Bullox to her. Tell you insurance company you was driving straight and she pulled out, you swerved to avoid her hence your car was in the hashings. She pulled out and your on the main road End of story. This! If she is going to be a c*nt and not go anywhere other than stealers for a quote, then fuc...

What I would be thinking of here is what the insurance company can see as evidence while looking at the case. You have no photos of the incident, does she? It would probably boil down to a split blame from them, but she has how many witnesses? That are police officers? I wouldn't be suprised if it e...

haha i did search.. just not well enough

thanks mate

I know probably been asked to death, found out the answer to this a while ago, managed to forget and now can't find it. I know its printed on the block somewhere but I can't remember what to look for or where

IMO I don't think that has just appeared in the past 8 months

Maybe best as a breaker.

I know, makes me wonder how dodgy the last garage was that mot'd it! And leave it alone I didn't make it look like that

Thought as much. No rich afraid I can't weld, the arch bits won't be too bad to get done but the rear stuff would seriously put off anyone buying it. And Jim I'm not sure mate, kind of half looking forward to pulling it apart myself haha! It's easy taking stuff apart as long as I don't have to put i...

Bushes were already done a few hundred miles ago, that rust repair is gonna be a pretty big job, and it's not the only rust so I'm just not sure it's worth the investment!

So a rather late update on this.. Despite my optimism failed on its MOT on rust in the front near side arch and rear offside arch (near suspension turret) welder I know says he will do it for £100-150 depending how long it takes him. Problem is has also had advisories on both sides of the rear subfr...

I know I know..

Been way too busy in the day to get the chance to add some rust pics, at the garage now MOT on monday so may as well wait for that!

Haha, only done about 500 miles since last and all advisories sorted since last MOT!

Optimism gets me through

Course now I've said that..

Well really I want 800 for it with the MOT.. but I think u will be looking for less than £35 less than that .. ;) since im pretty sure its gonna pass, so id rather sell it with!

Hi mate I have a friend in redditch who's after a BMW just like this can I have a contact number so he can arrange a viewing as he has cash waiting and is local to you thanks raz That would depend how much cash would be waiting!! As said though I will make sure it passes the mot first before I deci...

Being near a Birmingham is always a bonus when selling a car modified like this :D Sell the council bits plop it up fit some chrome bumpers and enjoy it for a while is my suggestion :teehee: haha you aren't wrong there!! And while that's a good idea cos of the weird colour will require too much eff...

I'm near Birmingham in redditch. As above this was a kind of advice on what I should do with my turd kinda thread rather than a for sale :p as for 500 quid, surely the donk and the kit are worth that alone! And while yes it is council the work required to put standard bumpers etc due to the fact it'...

So it has come the time.. Bought this about 8 months ago with full intention of throwing money at it, s50 conversion plans etc.. However due to going traveling at the end of the year need to get rid of this one way or the other. That being said, since I am leaving in 6 months I'm currently saving ev...

yeah ordered the right bmw bolt as they are a weird thread. i can get the bolt to screw in to either hole when the diff is down fine, and one or the other when its in place. have tried all possible angles of the diff including every other bolt in place, however im going to try stands on the sills to...

Yeah when I removed it one was missing! The car is only jacked up via the subframe at the moment so that could be my problem!

Had the diff all in situ ready to be bolted back in after leaving the car for about a month, front bolts go in fine, one of the rears go in fine but the other side is always going in slightly at an angle.. Tried with the jack all angles etc and is always the same, when tightening i can get them abou...

I can vouch for this.. as I found the source of my clunking sound when shifting was due to one of these suckers completely coming out, and the other about 3/4 there

The real fun is getting it back on again!

Fantastic should be alright then, if somehow it's not will it be instantly obvious?

Thanks for the advice

Did this this evening, 3/4 of my exhaust bolts sheared though haha, loosened the nut to get the prop back in now, any way to be sure which spline it was inserted into? I'm not 100% and can see no marks that would indicate where it was. Does it need to be back in the exact spline? If its one out for ...

I'm in the process of doing this with just two axel stands and a trolley jack.. And if I can do it anyone can

all i needed to know, fook knows why my centre prop nut was already undone

thanks

having not seen the centre of the prop i wasn't too sure how it worked, so normally this should be tightened and not move in and out at all?

sounds like this is gonna be a fun exhaust + heatshield off job now i take it

Attempted to put my diff back in today, however the prop when i removed it initially would move in and out by an inch or two, making easier to get it out. Now it seems to be stuck in its furthest out position (the end of the bolts on the end of the prop are further out than the front mounting holes ...

thought as much didnt have much more than an old ruler to measure it with

A better question perhaps is can i remove this bolt and get the shrapnel metal out of the bearings in there?

As topic, the one at the end that fits to the propshaft, need to get this sucker off but as its sunk in cant use a spanner, and none of my sockets are quite big enough. Think its a 29/30 mm but would like to confirm before i go out and buy one! Unless I carry the diff straight into B&Q.. :D Also how...

Got my diff welded.. for free I might add! Just gotta get the fooker back in the car now..

Hah gotcha thanks ill get ready to wrestle it out in the morning

Yeah that's what I was trying but wasn't sure how much you can pull at it, is there any chance of damaging the prop itself?

Trying to remove the diff off my 325, took out all the mounting bolts driveshaft bolts etc, got the nuts off the prop end but the bolts themselves don't want to move? Weird head on them so can't unscrew em and can't hammer em as no room. Thought I could wiggle em free with the diff free but the prop...

Woah nasty! Ok gotcha will drop the frame next weekend inspect the damage and see what that seal looks like. Sounds like a fun weekend. Cheers for the help

Gotcha. Don't drive, add bolts. Any ideas on the leak?
