Hi,
I have a Blaupunkt BMW Bavaria CII casstte/ radio which has a loose on/off/volume control that needs replacing does anyone here have any experience of reliable electronics repair facilities?
Thanks, Jake

I have just replaced the power steering pump and intake manifold hydraulic pipe on my '92 E30 318i M40 Touring , the banjo bolts are : hollow bolt M14x1,5x26 32 41 6 852 469 and hollow bolt M16X28 32 41 6 852 470 you will also need the crush washers to fit, two of each: Gasket ring A14X20-ALMG 32 41...

I`m no expert on pumps but it could very well be ,I think you just about have got your millage out of it too :clap: :clap: Mart. I think you are about right there!. I might have sorted the issue for the moment. When I put the power steering belt back on I noticed that the pump's lower pivot bolt wa...

I am having a problem with the power steering pump on my 318i M40, all was well until I changed the cambelt recently. When I put it all back together again the power steering pump/steering was making 'groaning' noises when the wheel was turned either way. I had found it difficult to adjust the belt ...

Having seen some of the restoration work undertaken by others on this site I think I have been very lucky not to have had more to do. Having said that my 'brief' was to repair my daily driver in order to get it through its next 'controle technique' (MOT) rather than a full-on rebuild, I know one oft...

The wing quarter panel on the other, driver's side, was treated in the same way as shown in the previous post. A new piece was fabricated , welded in and painted. I f anything it was slightly easier having practiced on the passenger side. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AL9nZEXiLRGyDY-eSuDGknMV...

Thanks, I have added some more photos since your reply, with a few more to come later. Glad you liked them.

Does anyone here have any practical experience of changing the front crankshaft oil seal on an M40 engine? In particular the removal of the crankshaft bolt. The BMW tool 112170 as recommended by the Haynes book blocks the flywheel ring gear and can only be used with the engine out or gearbox dropped...

Having been told by my 'MOT' man here in southern France, down near Toulouse that my car had too much rust and too many holes for the new regulations I would have to get it repaired for the next time , that would be in two year's time... The list of work covered the usual things for an E30, driver a...

Hi, Though this is my new member introduction I have been lurking on the site for quite while, taking advantage of lots of very useful information. Mine is an E30 Touring, a LHD German/Austrian market vehicle purchased in Scotland, just prior to moving to France 18 years ago and is my 'daily' drive....
