Willo

a link to the ebay auction would be useful

Pangster I was the same with the searchs at first :oops: Can't believe you didn't check the bulbs at the dealer :head: lol all that research goes to pot when you get excited about a car eh (I missed the spot welds on mine :dunce: ). At least DIY and not expensive and you know they will last when don...

Jonttt

Drewsif Welcome to the forum :pc Re the spot welds in the boot have a look at this recent thread, they are easy to spot (excuse the pun :lol: ) just lift up the boot carpet and look for a row of spot welds towards the back especially on the left hand side under the front edge of the CD changer (if t...

Better than that here is a pic for the ///M Item no. 4 on picture part number 62142491476 http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=CK92&mospid=48084&btnr=62_0288&hg=62&fg=05 Nb. the actual part looks slightly different than the pic but has the correct part number stamped on it :...

Jonttt

Very common colour LOL

Jonttt

Mmmmmm not sure that would potentially have a couple of issues

1. Would gps receiver pick up as clear a signal without direct line of sight with roof up

2 led warning light would not be in peripheral vision so you would have to take your eyes off the road and consciously look at it

Jonttt

Looking good Katie.

I hope your good fella gave you a hand

Jonttt

Sods law regarding weather but best way to get to know a new car is by washing it

My mate picked up an 09 plate Saturday and its so filthy it already does not look new, he is gutted

Jonttt

Thought I would also post some screenshots of the PC Manager Software which is rather good and seems reliable, connecting to my unit every time so far and updating without any hitches. Customisable setting re how unit warns you as well. (ie would expect some cheap and cheerful unreliable software fo...

Pictures of stealth install - control unit hidden in Glove Box, warning LED easily visible whilst driving without being distracting Only a couple of problems experienced 1) the GPS module is just too big to fit through the hole in the Glove Box where the locking clasp is. Solution was to fit through...

I'm hoping your too busy driving around with a big grin on your face having picked up your new car today

anyone wanna know what's been done?

Rochey, could be a poll but I think the answer will be YES

Jonttt

I agree. Its important to get a "feel" for prices, especially in this climate but that should help you find the right car for you at the right price. You will always find cars more/less expensive than you have paid but each car is slightly different and one car with be worth more than anot...

Guys Not sure if this would be much help re originality of windscreen glass but I believe 95% of all automotive glass is made by Pilkingtons Glass subsiduary "Triplex" in the good old UK. Most of this glass is shipped to Europe and around the world. You should see a branding on the glass w...

Finally got around to sorting my new key out. Had it cut for £4 and changed over internals in about 2 minutes. Did not need to do any modifications, circuit board and immobilisor transponder both fitted perfectly. Works a treat :D If you compare to OEM key you can tell not quite as good quality but ...

Jonttt

mmmmm I'm 6 ft and can see the speedo Ok, I just have the seat all the way down. Obviously 2 inches makes all the difference :wink: But I have the same problem with the drivers side wing mirror. I had a massive blind spot just where you don't want it especially on motorways when joining from slip ro...

Ross No done the install yet, the part is sat in my boot :bawl: Will get around to it when weather is a bit warmer, I'd rather not know what temp is at moment as might stop me dropping the top 8-) I need to remove drivers front wheel and wheel arch liner to get to it, been doing mods in the cabin un...

Jonttt

I know a few people he looked into the new Z4 but as soon as they realised the size of he boot with the top down they did not take any further. I think this is a major turn off for people Why would you buy a convertable to take on a weekend jaunt in summer and have to leave the roof up to get your l...

Jonttt

or you could buy the USB Wireless Receiver and just plug in for £8

Boysie wrote:Hi

Is it a front strut or rear......

Boysie, its a front I got off eBay. I would have loved the strong strut but could not justify the cost with current exchange rate

Having said that I'm chuffed to bits with it. Car does feel more rooted cornering with it on

Jonttt

Thats great news Boysie

You have to remember there are a lot more cars out there without the problem than with.

At least knowing it could happen allows people to keep an eye out for early signs.

Sun out here too, time to try out my new strut brace

Jonttt

Well got my car back from BMW and had chance to fit today. Works like a dream :D Installation took me about 2 hours and ended up needing to drill a small hole at the side of the fog light switch to fit the LED but end result is very neat and subtle. You would not know it was there when the light is ...

