Evening - it's been a while since I last posted. I still have my car 13 years now and it's been surprisingly resilient mechanically though it's had new wings and some other rust treatment. Anyhow I have a power steering ATF fluid leak on a pipe that goes from the pump to the rack. The actual...

I'm looking at getting my first hatchback/coupe RWD car. I would love an E87 130i with hydraulic power steering but they didn't exist in 3-door form until 2007, which is when they also got electric steering. I would rather have hydraulic for better steering feel. I also wouldn't mind an E36...

I was sure my tensioners were mechanical. However, I was watching a video of 50sKid (great YouTube content and tutorials on E46s) and he made mention of the difference between the mechanical and hydraulic tensioners. The way he described the hydraulic tensioners made mine sound like they were. I...

I don't see much on the web for right hand drive manual & can't see a button on Timm's site for manual g/box. After sitting for a couple of weeks, on going to move my 840i manual, the clutch pedal went to the floor. The reservoir was empty. After an hour of open slave cylinder nipple - press...

Hello, I'm Brazilian and I speak little English. So I used the google translation tool to write that question. Sorry for the translation errors. I have a BMW Z4 convertible year 2007. Recently I left the car at a mechanic to replace the shock absorbers. After that, the soft top stopped working...

Hi, been battling this issue for a week or so now. Basically car has loud tapping sound. There's also hesitation when I accelerate. I get no response from the engine and the car just bogs down. You can also see this when its idle and the car sounds like it wants to cut out but then finds it...

Hi Guys, I have an ongoing project to get my recently purchased E46 coupe back to good condition, the last thing I need to sort is the horrible ticking of the lifters. The best way I believe is to replace them but I cant find anywhere on the web a detailed guide (Preferably with pictures) on...

Hi I have a 2001 BMW e46 330ci Convertible, I have a leaking strut and need to find another, I cant seem to find a part number or what it is actually called to enable me to search for it and BMW wont give me a part number. Can anyone help with where I might purchase a second hand or recon or...

Good day, I've just purchased my friend's lifters. All silent, in good shape. The problem is, at first he could push the rod down w/ his finger, but it got stiff and rock solid. Now, we can't move them at all. Is it safe to install them like this? Just avoiding any major disasters. here are...

Hi guy's I think hat one or more of my hydraulic tappets may be mis behaving. I was wondering if there was any specific way of testing them? Im doing a lot of work to the engine soon and the rocker cover is coming off so I may as well check them whilst it is off. Since they are only 3 quid odd...

Hi, I'm thinking of fitting hydraulic handbrake to an E36 Drift car that a friend and I are building, but I've got a couple of questions. Would plumbing the hydro handbrake into the rear brake lines affect how the rear brakes work on the foot brake? What size master cylinder would be best...
