Hi Guys and Gals,

Looking to buy new car for work for about £2000, before I upgrade, would appreciate feedback as to what car you think would be good, need reliability most important, mpg another consideration,

all ideas and suggestions warmly welcome, that is why I love car clubs, we can all help each other, all my previous Beemers have been reliable, biggest expense paid out for a set leads from a main dealer

they looked good in blue, but cost over £70 from main dealer, other than tyres. Any ideas to any good places in Sussex, but I am willing to travel for a decent car, thanks my BMW family and friends,

would looking for lower mileage car, as do high mileage, look forward to your replies, much appreciated in advance (if I haven't heard anything by this Christmas, I guess no-one wanted to help a fellow member/friend) lol

Kindest Regards

Alan :D

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.

      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
