I have just fitted a new oil breather. I have fitted the new vortex one In place of the toilet roll type that was fitted.

I fitted separated votex part by just dropping it into the hole in the manifold then fitting the housing part over the top and bolting down. Now just thinking about it,should I have used part of the old filter housing to hold the vortex part into the new housing I got. As there was nothing with the new breather to hold the two parts together.

I would appreciate some quick advise incase I have to take it apart before any damage may accure.

Regards Ray.

      Inherited an R56? 2009 ONE

      Well… we have a freind at church who has been struggling with the car and I haven’t ever had time to look at it. So, we upgraded the Peugeot to a Porsche and felt it right to gift her the Peugeot. in return, I have taken the mini and intend to spend some time on it before gifting it to someone else who needs a car. drove it home and it had more lights than Blackpool.! spent an hour or so tinkering and I have got it down to two issues. The air filter needs replacing and it is showing a code of 2983 inlet cam sensor. im going to order me a Bosch one and hopefully the engine will run a lot better… after its had a tank of redex! any other suggestions or things I should look for?

      Need help identifying burnt part

      Morning Dan Welcome to the Forum As it isn't a BMW Part I am not sure there will be help here, unless a member on here has come across the same issue Maybe Google to see if there is a Harmon Kardon Forum to see if they have more information Good Luck Dave

      1996 750i

      Following further conversation with the owner, he has corrected me to say its a September 1995 model. 5.4ltr V12 SWB. Apparently there were very limited numbers of this model in right hand drive. Any interest of advice please let me know.

      X1 gearbox service

      Morning Cornel Welcome to the Forum Your Gearbox is ZF GA8HP45Z which I believe ZF advise should be serviced every 60 to 100000 km dependent on environment and use (Climate Towing etc) If you feel like teasing your local BMW Dealer service manager ask him if it's sealed for life why do BMW have a gearbox service kit on their parts list 😅 Transfer case is ATC 35L Personally if it is running well and at the low miles you have it isn't an urgent priority. 12 years is a stretch I would look for a good Independent or better a ZF Transmission Specialist if you can't DIY Dave

      Need help identifying burnt part

      Need help identifying burnt part on water damaged Harman Becker amplifier. Part # 9320214 - model BE B220. I am trying to repair this unit and one component is burnt beyond recognition. It has 4 pins and is SMD package. Attached are pictures of where the component is on the PC board. If anyone has an amplifier that is model BE B220 or similar and could take a high resolution picture of the component so I can get the SMD code from it I can look it up.
