I have done something really stupid. I was removing the door latch striker but I did not realise that the backing plate is not actually attached to anything apart from the two torx screws. I unscrewed the latch striker and the plate has fallen down inside somewhere. I took off the inspection...

Hi folks, This is a strange problem, but someone that knows the parts will know right away. I had a number of clunking sounds around 8 months back, that I think were vanos related. I rebuilt some the vanos units using some neat online instructions. All seemed to be going well. I was closing...

As title....do I need staggered wheels?? Will the slightly bigger offset make any difference?? I know everyone hates the wheel size questions. Don't want to miss a good deal on a new set of rims for the summer if they will fit!!!!

Hi, I have a 2 month old (2011) 320d Efficient Dynamics with 42k on the clock. I have stupidly put the service book into storage and can't get it right now. I've noticed the 'Service' message has started coming up on but, underneath on the lower panel '11,000' flashes up too. Is it telling...

I'm so mad with myself. When I came out of work today I noticed my passenger side rear door was unlocked (all the rest locked). I blipped a few times and the actuator does nothing at all, not even pulse. When I got home I locked the car and sure enough, rear door still open. In a blind fit...

Ever since my car has pulled to the left violently and I have had about 5 mechanics look at...
