Re: Opinions on exterior mod that won't be "visible"
I am considering replacing the reflectors in the front bumper side surrounds with actual lights
What's the reason? Interesting different laws in different lands. That sort of thing wouldn't be allowed over here. especially being orange/red. However we don't emission test like you guys in Cal.

Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!
Yeah you need the right hose. You mind find it difficult to get the otiker clamp tool on the hoses connecting to the filler tank neck in which case look at using fuel injection hose clamps. They pull up evenly and don't cut into the hose like a jubilee clamp. Also be aware is easy to break the hose ...

Re: Trickle Charger on Cigarette Lighter?
Is what I did above^^. Maybe isn't clear, that's a lighter socket next to the isolating switchMaybe a better solution would be to install a dedicated socket, wired directly to the battery, which could be located somewhere out of sight.

Re: Trickle Charger on Cigarette Lighter?
I've done this for a number of years now, using a C-Tek charger. See pic. Works fine and I have a modern ECU.
I do the same with my boat.

Re: Cabin Constantly Hot, Need Help
If your heater control is on full cold and your heater valve is working properly this should be regulating the water flow through your heater core.
The new "BMW" heater valve I purchased was not good. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=31277&p=223549&hili ... ve#p223549

Re: Ex LOCUTUS the fun and pain begin
Basically I followed the instructions for the 3M 90 adhesive. I didn't remove the hood, but covered everything I didn't want adhesive on. Sprayed both surfaces (one section at a time) and let dry until tacky - just a few minutes, and of course with any contact adhesive line up carefully before apply...

Have a look at these products by CorrosionX, specified by a number of high end reel manufacturers. Have good adhesion properties.

Re: What did you do to your E24 today?
The spring return was buggered in mine and I couldn't get a definitive answer on what needed replacing so replaced both the switch and the ignition lock barrel (swapped over the cylinder). From memory the spring return is in the switch. Either way it's not too difficult a job but painful. If no one'...
