I'm after an anchor clip for the drivers side. My current one has developed the habit of coming undone whenever I go round a corner.

I think the number is 1941408.

Thanks!

Great! Thanks for the advice. I'll see if I can get hold of a ball joint splitter.

So I'm thinking of putting some new shocks on my car as it probably still has the original ones from 1987 and it's a bit like driving a boat. I'm no mechanic, but I'm also not an idiot. I'm a carpenter by trade so I'm pretty practically minded. (And I know how to use a hammer!) I've done a bit of wo...

Have you tried a gear puller and a socket or something similar? My sockets have a sort of taper so they fit just inside the ring at one end and outside at the other end of the socket. With the arms of the puller on the outside of the frame and the threaded part of the puller in the hole of the socke...

How big is the ring roughly? I had a similar problem when I did the front bushes on mine. I used either a vice and two sockets, one big for the outside of the ring, one smaller to push the ring out or like it says on the wiki, dis-assemble a hacksaw, put it back together inside the ring and cut near...

You'll have to measure the ARB where it meets the bush to find out what size you have. There's a section about it on the wiki here: http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/index.php/Anti-Roll_Bar I just measured mine with a vernier calliper. My car is a 320i and has a 18.5mm ARB which is annoying as powe...

Just got my car back from the garage after a service and the guys advised me that the exhaust manifold is starting to blow, nothing to worry about yet, just an advisory. Could this just be the gasket that's on its way out being that it's older than me? The heatshield is pretty knackered so can I pre...

I do have a replacement seat with no rips, but it's faded a lot more than the original interior and it's covered in grease and oil and who knows what! The actual houndstooth part is in pretty good condition though so re-covering might be an option. How much do interior sets usually go for? I haven't...

Still after the elusive houndstooth interior for my 320i. Mainly just the drivers seat as everything else is in pretty good condition.

It's either that or replace the lot with grey or black leather?

Any help would be great.

Thanks, Matt

Had a go at this today, following the advice above. And managed to get the glovebox forward enough to see the catches. Unfortunately one of them was totally jammed and I couldn't shift it. I did notice that the housing for the catch was fixed to the underside of the dashboard with a bolt and two scr...

Great, cheers!

My glovebox is stuck shut. Any ideas about how to open it?

And yes, I have checked that it's not just locked!

I only got the car last week, hopefully it's full of cash or gold or something to pay for a few upgrades...
