Doing an engine bay tidy up and I found these in a box of bits I had after my head repair....

Anyone show me where they should go and what cables of tubes they should hold (pics or Realoem would be good!)?

It's a prefacelift 325i (but with the dizzy on the head)

The 2 black clips (2nd left and middle one in pic)look the ones that hold the wiring for the reverse light switch onto the bar above the gear linkage.

small metal clip goes onto the front engine lifting bracket and secures the wire to the oil pressure sender to the top front of the head.

2 metal clips secure the fan cowling to the radiator at the top.

2 plastic clips with metal mountings go onto the rocker cover 2 central upper hold-down bolts and the injector wiring clips into the white plastic clip bits.

easy! :D
Thanks for that !

The first three are clear ! At last I can get rid of the cable ties on the fan shroud :D

The last two sounds right to me but I don't quite follow you on which bolts they go onto... do you mean the rocker cover studs / nuts opposite to where the cable tidy for the HT leads goes ? I'm sure my injector wiring runs under the inlet manifold...
