Only the Engine and the Electrics and the Body and the suspension. Everything else is bulletproof..

I have a a crack in the rear light cluster that lets water in.. So every now and then the computer tells me there's a brake light fault... But i have tried to change this light cluster but everyone i get hold of is different even if i get one from a car of the same age make and model... i could on the upside open a second hand bmw right hand side light shop if any ones interested

Hi Ben, Cannot understand how the same make, model and year is a different cluster, unless the place offering the light cluster is giving it from a coupe or something else, but you could put a silicon or something similar to prevent the water getting in, good luck.

well this is the problem ive had... my light cluster has 1 extra pin compared to all the others... Its obviously something to do with the computer.. I took one from a 325 with the same connector but that didnt work lol..

The silicon sounds a great idea.. ill give it a whirl

      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.
