My 1992 318i (M40) starts perfectly, then after a minute or so bogs down and sputters. I have to rev it to keep it running, and a burst of smoke follows and strong petrol odour. After revving to 2000 for a few seconds it clears and runs perfectly. Oxygen sensor? Any thoughts?

Hi - so definitely the top strut mount is wiggling/ loose. Is this a major fix ?
Many thanks!

I just replaced my fuel filler boot, and discovered the fuel expansion tank. I've been have this mysterious loose knocking noise on even tiny bumps that sounded like something loose in rear panel. Now I suspect it could be coming from the expansion tank area. I've felt around it but can't seem to fi...

Have you tired Pelican Parts? They have all kinds of trim / boots etc.

Hi - thanks. I took a look at top mount and can't see anything amiss. Should I try tightening the nut to see? It's like slapping sound, something moving freely.

When I drive over slight bump, there is an odd knocking noise from right rear...sounds like something hitting up against inside rear panel. Can't find anything loose in roof mechanics etc. No sound when I bounce rear suspension. Driving me crazy.
