Can't help with the guide but the flexible rubber boot from the door to door pillar is part of the door wiring loom.

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.

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 ...

Have used lots including sump and bell-housing. Is a quality product and best paint for the job

I also use the Autosol - just apply by hand using bare fingers or latex gloves Once I have a good shine I then apply a 2-3 coats of Poorboys https://www.poorboysworld.co.uk/shop/poorboys-world-wheel-sealant/ I tried using the mops as Don mentioned, but gave that away as the paint on the centres will...

The famed Chris Wright?

That's interesting as I always thought the last 3 digits were month and year of manufacture

Maybe a better solution would be to install a dedicated socket, wired directly to the battery, which could be located somewhere out of sight.

Is what I did above^^. Maybe isn't clear, that's a lighter socket next to the isolating switch

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.

very nice

good job

Do you mean as in for sale?

Good stuff Drive it like you stole it

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

I've got a couple of these https://goodnature.co.nz/products/a24-rat-stoat as every winter they invade the woodpile and have got in under the roof space before, and we no longer have a cat. They are NZ made, but you may have something similar. They automatically reset, with bait and gas cylinder las...

See below, posts from Brucey and Ron http://bigcoupe.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4875&p=33163&hilit=removing+mirror+glass#p33163 I did this a few years ago. You have to be a bit brutal and careful at the same time. I used a putty knife. Be careful not to damage the rubber boot. You'll need a good...

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.

You could go for something like this (hydro dipping) https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/showt ... ?t=1511221

Nice wheels. I think shadow chrome would look better on your car but is very subjective.

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'...
