the end of the headlamp wash/wipe wiper arms, is there a trick to this? I just want to remove mine as they are faded, cracked and get the sprung arms powdercoated...

My tyres are looking flattish and I'm ashamed to saywere not far off 10 psi! My car has the original 14" bottletops. Can anyone please tell me the correct pressure for the tyres?
Thanks,
Chris

I've used Petro-patch befo successfully. Like a total tool I punctured my fuel tank in my Merc 190e while trying to install rivets to secure mounting brackets for rear headrests. My mechanic's suggestion was to get a small screw, with a fibre washer and tighten it into the puncture hole with some ru...

I bought a dash undertray. Almost mint and packaged superbly. Many Thanks.

Appreciate the offer, just wondering why one couldn't use the ETA bottom end with 731 head, 325i manifold/throttle body and retain the L-jet. I just want affirmation that this'd run with decent driveability, mainly from someone who's done it!
