Hello all,

Just signed up this morning and looking forward to lots of interesting reading.

Well, after owning two 8 series, and also running a 530d tourer for the wife, i've succumbed to a (very nice) 2000 750iL. Drives spot on, with FSH and only 95,000 on the clock. I will be posting in other sections as i need advice on towing with it. Are they any good?

Also, anything to look out for or check in these early stages?

Thanks guys and gals...

Pete.

Hello mate, Welcome to our community

LOVELYYYY motor mate, Get some pics up!

Only advice I have is to give her a good service regardless of what the history says. You want that lump in tip top condition :) O' make sure the bushes are good on the front as the engine is heavvvvy and pushes on them quite some

      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.
