Many thanks folks, won't be touching that any time soon!!!

Hi folks Apologies if this has already been posted.... I have an oil leak from a mystery bolt, which appears to be on the lower timing case (red arrowed in two attached pics). I reckon it's probably a simple gasket change but I don't want to crack the bolt without knowing what its for, especially if...

Not quite TV but in the Rockstar GTA series of driving games, their classic cars get renamed and the E24 is now an Ubermacht Zionist!

Holy toot, new pressure switch and the light goes out! Wasn't expecting that at all. Huge weight lifted here and many thanks for all the replies, cheers folks...

Thank-you so far chaps, very much appreciated.....

Hi folks Not been here for a while so apologies if I've missed this recently. My oil pressure light has been gradually taking longer to go out on initial start, sometimes up to 10 seconds. Accordingly I've not used it for a while & a trusted friend who owns a small engine shop wants to pull the ...

Hey folks

Saw a red MkII 635 on the A96 in Elgin (North Scotland) exactly like mine!! Didn't get a chance to stop or talk to him but got a couple of pics, reg C43 GVR.

Saw them at Murrayfield last night - awesome!

Remapped A6 Quattro 3.0, boy it's quick...

Not nearly as much pleasure though!

Christ, they've destroyed another one, the film Olympus Has Fallen - minute 24.....

Further to this, can anyone supply a diagram of what wires feed into the rear of the cluster please?

A6 Quattro Avant 3.0 diesel - remapped to about 400 lb/ft - woohoo!

+1 on the pic - exactly where I found mine!

+1 on the lockwire, what I did subsequently!!!!

Ron it's a while since I had it all in bits, is it a big job?

Here's the thing, wish I'd have thought to swap out the ABS rings as now I think I have a broken one. How big a job is it?

Fazerman, gimme a shout if you come north, three owners in Inverness area be pleased to see you!

Hey folks, think I have a broken ABS ring at the rear, I seem to recall its a pig to swap out - any ideas?

Cheers

Sorted - think a PO may have bent the plate next to the gear lever where the cable sheath anchors to the car meaning the inner cable then presented to the termination on the gear lever at an odd angle. A dogleg in the cable may have seemed like a good idea at the time where getting the angle of the ...

Yeah, thanks Chris - I did. Part number in catalogue matches dealer matches printed on old cable matches new cable. Hmmm.

The new one is identical, even the ferrules (end clamps) are exactly the same - just the dogleg....

Ahhh, slight buggeration: New cable arrived but its straight - old one has a dogleg! About an inch from the cable terminus at the gear lever end is a 120 degree bend in the solid cable, I presume to position it correctly to enter the cable outer sheath which is bolted to the car, ie has no flex. If ...

Found it - surprisingly easily discovered that the cable is in fact a rod and has snapped - ?23 from BMW. Result!

Hi folks

1986 635CSi with a 3HP - never had a problem til tried to select D and nothing! Very little resistance on the selector which makes me think breakage / cable.

Any ideas guys?!?!?!?

Yup, I can personally vouch for Bilt Hamber - wonderful stuff. Kept rust at bay in areas of mine for 4 years so far!

Waxoyl brill too but be careful if you apply it to a cavity that might need welding in the future as you've then got a potential fire risk....

Hey folks My insurance company (Footman James in UK) is asking for verification of my car's worth via "car club official / restorer / valuer / specialist dealer". I live in North Scotland wihich makes things a bit harder, any ideas? Anyone know of someone in that bracket that'd proffer a p...
