Hi everyone, I will keep this brief, the car was purchased earlier this year for my elderly father to use for popping to the shops etc, we jokingly said it would be the last car he ever buys, sadly this has actually proven to be true as a few weeks ago he was taken into residential care as his...

Hi, General question that hopefully someone can advise on. Having just chucked on new Zimmerman discs n textar pads (made in GB now???) on the front, plus a new wear sensor as the old one was a bit crumbly and didnt allow a brake service reset. Anyhow when I rest it, it only gave me 10,000...

Hi All I bought the car a couple of years ago on the Z4-Forum and I had a lot of joy with it but decided I need something with a bit more space. So I've bought an e36 and I'll be after something a bit cheaper to replace the Z4. From buying it in August 2017, the car has since covered just over...

Hi all Unfortunately I am going to have to depart with my Avus blue, 1998 (S) 328. After losing my job to ill-health last year and only being able to work part-time currently, I can no longer afford to run the car and pay for the work she needs doing. I have had the car for 6 years and put...

Hi All, I have imported an E65 740i from Japan to the UK and have been using NCS Expert to try and change the odometer and other settings etc from KM or KMH to Miles and MPH. I have downloaded the Kombi module settings and updated those settings from KM etc. to Miles and then written it back to...

I'm looking at buying a 535D touring to replace my poor old banger of a mondeo, and I'm finding that there's a bit of a pivot at my budget (£6000 + any tradein tops), which is basically that going LCI is adding on roughly 50000 miles. My budget just isn't going to stretch to a sub-100000 LSI no...

Hi, I have the common quacking problem with the Egr pressure convertor so I'll need to take the manifold off to get to it. Since I'm already removing the manifold should I do the swirl flap blanking at the same time? The car has done 85k miles with regular(5k) engine oil changes since i had...

Hey all, Going to be loitering (already have been going by my pre-existing account on here!) and checking out a few bits for my new daily which is a 2003 325ci. Not the best condition but it all works which is what counts on this car although I'll end up tidying up a number of bits :) The...
