Did you try cotswold on here ?

Mart.

I did for the downpipes, but had the same issue as with my local BMW dealers. So figured would probably have the same with the brake discs. ta.

Hello all, Today is the second time now I've requested parts for my 1998 325iSE Coupe from BMW dealerships and been told those parts are no longer available. Where are people sourcing their parts these days? Thank you very much in advance. p.s 1st enquiry was for the downpipes on a three piece exhau...

Thank you very much. My local BMW dealers gave me one steel one copper for my pipes 2 short of the four required? I requested they replaced the steel one and the missing nuts for the copper ones, i was thinking more in terms of the rust resistance qualities.

Hi, Anyone know the torque setting for the 4 exhaust manifold to downpipe nuts please. Thought i had them tight enough, but was blowing when i started the car. Tightened them again with an old longer leverage torque bar. Think i've lost a lot of strength, what i think is tight now clearly isn't anym...

Hello, Looking for the downpipes for an '89 E30 325i with a three piece sebring system fitted (mid to back ) The 1st section "downpipes" i require: part number i have is 18101719227. Contacted my local BMW dealers, as thought shipment of a large part may be an issue, they say the part has been disco...

Hello,

I'm looking for the down pipe for a 1989 3.25i with a three piece exhaust system. Local BMW dealer says they are no longer available. Going to need associated gasket seals o-rings and the front mount if avilable.
Thank you in advance.

Will be asking Cotswold BMW too.

Thank you very much. Didn't spot that! No problem :thumb: Well once the car needs a respray then the amount of work (cost) doesn't change much for a proper job if the original paint is good or bad. The value will be in the detail, rust in the wrong place can be an expensive and/or tricky repair. It...

Hello Steven, I really do hope your health improves mate, and I promise never to moan again about having two new hips, yours was a biggy to say the least !!

Thank you, quite cheap too!

First question is why did you have the inner barrel apart? Nothing to do with the switch. If you've disabled the steering lock, it's important that you've totally removed the peg that engages with the steering wheel boss, so that it cannot engage under any circumstances when driving. Steering locks...

I changed the large 30mm oring out to stop the leak and replaced the 2 17.12mm ornings. All done and leak free. My threads on the zone Facebook page as my flickr pictures don’t seam to work here.

Just joined the Zone FB. do you have a link? cheers

A flat plate bolted in place of the motor will keep the coolant in.

Yes, just read your previous comment, with Gasket/oring. Utilising the o ring would require some machining of a plate? be neat but flat plate and gasket would suffice?
Thank you.

I would have heat for the first time in my car ? Didn't realise that your problem was no heat at all. It's unusual for a valve to fail shut, unless the heater hoses are the wrong way around, when the flow of water can hold it closed. Do you know that the problem is with the valve and not the matrix...

Thinking these may fit. will strip my valve to measure o-ring size, when i get near a garage. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M3-3mm-A2-STAINLESS-STEEL-SOCKET-CAP-SCREWS-WITH-NYLOC-NUTS-HEX-HEAD-BOLTS/112378103192?hash=item1a2a41c598:g:3DcAAOSweChcrf~5 Iirc 45mm length required for bolts. 30mm large ori...

Fitted a replacement switch, was having no success refitting the inner barrel gubbings, nothing wanted to lign up, I fear the AA guy who came to my rescue may well have twisted or bent some parts. clueless and unable to rotate the ignition beyond position 1. There was a ping and the inner gubbings f...

https://www.specialclassicparts.de/epages/83478026.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/83478026/Categories/Karosserieteile/E30_RepSatz_Heizungsventil I suppose it's a 'one stop solution', but for two O rings and four small nuts and bolts it's a bit expensive. You can buy a box of 400 O rings and a similar ...

So it looks as though I need a set of four nuts and bolts to reassemble and inspect / replace the o-ring?

Looks like the valve has popped off ! I take it the black return pipe can be removed to repair.

There must be another valve/substitute out there in the big wide world?? Quite possibly there are suitable valves out there, but the problem is connecting that valve to the existing pipework. The existing valve has a flat flange/ O ring connection to the heater matrix at one end, and the other end ...

Hi, I believe my plastic ignition switch has warn out. Has anyone got one for sale or know the part number please.
Thank you in advance.

Can’t help but ask are BMW now selling heater valves. Some years ago mine failed/leaked and they were NLA. I was told that if enough people asked for one another batch would be made. Two years later I got a letter from bmw asking if I still wanted one. I was very impressed, car would have been abou...

My original leak was from the valve but whilst replacing it I noticed weeping appeared from the heater matrix so as the job is a bit of a pain I replaced both items , Be prepared for some swearing and unnatural body positions

Thank you, I am 6ft4 so will look forward to that!

Are you sure it's the matrix? These rarely fail, and from your description it sounds like you may have the fairly common failure of the electric heater valve, which plenty of us have experienced. There was a recall several years ago regarding a potential cause of this. The problem was the coolant b...
