The reason this is probably not a good idea is that the friction plates give off wear debris that degrades the oil and clogs the filter. This is perfectly normal. When you change the oil and filter you remove all this rubbish. Why would you want all this crap floating around in your gearbox instead...

You should only sweat for a little while.....isn't there some law that states you should be informed of the offence within 1 calender month.... And even then, should more than one person be insured to drive the car (and possibly been driving it that day) you can choose the Deputy Chief Constable Def...

I'm still mulling over clear lenses though............opinions ??? Just do it. You know it makes sense..... But it can't be just the front lenses, you'd have to follow with the side repeaters and then of course the rear lenses.........and that's before I decide which car..........and I suspect the ...

I'd check in under the bootlid for fixing points before even considering removal, but even if you want to take it off there will a significant difference in the patina, colour and condition of the paint in underneath the spoiler. I'd stay with it and buy the BMW rubber preservative (or another top a...

I'd like to second the use of Road Angels as a device for...........lets face it, spotting speed cameras and traps, but is there some back story that Horsetan and Dvae know about............. 110 mph is generally reckoned to be a license loser......unless you're a Policeman or a Politician.............

1985 M635CSi - my Great White Shark
Hi,
this is my 1985 M635CSi in Alpine White with Taurus Red leather. I've had it for about 8 months and it's an absolute dream to drive. Hope you approve.

Hi Joe, What's the ride like on those 18's ? Is the 225/40 profile the optimum for the rim or could you have gone a little fatter for a little more comfort, maybe a 235/45 ? Do you get much tramlining or suspension jarring over the back roads? Sorry for so many questions, but your ride looks the bus...

Chevale, That's an interesting looking spoiler you've got there - I'd hazard a guess to say an early aftermarket that's been very well thought out - cut-outs for for fog lamps, cooling intakes for brake cooling and and a big lower lip acting like a splitter. I's a real nice looking piece. Are there ...

Dead right about the K-series engine - expert analysis concluded that nearly all of the blow-ups were due to sub-standard aftermarket pieces whereas the factory bits were of the highest quality. I can't comment about having owned or overly spannered a Rover because no matter how technically good the...

Re-colouring leather
Has anyone got experience of succesfully re-colouring leather or plastic interior parts - I'm about to embark on re-colouring some rear headrests from biege to taurus red - so far I'm looking at Bradleys Plastic and Leather Finishers as (highly) recommended by a reputable local car trimmer and re-up...

Hi, Just to finish the thread off - the initial symptoms were a worsening idle and increasing fuel consumption following running quite low on fuel. The problem was eventually revealed - when the suction noise got loud enough to trace - as a split 3-way hose running from the inlet manifold to the idl...
