Hey I'm kat and I live in Thurso (near John o groats).

im looking to buy a 330 (not sure what year yet) in the next few months so thought I better do some research before buying one.i had a look at a lot of BMW forums but this seems like the most friendly and has plenty of useful info.

i am in Glasgow quite often so it would be great to go to some meets in Glasgow or Inverness upwards if there are any.

I'm currently trying to learn as much as I can about cars and repairs.for a lassie I'm good at the basics,or I like to think so anyway.im a bit of a detail freak when it comes to cars and I love BMWs and American muscle cars.Any thing else you would like to know please feel free to ask : )

Welcome Kat, exactly the same here, Love BMWs and dream car has to be Elenanor in Gone in sixty seconds which in the film is said to be a GT 500 but is actually a GT350 Shelby Mustang with a body kit upgrade, other than that i think i could put up with a 1967 427 Sheby Cobra, think i might have to win the lottery first. Also would nt mind a dodge super charger.

      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

      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.
