Hi guys and gals,

Realised it's been a long time since I have uploaded any pics of my 36, not an awful lot has changed to be honest apart from wheels as all my funds are going into building her new heart :).

Cheers Daz,

Turns out there is now a change of plan. Brought a new baby :). Can't decide whether or not to put the new engine in here or the coupe. I'll upload some pictures shortly.

Few weeks ago I noticed that my track and tie rod's where completely shot and knocking so ordered some new ones.

Then I noticed that I had a leaky rack :(.

So I got a second hand one as it came with a warranty.

Old rack.....

Ordered a new one and will update when it's all fitted.

Ok last update for today lol.

I have decided that although I quite like the colour of my Rota's I don't think they suit the colour of the car.

So refurb time......

Let me know what you think :).

Got the paint colour mixed along with a 2-pac lacquer

It's a Volvo silver with a fine Aluminium flake if anyone is interested.

      105C thermostat replacement

      As I understand the wiring diagrams and operation Item 9 on the thermostat housing is the sensor which sends its signal to the ECU for interpretation with information from the map sensor. Information from item 12 (1st drawing ) is also used to provide average temp across the cooling system. As far as I am aware the Thermostst is independent of the sensors and operated by expanding wax material internally

      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?
