Well, it worked for me on their online site just now. Available with discount for ?164.70 including free delivery Now that is very odd, I have just put in the part number of the one I bought and it brings it up at ?220, and no discount. What's your trick? I think I had not found it before because i...

Is the fuel flap central locking working? You may be hearing this and not the boot lock.

I recently got a shiny new one from Euro Car Parts. It was ?208 (including VAT). Not in the sale unfortunatly because (I think) it is not an online part and the sale only applied online. My old one was completely shot inside having sat for over 10 years. The old fuel I poured out was brown with lum...

Thanks,

Euro Car Parts sell them for about ?160. They recently had a 25% off sale - maybe its still on?

It looks as if it may fit over the correct part? Its not some sort of water- or dust-proof cover is it?

So is the general feeling that this is a wrong-un? I'm only 10 miles away and was thinking about having a look.... Worth a bid at all? Certainly, but if it was me, I certainly would not consider the expected sale price to be anywhere near what they are quoting. Buy it for a song, replace the Highli...

Thanks, Ron. Well, looks like another car with ..."a story to tell"? It appears to me that its had a replacement engine, so the claim by the auctioneers of 72k miles rings a little hollow. Am I being too "anorak-ish" by questioning the sense in changing a car's interior? Why do t...

I just found some pics of #194. They show a black interior, alpina wheels and red painted door handles. I do not have a pic of the rocker box cover unfortunately. So is this another radically changed M635 :-k Does anybody have any further info?

UK "M" For sale by auction on 3rd September.

I was wondering if this is the same car we discussed last year (194?) It certainly has the wrong engine & interior and has been "Shadow-lined".

So afer all this, it appears to be just loose conenctions for the wiper control relay. With the ignition on and turn signals and wiper switches on, I can make these go on and off just by jiggling the wires to the relay.

Not massively difficult, but will take you a day or so. Easier with a pit or lift & a transnission jack. You'll have to remove the exhaust first. look out for the "star" bolts around the top of the bellhousing. You'll need a special socket to fit with a long wobble bar. Be careful that...

The auction finished at ?4k, but I must admit that I am surprised it went so high when MOT'd & up and running cars are not making ?5k :-k The vendor said he had had some viewings, so maybe it was one of them? I wonder if it was mis-described in the listing and it was far better than indicated? W...

Looks to be in excellent condition. Obviously will cost a fair bit to export it to a LHD country. Why not buy it and convert it to RHD?
