What the heck? OWNERS were strapped with £14,000 prosecution fees????? Why should they have to pay? Seems they got shafted a second time by the legal system.

FYI, here's a link to Daniel Stern Lighting that works. The one above doesn't.

Exactly my nightmare. Out enjoying my vintage tin and some idjit ruins it, no fault of your own.

Sorry for your loss, Rainer.

That ring of heavy plastic was to help you install the rubber boot. You use it much like the "rope trick" when installing a windshield. You start the boot into the chassis hole and pull the plastic ring through the hole. It rolls the boot lip right on to the lip of the hole.

I wouldn't buy from them, or at least not buy their"warranty". Look at the reviews. HUGE numbers of customers that needed lights replaced under warranty and no satisfaction. They are ignored by HIDNation's customer service.

Welcome, Kevin! You are already are neck deep in the madness that is restoring these icons of the 80s. I look forward to reading the whole story.

The mention of Zylene as a clean-up agent brings to mind a quart of the stuff I bought years ago. On the front of the can in large letters it said "ZYLENE"...and just below that the warning "CAUTION: MAY CONTAIN ZYLENE!" Really???
That was one of those head-shaking moments.

Ta-dah.....

Attendance this year was planned, but my wife just had a knee replacement and she needs me here. Next year!

According to the Bilstein website, both B46 0608 and P36 0233 are B6 shocks/struts.

That really sounds like a slave cylinder problem to me.

Your hubs are 72.56mm, not 74.1 as you stated. All E24s have the same 72.56mm hubs. I think you just got confused and listed it backwards.
You've figured out you need hub hubcentric 72.56 to 74.1 rings. Most tire stores carry them. Pep Boys I know has them.

Bobbo, that's rodent damage on the rear seats, I guarantee it.

A coathanger wire with a small hook on the end will unlock it when inserted between the window glass and outer seal. Put it just in front of the area a couple inches in front of the outer handle, go down about 6", turn it so the hook points toward the inside of the car and pull up. It may take a few...

Not that I could identify it, but it doesn't help that you blacked out the license plate. Just sayin....

Ignition ballast resistors normally run very hot, too hot to touch. They usually have a metal tie-down strap that doubles as a heat sink. Although the resistor may be the culprit, I would suspect the coil itself first. I've had two of them die, one in my 1987 E30, and the other in the 1984 633. Each...

Overall they are identical, fit-wise. Both end up flush with the face of the wheel.

Obviously you come to a stop before you move the steering wheel on the splines. :)

What fun is that?

I had a set on my E30, and, although they were pretty good on dry pavement, they were absolutely treacherous in the wet. They would snap loose at the slightest provocation. I'd go with the Falkens.

Yay for machinists!

Have you tapped the brakes and then pushed the reset/test button on the light test panel? That _should_ extinguish the orange triangle. Can't help with the tach other than suggest the connection is bad. I believe the tach is driven by one of the single wires that plug into the cluster.

I had a C.T. scan Monday, and a follow-up with the doctor yesterday. I got about as wonderful a report as I could hope for: no sign of cancer, come back in 6 months. After three years of scans and no reoccurrence they'll consider me cancer free.

Running hot at idle/traffic light stop/stop-and-go traffic is a sign the fan clutch is failing.
