The other day my car was acting strangely. Dash lights were on and off, lights and windows were working/not working. It seemed random. It even started affecting the fans and I got a overheating so I shut the car down and requested recovery. AA worked out that the alternator was overcharging...

The cable snapped on my driver side window today - 320cd. Began to strip it but need to get my hands on a new regulator Monday. Should I shell out for an original (I haven't managed to price one yet but am assuming they are expensive) or get an aftermarket regulator? I would be interested to...

Hi All today whilst driving the red battery warning came in with charging fault also being displayed in the Idrive. As a new battery was fitted 3 weeks ago I checked the voltagE on the battery with the car running and it showed 11.8v it also read 11.8v at the alternator lead on the back of...

Morning all! I’ve been getting the odd ALTERNATOR FAULT warning come up every now and then on my ‘06 730d so I decided to buy a new voltage regulator. I thought it would make sense to spend £40 on this to see if it rectified the problem before shelling out £300 on a new alternator. I came to...

Hi all. My car wouldt start the other day, and i turns out the problem is a defect O-ring on the high pressure diesel pump, pressure regulator. It only gives me approx 100bar rail pressure when cranking. Does anyone know the specifications on this particular o-ring? the origin seems to be green...

Hi all I need to replace the above on my E60 530d. It's started making a rhythmic twice per second beating sound ... with an occasional 'rasp'. It's mounted on the side of the engine on the passenger side (UK RHD model), tucked away under the inlet manifold. Has anyone had any success...

Thanks in advance for your time, to read and hopefully enlighten me with a little more knowledge. Background: My BMW 328i E6 1997-8 (which i have treasured and runs beautifully and not probably driven to max capacity like all the enthusiasts here ;) ) has been through the mill ever since i...

Morning all, I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to fitting stuff to my car. I've got the best intentions but seem to possess 2 left hands when it comes to my motor ? I've got a new window regulator to fit to.the rear passenger window. Is it a job worth attempting myself or should I leave it to...

Hi Guys i'm new to this so hopefully I am posting in the right area. I am looking for a tutorial on how to replace the window regulator on my 2013 f21. I have taken the door panel off and i'm down to the bare door frame however, I do not want to take anything else off without knowing what I am...

Hi guys another load of e90 parts. It's mostly stuff from stripped out drivers side doors from a saloon and stuff from the bonnet. There are also badges, rear ashtray, mirror glass, various grommets and bolts, a track rod and door looms. Reply or PM Prices are not set in stone but they are all...

As the title says, I've just fitted a new regulator and motor in the rear drivers side door. It was working fine yesterday after fitting but I had run out of time to fit the door panel so I've gone out to fit it today. Double checked to make sure the window was still working right and then...

Had a nightmare with this job but finally got it sorted, about 12 months ago the oem reg failed on me and i replaced it with a cheapo one off ebay which caused issues with the window catching on the pillar so this weekend i decided to buy a better quality reg from ecp and fitted that only to...

I'm sure the mystery is easily solved by the experienced members of this forum but for the life of me I cant find out - using google at least - where the hell the fuel pressure regulator is located on my car. Some sites suggest its under the passenger side floor, others say inside the fuel tank...

BMW E34 1995 right rear power window regulator repair. Hi, There is a broken plastic piece in the track that is bolted to the door. I cannot tell what it should look like because the track is facing the outside. The glass tilts and jams when you try to raise it. I guess it is some sort of...

G'Day Guys, I am sure this topic has been addressed many a time, but I've just "repaired"my front passenger window regulator and thought I would let anyone know who is that is interested that instead of using plastic cable ties I used stainless steel ones to perform the repairs. I have read on...

Hi I hope someone can help me. I need a window regulator. But every time I search for one with my car specs, it gives me a regulator that doesn't look like the one the garage man took off. I think my car is e46, though searching for e36 gives me a regulator that looks like mine. But i,m not...
