if all of the locks have not been changed at some point.........

That ^^^. My '84 633 has three different lock tumblers. Driver's door takes one key, ignition another, and trunk/passenger's door a third.

I believe you could eat off of any part of that car. It's just immaculate.

Crack the bleed screw, leave it open, and try to push the rod IN. If it won't move, the piston has pushed out of the bore, and the accordion sleeve is all that's holding the rod in place.

The dipstick tube has probably moved upward out of the block. Not out completely, but up enough to render the dipstick reading erroneous.

It's the ground ("earth") for that light, not the power.

Just had the second treatment of the second round (6 in 6 weeks, this was number 2). I tolerated it better than a week ago. Side effects of the first treatment hit me a few days ago. "Flu-like symptoms". Yeah, I'll say! Hey, if it kills the cancer, that's a small price to pay. It's a little awkward ...

This time with pics...

Uh.....nope.

Because they don't make your hands dirty?

The good (as I see it): much greater capacity.

The not so good: height adjustment by pin-in-hole.

From having used both, I can tell you the screw-adjustable stands are MUCH easier to use.

Grabbed the picture from eBay. Here's the listing: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F263703037461 You have to saw a corner off to get it to fit the OEM heatsink/mount, but it definitely helps. I've always thought the original mount was a pretty poor hea...

I was going to suggest an additional heatsink, too. This one works at the original mounting position with a little modification.

Good to see you posting again, Song. I'd thought you were gone for good.

Is electronic malfunction the new rust?

I think that statement is more profound than you realize. It is quote-worthy.

Yes, the sensors are the same. And the socket head cap screws are each supposed to have a washer. One got lost sometime in the distant past. It's easy to drop one (or the screw and washer, for that matter) while trying to place the screw in the sensor.

Any idea on price?

Are you sitting down?





$765 for the OEM tank....plus shipping.

His tool tray doesn't appear to have the recess for the sunroof tool. It should be between the pliers.

Interesting. What does the stock tank weigh in at?

21.6 pounds, according to the on-line info (Realoem.com)

Maybe none of these experts have tried swapping E36 seats into an E24. I'm not claiming to be an expert by any stretch if the imagination, but we as a group tend to not reply to questions we don't know the answer to. MOST E24 seat swaps involve seats from other BMWs of the same era (E21s, E30s, etc....

Yes, the images are showing now. Thanks! Can't help with identifying the air dam, however.

You may be seeing the images in your posting, but we aren't.

Re: shipping by Greyhound. I'm sorry you've had such poor experience with shipping by The Dog, but that hasn't been my experience at all. I've shipped and had shipped seats, tires, wheels, and large parts (head, oil pan, rocker/valve cover). The items have always arrived in a timely fashion. 4 days ...

Thank you for posting the solution. So many times on other forums the fix is never revealed. Bigcoupe members seem to be much better about closing out discussions with what cured the problem (s).

That's exactly the result I'm hoping for. It's good to hear of someone that had a successful outcome. Thank you.

Here are the other 4 pictures, since the available space for the forum has been increased (BIG Thanks to the Admins!!)

Lefty loosey, righty tighty.

CCW to remove, CW to install.

Had the follow-up with the doctor after a biopsy a week ago. The cancer is still there. I start another cycle of 6 chemo treatments, one a week for 6 weeks, next Monday, then another biopsy at 8 weeks. They didn't do more resections to remove the cancer, because it's in the lining. If the chemo does...
