Could someone with cruise control fitted please post a photo of the actuator? I know it fits underneath the power steering reservoir but before I drill the holes for the new bracket I need the exact position.

Thanks. Ron.

Just put a NRV in the line from the pump to the washers.The BMW part has one line in/two out but I put a Halfords NRV in the line and used T-pieces to connect up to the jets.

Hi Joe,I,ve got 3 studs (2 sheared and 1 seized solid) on the exhaust side of the head.I tried the mig and heating method and no way would it move.
I cut it off flush and helicoiled all 3.It's relatively easy with the head off.
I wouldn't like to try it in-situ.

Thanks for that,James. My existing hoses are not too bad but I will replace them.I'll keep the old ones as patterns in case we get enough interest to get some silicon ones made up.

Pictures of loom.

1.The multi-plugs.They definitely won't go through the gap (see 2).

One on #5 and one on #6.Someone butchered them previously!!!!

Thinking about a Fritz's bits stainless manifold.

Does anyone know of a supplier of a silicon hose set for a '89 Highline?

Hi Dave,Reason for lifting head is two sheared exhaust manifold studs. Don't want to helicoil in-situ so need to lift head. Problem with the wiring is the big loom that runs from the injection loom conduit.This runs along the top of the head alongside the fuel gallery.The big loom comes out of the b...

Does anyone know if you can lift the head complete with inlet manifold??
It's a '89 Highline.
The ECU wiring runs between the manifold and the head and the multi-plugs are too big to fit through the gap!!

Looks like I'll have to struggle with the manifold nuts (a right PITA).

Does your radio still work? It's on the same fuse.

I've got some spares.How many do you want?

The Highline chassis is different again as it has the 5 mph impact bumpers/shock absorbers.

Mainly stripped now and ready to make a start on the rebuild. Things to do: Replace front wings (having de-rusted inner wings etc.) Replace corroded air con./power steering/brake lines. Replace all drive belts/thermostat/distr.cap/rotor arm. Upgrade brakes to 750i master cylinder front calipers and ...

I've got some spares somewhere.P.M. me with a 'phone no.

You'll need to use a fly press to split them.Somewhere there is an earlier post of mine that details the refurb.procedure.
Regds. Ron.

Had mine done two weeks ago and it seems to work a treat. Basics are: 1.Remove any remaining gas using R12 rig. 2.Remove the schrader valves inside original charging valves. 3.Fit new adaptors to original charging valves. (the lower one is very close to the washer bottle) 4.Re-charge with R134 and, ...

HOT day had by all.

Thanks to James for organising it.

Thanks again.

Hi Kev, That WC1000 relay only does one window.PITA.
Cheers. Ron.

Hi Drew, The pump for the h/l washers is on the washer bottle.There should be two pumps and the one nearest the engine is for the h/ls. The power for it comes from the offside h/l motor when it moves from the parked position(that motor has four wires in the plug-the nearside motor only has three wir...

Have obtained a WC 1000 relay and unfortunately due to the circuit wiring
it will only operate one window.I'm going to try a modification to get it to
operate both front windows (not together obviously).
Will try to do a Tech. on it.

Definitely going.Any requests for parts??

Here is the link to the BMW ETK, complete with all the interchange and availability functions: http://www.bmw.com/generic/com/en/fascination/discover/history/mobiletradition/parts/parts_2_1_1.html Unfortunately registration is required and is quiet complicated if you do not speak German (but you ca...

WARNING TO ALL. Arrived home from work the other night having driven 125 miles. Nasty surprise.Nearside front wheel,spoiler and inner wing covered in oil. Initially thought it was brake or power steering fluid.When I got it into my nice new garage and cleaned the oil off everything I discovered the ...

Ah, that's where the posts got to. Thought I was going senile!!

Some early Uk 6's had non-power passenger mirrors fitted.The loom was there but no motor!!!BMW's idea of saving money.Easy way to check is take the mirror off (triangular bit of trim and three screws) and see if the mirror has wiring attached.
