Re: Engine Died when put in Drive

I might have assess to another crank position sensor to diagnose, I'm guessing the two of them are the same senors just reading different things?

Jacking Points

Hope this is in the right section..

I need to get my 87 635 off its weight on all 4 corners while I remove my rear sub frame and suspension so I can paint and redo the bushes. Front is fine but where can I place axle stands at the rear without going through the floor?

Thanks,

Fog Lamps Only Working on One Size

Hi All,

So on my 87 635 I have the right side fog lamps working and the left side is not, I have checked the bulbs of course and still no good. I have looked at BMW parts and looks like there is a relay for them but would replacing that help?

Thanks,

Tom.

Interior Lights

Hi, So sometimes when I shut the doors the lights go off, either straight away or after a few seconds, and other times then wont turn off. When they are working you can hear a click sound around the glovebox which I'm guessing is caused when the doors press in the button next to the hinges. Seems to...

Re: Jumping Gears at Speed

I have been playing around with this and still no luck, It has started holding on to revs for ages before changing gear but if I lift my foot slightly it changes up so I'm guessing the TPS is requiring replacement.

Thanks Brucey, and yes it a 1987 non highline, first registered on 01/08/1987. Most the brands I see for these lowering springs lower it by 35mm currently looking at a set that lower it by 30mm which are below, is that 'too low' more to the point I dont want to be grounding out :) http://www.europer...
