Touring Dog Cover refurbishment - help needed

Just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to 'unclip' the hooks for the dog cover. They move back and forward a little, and I've given them a 'reasonably gentle' tug, but they don't come out. Just wanting to know if I can fully remove them to tidy up and then powder coat, or if I need to do a ...

Re: 88 325is cooling/temperature issue

Have you checked the little brass nut behind the dash onto the temp gauge ? It can work loose and even fall off giving in both cases a false reading. Mart. I thought of that as the tach jumps around. I have a new set of gears in and will be rebuilding the instrument cluster this evening. Did you en...

However i...

Door lock codes

Hopefully an easy one, my key doesn't work in my drivers door, and only just works in the passengers (and ignition, boot, glove box) I've taken the locks apart to check the tumbler codes, but they're different. Am I correct in thinking I need to recode the drivers door to match the passengers? And t...

Re: Indicator gremlim

My touring doesn't have AC (for now), and just has the single vent.

I don't know what issue you will have if you just run with the single, I would guess your AC might not be as efficient?
