Try swapping the good switches over first.

There is NO centre vanity light. You have one either side in the roof and one in the L/H/S sun visor.

The hole in the roof you are probably looking at, is for the sunroof manual operation.

Just cut the metal back to clear the light. Treat the cut edge. There is plenty of metal left.

Re: S2 seats compatibility in S1?

Will Series 2 manual sport seats fit in an S1 car? Depends on how old the car is. The seats will fit but you may need to change the mounting frames. My '79 633 had a "stepped floor" and needed totally different seat mounting frames to fit. Not sure when they changed the floor structure to...

Re: Front wheel Bearings on 86 e24

Hi Ronnie,

You will destroy the bearing when you remove it so the new one comes complete with hub and bearing.

Do you have a Haynes for the E28? Excellent write-up in there on the bearing replacement.

All the best.

Ron.

I didn't realize there was a difference. What didn't fit for you? the sensor itself? or length? The post '86 items are handed L & R. with fancy grommets. The ones I got from Ivo had no grommet or plug on the end. I think that the difference is because the trailing arms are different between ear...
