Hi,

I'm not yet a BMW owner, I'm looking to change my Jag XKR for a classic BMW, probably a 7 series.

Just thought I'd pop in and say hi as I'll probably be making good use of these forums!

Cheers

Steve

Hi steven,

Congrats on the decision. What 7 series have you got your eye on? E23 '77 - '86 or the moving away from classic yet holding on in there E32 '86 - '94?

From my experience you'll be hard pushed to find one in good nick. Stick to specialist websites matey

E38 is quite a long way from a Classic matey. Made those gals up till '01

The iL V12 is the way forward though. Flagship model at the time. Beautiful cars. I've had the privilege of owning one myself (Minus the V12 powerplant). I doubt you'll look back! haha

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Errr not clear here Donald Plastic "L's" with short rubber hoses ??? Distilled water/Ionised water should only be used in an old style lead acid battery. The Rad and engine coolining system should be filled with the correct coolant mix to prevent cavitation and the danger of freezing in low temps. Coolant should be part of the cars regular maintenance and changed every 3 years or so. At that time all hoses and connectors should be inspected and changed where necessary to keep everything in tip top condition. Changing parts can cause as many problems as you may think your solving

      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
