Hi guys,

Just got myself a 1999 E46 323i auto, looking forward to getting it on the road next Sunday when I get back from working away. Hopefully you cans can help in my ham fisted maintenance attempts. I'm currently in Wiltshire but due to work I'm moving to Hampshire in December?

Previously I've only ever owned VAG cars, and always enjoyed the friendly car scene that came with them. Do you guys have regular regional meets or know of anywhere that does? It's always nice to meet other owners.

Cheers,

Steve Goral

I'll be honest bar looking around Odiham I've never actualy been to Hampshire before, although it looks nice. Not to different from Lyneham, which can only be a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

It was taken abroad when the previous owner moved to France, was originally registered in the UK though, so it was easy to get the correct plates put on and avoid the dreaded Q plate.

Cheers, Hopefully I can find some subtle mods for it. I used to own a MK4 Golf that was fairly heavily modded but was just such effort keeping running. And hugely impractical LOL I had to choose my journeys to avoid driving on anything even slightly cambered.

      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.
