Radiator lower hose change
Hi the lower radiator hose on my 89 e24 has become perished and requires replacement. Is there any dos and don'ts on this job. Does the cooling system need to be completely drained or can I remove the hose and top up the system ensuring no airlocks? I have done this successfully on other cars but th...

Odometer incorrect
Hi
I noticed that my trip meter and odometer on my 89 e24 are running slow. Is this likely to be the nylon gear wear issue i have heard of on earlier e24s. Any other cause known?

Re: Uneven front tyre wear
Thanks Brucey. I really appreciate your advice. My bs alarm has been going off as well but. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a good example for comparison and knowledge of E 24s in Melbourne is very limited. The points you raise are definitely worth checking out. I will let you know how the...

Re: Uneven front tyre wear
Even though I thought I had solved the tyre wear issue by replacing some worn bushings I still have excessive negative camber causing wear on the inside edge of both front tyres. Looking at the front end with the car over a pit at the wheel alignment specialists, there is no more camber adjustment a...

Re: Uneven front tyre wear
Looking back over the very helpful post replies and given that i thought the problem was sorted, i re-read brucey's reply which offers a range of possible causes. Trouble is finding someone who knows e 24s is as rare as rocking horse shit in Melbourne. Know anyone in melb brucey?
