Access rear drain holes.

How do you get to the rear drain holes behind the sunroof or is it just trial and error. I’m using a cable fish. Can’t see a hole anywhere.
Thanks.

Rear leak.

So before I spend in having the rear screen rubber changed, I’ve had the front done and known the cost could the wet be something else, the rear is dry but the side where you see the staining is not, could that just be a drain whole🤞 I’ve also just recently got a wet patch on the drivers side footwe...

Re: 1988 635csi starts then won't restart after running a few minutes

Mine was doing the same, had a new fuel pump last year and new relay so it wasn’t that, it was the crank sensor.

Heater only works on full.

My heater blower only works on full, so I changed the resister I think that’s what it’s called and it still didn’t work. Any ideas what the issue could be. Could it be the relay? Im stuck now.

Front electric window

Hi.

My offside front window gets stuck, the motor clicks and sometimes it goes down. I have taken the motor out in the past and know it’s a horrible job. Is there any way of greasing the motor in situ. Also the plastic cog that you use to manually move the window just spins around now.

Thanks.

ATF leak.

I’ve just got an atf leak. There’s a puddle on the floor and after topping up the reservoir it’s lost about 1/4. The brakes go flat then hard then flat and I saw a load of atf fluid spewing out when the brakes are pressed engine on coming out from the bulkhead end. I’ve had the power steering pump c...

Aerial grinding noise

Hi.

My aerial makes an horrendous grinding noise when it goes up, and it only goes up half way. Is it broke or are there any serviceable parts inside. The aerial isn’t bent at all.

Thanks.

Hi.

Which one is my fuel pump relay. I think it gone as the engine is still quitting after I’ve just replaced the fuel pump and filter.

Re: Intermittently shuts off

Thanks. I’m going to get pump and filter changed. It was flagged up last year anyway after a full service that it was on its way out, so I’m going to bite the bullet and just get it done. Cause of my location it’s very tricky for me to do it myself.
Cheers.
