This is a photo of a cab kit I sold last year It was modified from a standard kit You can make out the modifications if you compare it with standard The genuine article is modified/manufactured to fit as the cab sills are wider Hope this helps http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f240/r66beamer/P100086...

Could be residue from radweld if there is any previous leak history
I wold flush it using Holts/Comma Radflush to be sure

Put a bit of waxoyl in the hole for good measure

The gap in the seal looks massive compared to mine, are you sure the complete roof is correctly positioned? If the front catches are engaging correctly then the seals are the problem. They are all available from BMW but a little expensive, part numbers on BMW OEM. Correct fitting is essential and re...

Hi
Can you quote prices please for Mtec 2 fitting kit complete for all panels sills and front and rear bumpers.
Also price for bonnet insulation foam kit for 92 e30 318i cabriolet.
Many thanks

Sorry, quite right, brain fade on my part
It may have been treated to a dose of sealer or locktite at some stage?
Try an open spanner and shock it with a mallet or get more leverage with a
pipe over the spanner maybe
Good luck

You shouldn't need to remove dip stick tube??
Drain auto box, remove sump, clean sump remove filter, replace with new filter, clean and replace with new sump gasket, replace bolts and refill through the dipstick tube using a small funnel, job done.

I have one of my cab doors in bits at the moment and to answer your question, inner door trim must be removed to get access, remove the regulator mechanism screws to allow you enough access to get the new quarter in with the rubber attached, its mounted in place from inside the door skin working upw...

I put a 2.5 M20 in my 93 318 cab a couple of years ago, more or less plug and play, need to change diff and gearbox as well, best move is a donor car which is the way I did it, good luck

Those brake lines look ripe to me, especially the RH one
You have max access now so why not do them now?

Waited a year for a set to come up for sale

One of the best tools is a socket held vertically in a bench vice You can change radius of bend by varying socket sizes etc also if you are duplicating a complex pipe like the rear ones a trick is to cable tie the pipe to the old one and follow the pattern along its length bend by bend cliupping it ...

Condition, engine, go 325 you will only want one later and colour
Maritius Blue is quite desirable

Check the switches as well, I recently found 2 out of 4 not working as they had corroded inside and the contacts were useless. Use the good switch to test the other window motors.
Seems to be a common fault on cabs

The batteries can be bought on-line from RS (order number 325-2850), you will need two of them

If you substitute the rawlbolt bolt with a longer length (350mm) of 12mm threadad bar and use anything with a bit of weight with a clearance hole in it to slide on the bar then put a nut on the end of the threaded bar hay presto....
home made slide hammer......
bearing out in seconds

Toad alarm with ultrasonic or microwave internal coverage!
A lot cheaper than a hard top at £800+

GSF do the kit, give the straps a coat of heat resisting aluminium paint or galv paint to make them last a bit longer

Autotint design (Total BMW) do some for E39 5 series which may solve your problem

Bulbs or relay K8, black one bottom right in fuse box

mauritius blue for a cab

Just measured the pins on a spare switch they are 2.1mm so its item 1or 5 on the RealOEM page

It will not be easy to fit.....have you considered splicing in a plug from a breaker?
Soldering iron and heatshrink sleeving job?

When I had my cab engine out I tied the gearbox bell housing up to the garage roof rafters, I forgot and lowered the car and the strop broke and I smashed the bell housing.Luckily without my bonse in the way

5 inch 30w look in the ICE section , also someone on here will have the stock item from a breaker

I got the same fabric braided rubber hose from Demon Tweeks
I was quite reasonable if I remember, its on their web site
I would not use anything like garden hose, its the wrong diameter
its not safe and looks sh*te

Forgot to say...it was also an auto
Good luck

I bust a bellhousing not so long ago and was able to swop it easily
It just unbolts if you are very careful!!

This may help, I removed this cable last night from my scrapper and also photographed the connections if you are still stuck.... Main loom ”¢ Large yellow connector ”“ Back of instrument cluster ”¢ Larger green connector ”“ Back of OBC main unit ”¢ 2 x small green connectors ”“ Relay control module ...

Idle control valve? Sounds like it may have stuck in closed position or the connector has a bad contact. Check if it is buzzing with the ignition on. If thats ok it may need cleaned with carb cleaner the oil very lightly with machine oil.

Only electrics involved are removing the starter inhibit (disconnect two plugs from existing wiring, and plug together), and adding the little loom from the gear lever to the reverse light switch. (Did a quick search and lifted this from one of Brians posts, thanks Brian respect as always)
