Hi guys

I have a 2001 pre facelift 320 D.. looking to upgrade the rear lights to LED lights similar to the M sport coupe versions... found this website used a couple of time here referenced for selling good quality products, saw a couple of people say that the after market ones can look nasty..? But just wanted to make sure these were okay before committing to purchase ... heres the site

Nice ! Usually referred to as "Crystal" or "Jewel"... Don't let them fit 'em coz its only a hand-full of 10mm's to remove then swap !!

You'll find many on Ebay too ;)

So these ones shouldn't look nasty... I have seen a few people on here say some after market ones can look nasty.. but surely they're the same as the originals!? So tempted to buy them right now but not sure!

Yep the computer wont like it.

Either live with the warning lights on dash and refit old lights for MOT

Or

Buy a converter kit

      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.
