Hi, Another new member checking in....

I'm Chris and I've just become the pround new owner of an E36 convertible. I'm a big fan of the classic stuff really, but family life means I need something with a better degree of refinement & safety that is still fun to drive. So far it's a winner on both counts!

It's my first experience of BMW ownership (well the Mrs did have a Mini for a while if that counts?) and although I'm only a few days into it, I'm a happy bunny so far. Overall she's pretty good for a 15 year old motor but there are a few little niggles to sort out so I'm sure I'll be on here asking advice a few times in the coming months.

Looking forward to getting to know this place,

Chris.

Thanks for the welcomes.

Welcome to the forum but just a question. Where are the pictures?

Just one piccy for now. If there's a nice day over the festive break I hope to give it a blast down to the coast and take some more somewhere a little more picturesque than my driveway.

Just a little update....

the E36 as she now looks following a little TLC over the winter....

and the newly acquired E91 for everyday use....

Since buying the E36 it was only a matter of time before the daily driver Mondeo was replaced. And even the wife likes it - last night I caught her on Autotrader looking at 1 series!

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
