You may have got some dirt mixed in with the roller bearings, it is a bit of a fiddly job

When fitting these its best to clamp the UJ's to the steering column and rack first, then adjust the shaft to a position you are happy with.

probably a fiver or so and in stock at every breakers in the land

i just searched for that joint on realoem (under a 1989 M20 525i http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=32&fg=30 ) and it came up with this list of other cars it's fitted to:
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partxref.do?part=32311150489
easy enough to find then, E32 and E34 are the prime targets then

No problem, BT are a bunch of crooks, best advice is to avoid them at all costs.
Mobile broadband networks are getting really good ATM, well worth looking into :wink:
