  1. Faults like this really need to be heard, otherwise its guess work,Michael yours is the thrust bearing IMO
  2. Car doesnt have a Cam belt, it is a timing chain so sound fine to me
  3. Daz I work just outside Towcester ATM do you want to meet some where so i can have a listen?
  4. YES, However over the next year or so Insurance companys will ask if you have had a glass claim and it will be taken into consideration(like having a accident), Agree however Auto Glass are money making monkeys, It has been known in the past for them to bill us over £5000 for a 1980`s Porsche 911 front screen, When companys like AVG(recommend) can do the same job for £800. Shop around!!
  5. It may well do,I have only ever done a e39! Iĺ check tomorrow
  6. Two new LAMBDA sensors and a good thrash round the block, job done
  7. You only live once! Welcome to the forums!
  8. Excessive smoke,turbo wistle normal diesel check but otherwise cracking motor and the 330d does indeed make progress at a surprising rate!

  13. If its a E36 BMW then the follow applys Right Number plate lamp, Where the boot lid comes up you will see the wiring is shrink wrapped, undo this and you will find the wires have broken, easy fix, re join the wires! Lambda sensors, replace with new one(dont buy cheap ones), and on the way to the re rest give the car a damn good hard drive!! CATS work better when they are hot, Post up the emmsion readings and i will shed some light on it for you Co2 H Carbons etc
  14. Filters work well, if enough cold air gets to them,
  15. IF super tidy classic cars appear i will leave mine on the road, Gaz, il be stopping on at most pubs on route, join m6 at junction 34 then pretty much flat out down to kent
  16. Very interesting read after Dabsy post a few days back. I found out last night where to source the software to do this type of crime, however it is fair to say it is not ONLY BMW, any car with a key fob this can be done to, At a guess the tow rags are going after M tec cars and top end models
  17. !Removed! hell,not fat people in the car i guess
  18. Cant be worse than mine Dan
  19. Sometimes leaving the battery disconected can clear the fault.some times!
  20. I admire anyone who trys this as it is a total pig to do, swapping the roof is easy however trying to get rid of all the wind noise/getting the fabric tight is a right pain in the ....
