Update.... took the car for a short run, parked it up on level garage floor for an hour or so, light cleared itself, all sorted

On a similar vain.... I have just replace my alternator (due to flickering dash warning lights as advised in another thread) now car starts and runs fine (warning lights no longer flicker... thanks guys!), BUT the engine check level light does not extinguish on the overhead check panel I disconnecte...

Hmmm sounds like the alternator then, all service lights etc are fine

Thanks for the pointers

Have a small but irratating problem with the brake hydraulic & battery charging warning light glimmering (only noticable at night or in the garage)

Car has no issues with either of these(fluid level is fine and car always starts)

Anything I should check?

Thanks

Penetrating oil over several days, and don't apply too much torque. Grind or split the nuts off any that prove stubborn. All going well so far with all nuts removed bar one (2nd one in from front of car, underneath manifold) not the easiest to access Can you give a numpty some tips for grinding or ...

Can anyone give me some tips and hints for removing the exhaust manifold as I want to replace the gaskets/heat shields (M20 Engine on a E28 525e though I may do the on the 325i to if succesful!) and the last thing I want to end up with is some broken studs!

Thanks

Ok, so a replacement starter motor is the order of the day

How specific are they ie. will any M20 engine cars one be correct? or does it need to come from a late engined 325i manual etc?

Sometimes on turning the key, the starter motor seems to run over ie makes a nasty noise!

Is this the starter motor about to expire?

Cheers

Another Vote of thanks for jonb, sorted me out a new sports seat mechanism for a very reasonable price

So you are

By yellow / black bases do you mean the underside of the cap when you have unscrewed it?

Which in my case has '140' moulded into it?

Cheers

:group: PH boys :) Yup, I found it..... And I've now got her in my sweaty paws. Can't believe it. Picked it up, went to the petrol station and some random stranger said "That's in good nick" and started chatting :) This christmas I will mostly be applying Zymol :) Don't mention the Beetle!

Official Name Is 'Natural Leather'

On occasions I get the warning light lit on the check panel whilst driving, but when I physically look at the rear of the car they are functioning fine.

Is this a common problem, any connections etc I should look at?

Another 90 H Chrome, I believe they changed for the 91 model year ie late 1990

Gets my vote, simple, classy, would quite happily display it on the car, dislike the use of 'Old Skool' etc on some submissions, but I am an originality merchant

Not I, (located in the midlands) but I suspect Malachite Green Cabs are a pretty rare and distinguished beast

Recently aquired a 325i Convertible Manual in Malachite Green Met with Natural (Beige) Full Leather sports seats, 15" BBS X Spokes, 3 previous owners (1st one had it 12mths, 2nd one 2yrs, then the last for 11yrs) Full History(BMW upto 2001 / 71k) most of the old MOTS, car now done 88k, car I would d...

Hi, Some rear screens are stitched in others are zipped.....as I found out! I have a genuine Zip BMW rear screen (it has been previously used so hence has some fine scartches on it, should polish up like new with some renono plastic screen polish. http://www.renovointernational.com/products/p_wpolis...

Cheers Brian,

Sounds quite simple to fix

So its a case of cleaning/checking contacts or replacing

Sounds possible, but did your indicators work when the hazard warning light was pressed, when the were not working on the indicator stalk?

cheers