Great photos but I can't believe you had the roof up

Jonttt

D-Reame Looks like a very professional job there. I'm not that clued up on speakers but was thinking of something similar for mine at the front anyway. I was going to upgrade the speakers all round moving the tweeter to the dash as you have (I did this many years ago with great results), just upgrad...

Jonttt

ps I bet she is going to be really shocked by the amount of posts this question has generated

Would have been quicker to call round and do it for her

Jonttt

However I can't find outdoor cable which already has ethernet connectors attached. Has anyone got any idea where I can get one? Cheers P :wink: People you seem to have lost track of the original question. If all P is looking for is a long cable with ethernet connectors either end why not buy the ca...

estocks we are both interpreting the original post differently, I'm sure Whiteminks will ellaborate for us soon but I interpreted as : Router is in study needs to get wireless signal in front of house (so I presume the study is in the back) if router put in kitchen can get good signal to front of ho...

Jonttt

I read the originl post and interpreted that wireless signal could not cover the house from the current location. However, if it was moved to the kitchen it could but that would mean running a cable from the kitchen to the current PC as it is not wireless and needs to stay in the same room. So easy ...

Jonttt

Looks like he's been skimping on the servicing. All the services since 2005 have been over the 15,000 mile limit. The last one was at 19,500 - not good. Pingu, one of the advantages of the S54 engine is increased service intervals. ie approx 15,000miles /12months against approx 7,500miles with the ...

guys whats wrong with an £8 USB wireless adapter? Surely you can't get easier and cheaper than that

Cool, will do

Jonttt

Paul Thats not good :head: BMW UK may have set a rule that they will not offer this repair free of charge on cars over 10 years old. I think there would be a very good legal precedent to challenge this but I'm no lawyer and someone would have to be willing to pay for legal advice. I would speke to t...

Jonttt

Guys I need a lesson here and I'm sure there are others reading this who have not got a clue what offsets mean but are too shy to ask

Can you give a thicko explanation for me

Jonttt

BMW are ajoke, they aren't even interessted at looking at our car cos its over 10 years old Paul, You need to get BMW UK to instruct them to inspect. If BMW don't play ball with your email then put your concerns in writing and say that if you do not get a written response within 7 days you reserve ...

Boysie Remember this is a stress related failure caused by the Differential transferring drive form the engine to the rear wheels and the associated torque stresses generated. The first signs are spot weld failure /differential bracket cracking. The failures get worse with eventually the cross membe...

Jonttt

Access points / extenders / repeaters would only be needed if you can't find anywhere in the house to place the router that would cover all the areas needed.If you can find somewhere (which the kitchen seems to be) then better just to site the router there. There are less things pluged into walls us...

Jonttt

PVR Not if the socket is not currently being used. You only tend to get 2 filters supplied with your router :wink: From memory you only need the filter connected to sockets you are connecting a telephone to. The router does not actually need the filter (I am rusty myself with these things). Therefor...

Jonttt

I'll remind you of that statement when she asks you to help her move

Jonttt

I agree with PVR. Would be a lot easier, cheaper, neater just to convert your PC to wireless. Test you can get a wireless signal on the laptop in that room first though. Stick to a well known brand so you know the drivers will be updated etc such as this one http://www.digidave.co.uk/jshop/product.p...

There is another one on Pistonheads. Has been on there for a while and they have just dropped it from £14.5k to £12.5k.

Well picked up a strut brace from eBay for £103 including postage. (I beat DaveRave by 2 seconds before end of the auction :D ) Was advertised as brand new OMP for 6 cylinder Z3's. No OMP identification marks so can't confirm make and was not brand new. Had obviously been fitted to a car at some tim...

Jonttt

How cool.

I still have not seen one in the flesh

I have tried to talk my boss who is a car nut into getting one but he must be the only person I know that does not like them

He has some disgusting coloured supercars and won't even look at a classic

Jonttt

Zim Having driven my fair share of supercars the S50 M is about as good value for £ as you can get. I bought mine to have fun in and that is exactly what it delivers. Any car with this sort of power needs respect and part of the fun of owning is finding the cars limits safely in all driving conditio...

And here are the docs I received as promised.
