Sorry to anyone trying to view pics in any of my posts. I decided to sort the hundreds of pics out on Photobucket last night, and didnt think about the links to my stuff. Ill get it sorted when I get to my computer. Again sorry.

Coil overs:-) ive seen some, they got Gavs 320 writen all over them.

I've got a knocking from the front at low speed over bumps. My mechanic was 100% it was the anti roll bar drop links. Changed them this morning, still got the knocking!!! A little fustrated now, anyone else got any ideas?

I thought that. Give it a good wipe, see if its just settled on the surface though.

Welcome along. I moved from french crap too. Ill never look back. I own an 03 plate 320d, the best car i have ever had. Even with over 100k is still feels tight and new, milage aint a problem on BWW's as long as it got fsh. Ive brought a few parts recently and find its exaclty, if not cheaper than my Megane. Go for it mate, you wont be dissapointed.

Looks simular to Evo me thinks

But still noooooooo Ruined :angry:

Oh no.....oh no..oh no, you just cant

Im pretty good with the machine, I've had to use them on gloss white trucks for years now. Im just learning different products and how to use them at the moment. If I get the car fixed in the week, might go for a good exterior detail this weekend, weather permitting.

You know I've always wanted to do that, just not got the knowledge yet. I'll hold you to that mate ;) nice one

Lookin forward to the pics... Na no ramps, except the ones we fabbed up ourselves, thay get the car about a foot from the groud when is plenty enough. There pretty good at our place, we can have an hour before work and our breaks = 1hour plus Saturday mornings. Go access to mine and everyone elses tools, spray booth and lots of lads with lots of knowledge, which is good as I have only just started working on cars myself. Im going to do a full service in April then MOT, Hopfully all be mint again ready for a full detail, then Santa Pod

Nice find, brought new hand brake shoes and anti roll bar drop links today... Another Saturday under the BMW.. Looking forward to it to be honest. Might not be able to wait that long :-)... I can see me being at work an hour early tomorrow ;)

Welcome along Deano

Yeah its sounds the same, what do you use to clean and condition the leather?

Welcome along Mike

Right, paited my silver trim today because of all the scratches from the previos owner. I chose Saphier black as its the same colour as the body work. The pics are a bit poor as I took them just (in the dark), but I couldnt wait to get them up on here. Ill take some better ones tomorrow. Let me know what you think.

As Greeney said, it will never fit. Go original.

Around 30 mpg mate, not bad for a big car with a big engine.

Took me 2 hours yesterday, and a joy to do compared to myy old car. Tools Needed Jack and axel stands Breaker bar Wheel !Removed! (house bricks) Flat head screw driver Ratchet long ratchet extention bar 10mm deep socket 17mm socket 16mm socket 6mm alan key socket thingy Step 1 Slaken wheel nuts using 17mm socket and braker bar. Place wheel chocks at front wheels Jack car up and place axel stands where the rear side jacking points are. You can, however, do both sides independently... Step 2 When car is sucure, remove boot from around handbrake lever, just give it a tug and pull it upward towards the front of the car so its out your way. Step 3 Use 10mm deep socket withe extention bar to loosen the brake cable nuts until the cables are completely slack. Step 4 Remove wheels, place next to the discs to the rear of the car(for putting callipers on later.) Step 5 Remove callipers, there are 2 16mm hex bolts holding it on. Place on wheel next to you, dont let them hang Step 6 Remove discs, take out the 6mm bolt on the disc, give the disc a tap all round with a rubber mallet and the dics should come off easily. Step 7 Now you con see the shoes and the adjuster, circled below. On the right wheel, turn the adjuster down and towards the front to expand the shoes. Ont the left wheel, turn the adjuster up and towards the read to expand the shoes. Step 8 When its difficult to put the disc back on because to much expansion, take 5-8 clicks off the ajuster. Step 8 Put discs, calipers and wheels back on. Step 9 Pull the hand brake lever several times to seat the cable. Then pull the handbrake up 2 clicks. Tighten the cable tension ajustment nuts until its just possible to turn the rear wheels with a littke resistance. Release the handbrake and make sure the wheels turns freely. Step 10 Pull up handbrake and check wheels are locked. Put boot back on around lever. Lower car and tourqe wheel nuts up. Done :rolleyes:
