close i ordered one from bmw which will be there on friday.and its £16.91 lol

seems like it could be too short really ian, going to get a lift to bmw to see what its gonna be to replace it possibley expensive?

i dont have a camera to get a pic :( i had to take those pics using my laptop. but its the one on the left side

i got to images of the rip and shape

I have the pipe off, it is just 2 jublee clips which are a nightmare to get at lol. I will try to get a picture up asap of it as i cant find the webcam app on this computer lol. to explain it in a simple term its like a shape of a J

It was just repair tape until I got home. I will get a picture tomorrow morning and upload it asap. I need it for to go away in about 2 weeks once I get a picture can someone maybe help guide on how to remove it and easiest way to get the other on?

Thanks

Could I get the repair tape from halfords ( that good stuff lol) just until tomorrow could that fix it for a little while? Also would that be why my temp gauge sat in the middle after a few mins driving?

Guys I have a mega problem I have loads of steam belting out from my bonnet. I turned the car off and let the steam go away as I couldnt see where it was coming from bbut when I started the car up again I noticed steam coming from a hoase which is split a little which looks to go into the inside of the car. The temp gauge was in the red before I stopped the car etc. But what hoase do I need and where does it go too. It's a 1998 316i compact. I need help asap. Thanks

Thanks I will check it out now

as some you know I have a 316i compact but i am running on steel wheels with bmw wheeltrims. but I was having a look for alloys but i fear i am limited to a size and i am not too sure what the sizes are apart from the inch of the rim. I was looking at these for when I did get the money up but can someone shed some light to help me out?

dam it lol new motor needed then hopefully get one cheap enough. spent a few quid on it already and only had it 2 months i think.

its all connected proper and it moves back n forward when i press the the lock/unlock button. I just removed it and it seems a piece has snapped off it. I will upload a picture as i can be quite confusing.

just removed the motor and found that the part that which the rod fits into was laying on the inside boot pannel so may need a quick fix of glue to see if that holds untill i can afford a new motor

I will go try it now lol is this how they usually get fixed?

thanks

I has a look outside to see why my central locking in the boot wasnt working and found this

thanks

Sam

Haha no worries going out for a good nosy now

It doesn't turn headlights on just the interior ones unless somethings unplugged. Haha I need an expect to come look at it

Thing is. The button at the bottom right is a picture of a light not a boot.

Belled?? lol my keyfob is like this http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=bmw+key+fob&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&sa=N&biw=1280&bih=718&tbm=isch&tbnid=OVV6Par4GDTwpM:&imgrefurl=http://www.expresskeyfobs.co.uk/bmw-c-2.html&docid=p5BSl0eZQ0nw1M&imgurl=http://www.expresskeyfobs.co.uk/images//BMW3BUTTON4TRACK%252526BLADE.png&w=540&h=405&ei=2pxbT-j8AseM8gOy1p22Bw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=768&vpy=176&dur=688&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=143&ty=114&sig=116261482977398540923&page=4&tbnh=157&tbnw=214&start=55&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:55

but it has a button for lighing up the inside instead of the boot opening. also the boot doesnt seem to have central locking is this right?

Basicly Im just wondering if my 1998 e36 316i compact is fitted with an alarm system. How to i test it and where is it located in the car.

Thanks

Sam
