cam

Hi all, E46 318i 2003 I'm looking to replace a cam shaft sensor again. I swapped one for a genuine used on a few years back. Only thing is, now when I'm looking on euro car parts, eBay or anywhere else all of the sensors now seem fatter? The original ones (that i took off) have a fat base...

I have a xtrons unit, this years model, finally fitted a usb dashcam and reverse camera, both eBay purchases, but both not gone well. First the dashcam only works with its own crappy app which has a silly 2 minute loop, is their anyway to get to work with default and other apps, am I missing...

Morning All, hopefully you can assist me as my beloved 330d M sport manual cam chain has recently died. Am currently looking at all options I.e. replacement engine or new car (another Bmw). Has anyone done this or know of someone and are there any good garages that can undertake this with a...

Hi all! My E87 with N46 engine (120i) started showing the amber engine light. A fault code readout shows p0366 (2b63) camshaft sensor, exhaust. A sensor replacement made no difference. Cleaned the vanos and swapped position - no difference. The car starts and runs as usual. The car has done...

Hi guys, bought a E46 yesterday and now it won’t start. Scanned and got codes P0343 and P0338. I pulled the two sensors out inlet and exhaust and it fired up. But then once you turn it off it won’t start again just cranks over but not firing up. Any ideas? I’ve ordered a new sensor but not sure...

bought a bimmer a few weeks ago, paranoid about it being hit when parked especially. Can anyone recommend a dashcam for my 440i which looks roughly OEM, and will quickly activate and record if it detects a bump at all? how much would BMW charge to fit their own dashcam you reckon? if i shopped...

Hi everyone, I haven't managed to locate any threads on this topic on the forum and was hoping any fellow F10 owners might be able to offer some advice. I am looking to purchase a front and rear dash cam system for my 520d 2013. I've narrowed it down to the Mini 0906, and will be looking to...

Hi guys, Looking at getting a dash cam soon and narrowed it down between Thinkware f800 pro or blackvue DR750S-2CH. Ive decided on the Thinkware as it is better for the parking mode and had problems in car parks etc. Does anyone have either of these? This needs to be hardwired to the car and...

Today I am installing a Yi 2.7k Ultra Dash Cam - but I’m not going with the dangly-wires and a plug poked in the cigarette lighter socket, no we are going advanced here with the additional features of: •The camera will stay live for 8 minutes after the car is locked •The video files can be...

We know that the usual fitting of a dash cam means removing bits of trim and poking wires all over the place - unfortunately fiddling with any trim on the E31 means that trim is going to disintegrate and you can't replace it for love nor money. Well, here's a way that means no trim removal - and...

Hello, I am planning on hardwiring my dash cam to the fuse box using the following add a circuit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Add-A-Circuit-Fuse-Holder-Standard-20amp/dp/1550063146/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1437686545&sr=8-4&keywords=piggy+back+fuse My plan is to wire into cigarette lighter fuse so...

I have just had in, a 4.4 V8 Individual for a full service and I thought I might share with you what to look for when changing the plugs. I have attached pics taken from the work done. Firstly, remove the square plastic covers inserted over the 2 10mm bolts that hold the coil cover on and then...
