Hey everyone, so on my BMW 318i Touring (E30) the drivers door wont unlock, it will lock, but not unlock. the passenger dooe won't lock or unlock the car either, and currently I have to unlock the car from the boot. It's not so much of a problem to be honest but it's just annoying to have to unlock the car from the boot every time. Has anyone else had this problem? If so have you found a solution? I've had the doorcard off to look at the locking mechanism but I don't really know anything about central locking lol. There is a connector that has nothing plugged into it but I couldn't find anything to plug into it. I'm assuming the lock barrel has been changed before because the key is different to the one which starts the car and unlocks the boot. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

      Mini One 2004 Buying Advice

      Well I ended up buying it. Bodywork needs a good pollish, and I got the front discs and pads changed at the weekend. Got the rears to do overchristmas but at least it stops now and is driveable. Fortunately it is the first cheap car I have bought where every single nut and bolt came off without much effort. Callipers slid off, pistons were nice and free, and I didn't have to take the big hammer to the discs to release them from the rust. I love people who believe in a little copperslip!!! Done a few wee trips in it and the other half has used it on a couple of longer motorway trips so far. Couple of knocks and bangs to be investigated, one of them I am sure is the exhaust. I don't like the look of the way those springs are set up on the front suspension though!!! Looks like if one of them goes then your tyre is getting mangled too!!! Thrust bearing on clutch sounds a little noisy and there appears to be some noise similar to the tappits on a mk3 escort. I'll have a good poke about on google and see what I can dig out, plus get myself the Haynes manual. No noise from timing chain which is good. All in all it's a tidy wee car for not a lot of money

      E87 Whine on acceleration

      Great advice gents, got a similar type of noise, literally started today, definite cyclic in nature so linked to the belt and pulleys and will try the WD40 first to see if I can isolate the cause of it before moving on.

      Headlight condensation

      I can confirm, no more appearance of any condensation in headlights so this is a worthy fix.

      water pump whistle

      Just started up this morning to be greeted with a real whistle which I think is coming from the water pump. Definite link to the belt as the frequency is clearly aligned with the belt and pulley speed. Is this a sign of water pump on way out or something else. I am guessing water pump, is there anything else I should be looking at to find the culprit. Literally, no sound two days ago and got this rotary whistle this morning. How long have I got?
