Hi Carrie, I've got a guy looking out for a cruise control system for me.I've sent him a printout from the parts CD and there is a lot of bits.It's not just the control box and cables but all the associated brackets etc. BMW used to do a retro-fit kit but that is no longer available (?450.00)What it...

The one touch operation is done by a relay not by the switch.If you can find the relay I would like the part no.as I can then sort out a wiring circuit for the 6.Thanks. Ron.

Congratulations to kev635 for becoming a media star.Big article in BMW CAR mag.about his 635.Well done Kev.

It's easier to take the valve off the bulkhead and strip it on the bench(kitchen table etc.)

Just the valve,it's held on with 2 bolts and 2 hoses (and the plug)

Dave, There is a filter inside the heater valve that clogs up.If you take the valve off the car and undo the four screws the valve comes apart.The filter is like a mesh cone.

PM me and I'll see what I can do.Where in UK are you? Regds.Ron.

What brake fluid? Any preferences?

The h/l adjustment system is a fluid filled sealed system.As you turn the adjuster it pushes the fluid down the pipe which moves the fancy valve on the h/l. Turn it the other way and it reverses.The system is sealed at manufacture and I have tried various ways to refill and bleed it without success....

Easy job Colin. Just knock the two pins out that hold the pads in place (they go through the lugs in the pads and across a spring clip).With a lever you should be able to move the pads against the pistons and once you've got clearance,lift the pads out.Might be wise to take some fluid out of the mas...

Offer him ?2500 tops. There looks like a lot of expense to fix it!! Would there be a black High-line up for sale???

Thanks to everyone for all the info.supplied.There is certainly a lot of it!! I've got my 750 front calipers and master cylinder,just need to get the new discs and then work out what to do at the back.Having read through a vast amount of info.I see that a lot of people don't recommend using braided ...

Question: Do the 750 discs and calipers bolt staight on??

No they are not exposed cables.The inner cables run inside outer sheaths and you have to change the whole lot unfortunately.What's wrong with your existing cables? Ron.

Hi Carrie, You don't need to take the gearbox out.The job itself is a PITA to do as there is a fair bit to dismantle.From what I remember the cables were about ?30.00 each but check with Europarts/Motormec etc.It's a fiddly job as the rear discs and handbrake mechanism inside need dismantling.The ca...

Dave,.Regds.Ron. I've got some spare clips.I'll get them chromed and send them to you.

Thanks for the link Bob,but I don't intend spending $130.00 plus postage for the relay.I'm sure a relay from a later model could be used as most of the later ones had one-touch windows.It is just a case of sorting the wiring out.Thanks again.Regds.Ron.

I've got that link but it doesn't say what is required.Thanks anyway.Ron.

Some time ago someone put a topic on the Big coupe group site about one touch power windows.Basically it was a mod. to have the windows move full travel with one press of the switch instead of holding the switch until full travel was achieved.The link on the site to the originator goes nowhere now, ...

Hi Dave, Certainly looking good.What are the carbs? They look like large downdraught jobs.Keep up the good work.Is that you smiling in photo #1?

I used a 1" abrapad and fine discs and then polished with very fine scotchbrite and alloy polish.Total time for stripes and logo about 15 mins. As an afterthought I had the 4 spring-clips and the battery hold down plate and L-shaped bolt chrome plated.Looks nice!!

Still think it looks better with the lines and logo scraped and polished.

I've got two of the glass crystal models and I've always wondered if the 635 was the only model that the factory (in the former E.Germany) ever made? If you have never seen one, it is a very impressive model that has been sandblasted on the internal surface to give a sort of 3D effect for the interi...

Thanks for that link.I don't know why the one I posted doesn't link.It still comes up from my favourites menu but with a warning that I am looking at it illegally!!! The one just posted is easier to read anyway. A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year to everyone on the site.Ron.
