A big Thank you to all new members who have signed up to the club in the last few months.

Over the last 30 days we have seen a 50% growth of website traffic and is growing nicely. And considering this is a new club that has grown mainly by recommendation then we can see this club has the potential to grow in to one of the greatest BMW Clubs in the UK.

Please support us by keep popping in and joining in every now and then, we plan to create a some cool events in the future and release some nice features to the club.

Thanks folks!

This is a very public forum as in you dont have to be a member or logged on to view it all including members profiles. Would it be an idea to make some areas private to members only? Stop every Tom, d*ck and Harry being able to snoop through my extreemly helpful and informative posts :lol: I dont think I've made one yet :P

Members meet ups are always good, maybe a camping trip away for the weekend. Get some good pics of the shanagans and post them in the forum.

Meets are good, just need a little more interest...

Great site guys.. I prefer the laid back and extremely friendly atmosphere here (unlike the linear effect from other sites).

How about an online chat system? :rolleyes:

A good start would be using FlashChat

I do apreciate that at this time, not many users would be online at the same time but a "chance" chat could solve problems quicker... Or even create a "coffee room" for much banter !!

Just a thought...

hi Daz

Cheers for the feedback!

I have put some thoght in to chat rooms and the only reason we left this out was because the data in a chat room drops and gets lost (unless you store logs) as forums keeps data which helps us with google.

In a few months when we get a lot more traffic we will try and add one.

I know that I am being premature by asking this, but would you consider me to come on board as a moderator?

I do realise that I am a "Freshman" in this forum, but I have extensive experience (and contacts) in dealing with people and their issues...

I am currently a moderator on ClubPajero and it would be my pleasure to interact with other members whether it be forum or chat related.

My intension is to remain with this site for the long haul...

I am a qualified mechanic having worked on the E34, Mitsubishi Pajero, VW's, Rovers, Fords and, believe it or not, Jensen Interceptors LOL (All my own cars plus others).

My time is free of course !!! Mainly evenings and full weekends...

Pass this round your team.

Just a thought...

Sorry Dabsy,

I was waiting for admin to answer this.

There is a potential mod already in the que, not to sure whats happening with him yet though.

But the way the site is growing, I think we will be looking for more mods sooner than you think.

Hang around and Ill keep you posted.

Send me a PM in a few weeks and I'll have a word with Steve.

How about a "Retro-Fit" section too... Most, if not all, BMW's already have full looms anyway !!!

Hmm, that would make a BMW virtually "Plug 'n Play" B)

Thats Easy... Trip Computers where the wiring IS already there, I promise !! Prise the coin holder or equivelent blankin plate out and plug-in the computer!!

These are separate from dashboard information... Usually in the centre console.

It's when you add TV and the likes when you will need the Modules... But like I said, the wiring is there ! ;)

      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?
