DaveD which screws are you reffering to? The ones that actually lock down the hardtop?

Hi all, I put the hardtop on my cab a few weeks back for the first time and noticed that there was a slight gap on the drivers side between the front and rear window and the rubber under the hardtop. The gap is about 3mm but enough to make my seat wet when it rains :(. I thought that by adjusting th...

nice job mate... the older pics with the rust look like my car now

cheers mate, will give it a try

Hi all,

I seem to have misplaced my spare key and was wondering where do I could I get a replacement from? do i need to go straight to the dealer or will an ordinary key cutting place be able to help?

cheers,

Right lads spoke to the bloke at motormec.co.uk and he can get them for Ã‚£79 + VAT. Asked for a group discount because there seems to be quite a few people but no luck as he is sourcing these direct from Germany.

66 GBP IIRC for a genuine BMW bagged part - give them a ring and find out.

gave these guys a call and they will let me know tomorrow of a price. Will post up when i find out

hi mate,

They used to have them in stock a year ago but they might know where you can get them from??

Cheers

Hi all, I have been told that the rear lower suspension arm bushes are knackered and I wanted to know a couple of things: A) how easy are they to replace? i.e. can i do it myself? B) do i just stick to the ones i can get from GSF/Euro car parts or shall i go for the powerflex ones? Whats the differe...

no he showed me where it was knackered/worn but i been putting off buying a new one for a while but its going to start affecting my interior soon so need to sort it out as soon as poss really.

Is anyone breaking a cabbie that wants to sell the rubber seal?

hi mate, it just appears to leak from the passenger side. I was told that the rubber seal would need replacing soon when i took the car to get a new hood. I didnt think it was going to cost almost as much as the hood LOL!

Does anyone know where I can get Cabrio rubber seal that goes across the front of the hood? I tried BMW and they want Ã‚£130 for a rubber part. Is there anywhere else?

Cheers,
J

cheers Paul. Manage to get one of the seats to tilt forward last night with some extra persuasion

.

Just thought I'd see if anyone else has used anything else and would recommend it.

Hi all, just bought some leather seats for me car and need to get something to restore them with. I have seen some posts regarding liquid leather but I am not too sure which one to go for.

my drivers side electric window has stopped working. checked to see if it was the switch itself but it appears not. I am assuming it cant be the fuse because all the other windows are working.

Hi all, just went out for a drive today in the cab and thought I'd give it a good run on the motorway. I went to put my foot down and it just wouldnt shift as quick as expected. To be honest, it has been like this for quite some time. It feels like the car just doesnt want to move no matter how much...

My cab hood is making a squeeky noise when the hood is up.
