Wow you didnt even need to buy dabsy a drink for him to give his phone number out,working on thd "how easy are you" dabsy.i wish you were female and I met you when I was 18.

Welcome

Chris No such thing as a right off(unless its burnt out) just varying amount of work increases! How bad is the rover?

Agreed if the car hasn’t been driven for a while, clean the cap up, and go give the car a 40 minute drive, Then take the cap off, if it mayo again the news isn’t good,, if it isn’t it may just be a bit of damp drawn into the oil

I have no idea what the silly woman is thinking, The Falklands want to be British, as they have been since 1833. Sexist comment, but see this is what happens when you give a woman some power,

Im sure thats clutch? good to hear its running! Dabys wait until i tell the story of the blown head gasket on the E30 in Milan and the drive home..... one for the pub meet!

Steve You will be amazed what a good run around the block will do!, make sure the levels are correct and give it a good old run!, it will free the brakes up a treat. Then get it MOT Get it insured on its VIN number And of course go to the DVLA and wait for the idiots there to reg you car on UK plates and charge you accordingly. Photos of the car are need , be interesting to see a USA spec e36

In short, what are you doing?

If the grade correct, Nothing

.... See I miss this, I used to have the time and the energy for larking around in the snow messing. Now marriage and family buggers this up, however I do missing the grumpy moods and shortly follow joy and delight when it all comes together and starts! So I am a bit jelous !

Good god no! financially(and I work for a cars insurer in this area) it would be written off without a problem, however………I am attached to the old girl, she has done a lot with me, and has put up with a lot from me!.so sentimentally it had to be fix. The 740 however, the injectors don’t fire. Stupid car!

Cracking cars, very nice little collection there!

sounds like a airlock,bleed the system,what year/model is and i will do a how 2 guide for you

When it gets under the spray booth lights you will see how bad it is, no creases as such but it is all over the place! Yes now the non starting 740, stupid FOOOOKING car, brick under the wheel as I don’t leave the handbrake on when it standing

Pubs are an easy distraction for me

Yes that sounds about right, On a ramp it wont take long at all! Bearings can fail in many ways, rare they just let go however pot holes/curbs can have that effect, Also as you as you get used to the car, you will be more aware of what`s going with the car

OK OK sore subject for many BMW drivers, but as mines off the road, so I can gloat my mode of transport is a 3.5 V8 Range Rover, and what a time of year to have it! I live on a HILL, and the Range Rover-Diff locks on just flew up it without even losing traction! A few photos from my face book.

WOW that’s stunning!

Being honest, they really are not that bad at all, they are designed to “get you home”, much easier than chains, less damaged caused. However I am a BMW lover and I admit defeat in the snow, Big RWD cars are a challenge in the snow and do struggle with the hills! However this year has proved the highways agency has got it right, once your on the main roads, no problems. Try living on a hill!

have you got a link to the flyer you made?

Welcome To the forum

.......Bottom arms ,drop links tie arms etc are cheap enough from Euro Car parts, buy new, and have no knocking noises!

Welcome along, do the doors catch curbs?

I know how we all like photos of others bad luck, So here is my offering, replacement bonnet on, and it will be going into paint on the 20th of February. The roof doesn’t look that bad(thanks to the reflection) however when you see it from different angles you can see just how bad it is, comments welcome! So it is now parked next to the 740 until the end of the month

Scum bags, and yes sadly would have been to order. Was it parked out of site? Or on the road etc? Either way a fantastic car and I fear one of the last “great” BMW to be made with all this carbon emission rubbish!
