MICK 330DCI

Recent work on Vert includes Water pump which if you don`t know is a doddle to fit on a 330 petrol. 45 mins job done. Rear Discs & pads then N/S front brake caliper. New bonnet & Boot struts. Front wheel bearing next when i get a better idea of which one it is? Yes i know to chuck it left right etc but it`s not 100% yet.

As title, BMW 330Ci M Sport Auto for sale. Owned 9 years & never let us down. Silver with Black heated leather. FSH main dealer & Indy 124K . 8months MOT 1 advisory for corrosion on the rear brake flexi pipe joints(pipe is ok). 1 pdc does`nt work. In very good condition bar the usual bubbling on the front wings. Alloy`s need a re furb, i left this with our pot hole winter as didnt make sense to ruin them straight away. I even have a spare front alloy just in case(comes with car).Recent water pump ,bonnet & Boot struts & Power steering reservoir. Always had Castrol or Shell oil. Gearbox service (£500) done with BMW oil & filter. Lovely quick car (Auto is Switchable to manual)& will be sorry to see it go. I`ve always maintained this car as it has to get me to an airport so if its needed something it`s been done. Has Heated Electric memory seats,Xenon`s,Cruise,Tyre PSI monitor Electric windows standard radio with 6 cd changer in the boot. Spare wheel used once. Tool kit. Tyre`s are Continental, not cheap rubbish with between 3 & 5mm left in them. Also comes with the wind jammer for when the roofs down. Brand new rear Discs(Brembo) but not fitted them yet. Nice reliable cheap fun! £3,250. Location Telford Shropshire.

Noise kinda like an exhaust knock but the exhaust is solid & ok. I`d go for rear top mounts on the shocks

Check connections on the back of the radio & in the left rear panel by the cd stack if you have one? Maybe re boot it by disconnecting the battery & see if it bursts into life? As Greydog says you need to give a bit more info Jim.

I had this happen to my mirrors recently. I gave them a gentle dose of WD40 behind the mirror & they have been fine for 3 weeks now. I only tried this because an indy garage mechanic told me never to fire a jet wash into the mirror housing when cleaning the car. Ive never done that in the 7 years ive owned it. Hopefully a cheap fix.........lol

Yes Happy New Year to you, Exactly what my Indy said. When he showed me a sample of fuel he`d poured out the fuel rail i was amazed it got passed the filter. Tbh the particles were small but even so ,very scary! This 118 was 9 years old but they had seen it on one only 5, so with Christine`s car being only 3 to 4yrs & probably? FDSH at BMW you cant really say its an age/degradation type of problem. I hope she enlightens us soon. Maybe non genuine parts have been fitted(filter) or injector work to cause this??

Wonder how she got on with this? A month ago i popped in to my local Indy & they had a 118d with the very same problem. The car was was a 2011 i think,dunno miles or history on it . I was just horrified to see the swarf in the system. They had seen it before though but in the 18/2.0L engines.

Hi Terry, To help the boffins out ....what engine petrol/diesel do you have??? Do you have actual codes?? It looks like you wrote this at 200mph so take a deep breath & start again lol. Im sure some one on here can point you in the right direction.

The 330d with 268,000 on it ...passed its MOT ! YIPPPPPEEEEEEE

Is it just me that updates this??😂 My 268,000m Touring needed a Drivers window regulator,Quite easy to fit. New bonnet cables & catches as the catches had rusted up & guides had broken which snapped the cable. A new radiator as the Hella radiator lasted 5 years before going banana shaped,didnt leak though. Trying a Nissin one this time. Bonnet catches were from a tat yard so was the window reg. cheap fixes just time consuming.

Thanks for the reply`s guy`s. In the end i have fitted a roof aerial & now i wish id done it sooner!!!!!

We all love a scary problem to turn out to be a cheap fix!!!!

Hi Mark, Did it sit right on the day the new parts were fitted??? How long have you noticed this? My guess is ...welcome to the broken spring club lol. Seems if i break wind in mine, they break! Car obviously should sit level.

Praised it & cussed it!!!! 330d went passed 264,000 tonight so praised the old gal! Got home & found the right rear wheel to be rather warm...sticking caliper maybe? so cussed it!!!!!
