Has the sensor itself been rattling around the wheel?

If you buy one from BMW you get the whole sensor that needs programming and you will need a decent diagnostic machine to programme it. But you can strip the valve from complete unit and just swap valve itself. They’re about £80 from BMW. Have you got a picture as I’m pretty sure they’re identical to...

Coil.

Have you had the engine running again after doing the timing chain?

Was it out in the first place?

Breaking a 116i would be a painful task with a lot of idiot buyersz

I didn’t notice this thread until now. I have seen this once before on an E46.

I was lucky and cleaned all the connections up, I put a new thermostat in. I also put a bit of solder in the wiring to stop it back tracking to the ECU, if it ever became and issue in the future.

Have never seen a headgasket fail like that!

I’m assuming that must be a know hot spot around the head.

So he should.

How many dangerous cars are on the road due to dodgy MOT testers?

Have you checked the nut on the back of the clocks?

I’d be taking a punt if it’s a nice shape.

Is it a sport?

What’s a steal? They seem to be commanding good money at the minute.

Ask the seller to do a compression test.

Just misfire codes? No VANOS codes?

Have you stripped the donk down yet?

Am I right in thinking it’s a push rod engine?

I wouldn’t suspect a holed piston as you’re exhaust would be smoking more than you do a˜‰

In my experience if you’ve lost compression on 1 cylinder, I’d suspect valve/spring/rocker.

If I’m honest, I’d expect a bit more damage if it’s just the one cylinder on low compression, usually headgaskets go between cylinder leaving 2 cylinders low on compression.

Whip the head off and find out what the crack is, could potentially be head/valve related.

They should knock in, rare they fall out, there purpose is to pop out if the engine freezes up.

You have a single mass flywheel.

Who told you it’s dual mass?

Just four little patches of rubber keep your car going in the direction you want, and bring it to a halt. The difference between 'known' brands and the budget stuff may not be great, but it may be the difference between sliding past the line on nuns waiting at the bus stop, or sliding into them. IM...

It’s not Kos’s, his is something like C11CNT. And is for sale I believe.

Epic!!

I’ve done a Corsa C electric column conversion on one, part was about £50 from a scrapyard. A controller from eBay about £40. An aftermarket steering wheel and boss was probably about £100. And took me around a morning to fit it. That was about 6years who and it’s still working fine to this day.

Injectors, EGR valves, handbrake levers, gearboxes, lock motors in the back to name a few.

They are generally decent vans TBH. Sometimes it’s luck of the draw.

I’m a Manager of My local Halfords Autocentre... awaits the comments.

Unfortunately no pics as there’s not much to show.

It was an M3, genuine bruv. Yes he does. Certainly with the way prices have escalated. mate i bet that wound gets deeper every year :cry: I look at all the E30s I broke and all the bits I’ve thrown in the bin. If I’d of kept all the bits I’d have a gold mine. I remember buying an E30 for £40 and a ...

What happened to it in the end?

Never got used so he sold it to a guy in France for £14k a few years back.

Plenty of the white stuff here, and my 3.0L auto E39 has got everywhere I needed it too.

Wow! Look at this gash wheels and number plates. Luckily it got better.

Do miss that car.

Builds track car and then parks it in the garage

Operation yewtree is watching!

Bit disappointed I’m still married here.

12years I’ve been on here, 9 of them with my E30 and I’m only 27.

Really is a shame it’s quiet here now

The above is correct.

Drop him a PM.

Drive to your own ability and make sure you enjoy it.

Are you still after something that reclines? And are you intending on using harnesses?

Luckily they're not a bad engine to take in and out, front end comes off with ease.

Plus you'll be able to sell spares off your old engine.

Brian, what year E39 is it? Last of the 528s- ended in 2000, IIRC. If later ones were fitted with it, then it may be worth searching out a breaker. I was under the impression that isofix was introduced with the E60. Doing some reasearch looks like the ISO fix is part of the chassis, there's nothing...
