stripped

Hi all, I'm having an issue getting my I-drive to work consistently. When I start my car first thing in the morning everything works fine. However, when I start the car at some other point during the day i.e. after work, the i-drive reverts to German and gives only the following options...

So the waterpump was replaced, and as it was being snugged up, I think the nuts were overtorqued. The top and bottom right nuts are on and not threaded. However, the top and bottom left nuts are threaded, they will turn clockwise or anti-clockwise indefinitely. All four nuts are on though. I've...

Hi, i purchased a 2003 bmw 320i last week to fix up, it was misfiring on 1 cylinder. I removed the head to find a hole in the exhaust valve. I replaced this, got new gaskets and bolts etc and i was torquing down the head as per manufacturer specs and 1 bolt thread in the block has stripped...

I started doing my rear brakes / discs and after I had them done I thought... No problem front ones next! After five minutes I had the calipers off and thought "this is easier than the back" and that's when I screwed up. I started to attempt undoing the retaining screw and thought "um that's a...

I have a E36 1996 coupe and the car is stripped. The parcel shelf has this horrible looking compound on which I presume was used to stick the speakers/parcel shelf onto. Is there an easy way to remove this? It's like the residue you get from a sticker but it's about half an inch deep.

Some of the threads that hold on my pollen filter housing have been stripped by some careless moron. I gather that this is a common problem. My concern is that it will allow water in. Just wondered if there were any good fixes for this problem other than putting a bigger screw in.

The story with this car started when it became lazy starting, it's used as a weekend car and still had it's original battery which has covered just over 45k Miles. It had been lazy starting for the last 10-15 times but, had never failed to start. One day it was stopped, left for half and hour...

Hi all, I just went to change my front brake hoses on my e46 320d. The nut on the coupler on the o/s is completely stipped. I've attached a picture to show what I'm talking about. Does this mean that I have to get a whole new brake line installed to the master cylinder or can this bolt/thread...

Hi all, Has anyone here any experience of stripped spark plug threads? It looks like it was caused by a botched plug change by a previous owner. They have cross-threaded one of the plugs and has finally just given up the ghost, blowing out and taking the thread off the cylinder head with it...

Hi Guys I searched the first five pages on this forum's results, and it yielded nothing. I know that they are reckoned to weigh 1237kgs in stock form and I wondered whether anyone on here had built a car that was largely stripped but still road legal and if so, what did it weigh? I'm looking...

Hi guys, I thought i'd share with you all my E36 M3 Evo track/race car build. I bought the car in November and it's now fully stripped out, all sound deadening removed, heater matrix, and a/c out. We're just waiting for a couple of parts from Safety Devices and we'll weld in the cage, and send...
