Fred in Gatwick - BMW mechanic...

[tonyppe]

Does anyone know this bloke? he is the hardest person in the world to get hold of. and he owes me a LSD lol

does anyone else know of anyone that would help me with some repairs that i need doing on my 325

the frame that goes from the left side of the car to the right side, where the prop passes through, and supports the diff, has split, causing the diff to have moved over making the prop rub on the frame thingy. all the rubbers are shot which is why the thing moved in the first place.

so i need another prop, as mine is worn now, and a new frame and new rubbers/bushes. i already have a centre prop bearing as that is worn too.

who can help me??

tony, are you going to santa pod this weekend?

I have a 325 prop complete which you can have (subject to it fitting in my boot)

sorry, scrub that last post, it is taken already
sorry

[tonyppe]

build me up, before you let me down..... lol
cheers anyway :p

i dont mind buying an old rusty scrapper just for the two parts i need..

it sounds like you need a new rear subframe & the bushes doing, it's a bit of a cnut of a job as the bushes often need to be burnt out. Oh, and you need a prop too of course

[tonyppe]

thats it, sub frame. i had forgot what its called.
this fred bloke works from a barn in gatwick and all he does is BMWs some of u must know him.
or who can i see to get the subframe done and prop and bushes? if someone is willing to do it i will even help them. its just i dont have a ramp or anything to even start, and i have no idea where to get the parts from either.

Dunno anyone called Fred in Gatwick, but not a million miles from there you will find a chap called Mark at MJF Engineering (actually in Beare Green nr Dorking) and I'm sure he can do the job for you....He may also have the bits you need in his yard, so you could give him a call on 01306 713232
