are they costly? and easy to fit? is the thermostat easy to get at? Thanks

I dont understand what you mean by the second part you wanted me to do below which i highlighted. is there another rad-cap or do you mean the top one? I tried the plug thing you told me at first but it didnt work. also I felt the pipes going to the rad and the top one is roasting hot and the bottom one is cold. It's starting to worry me a little as I have been driving it around for a while now and im scared of the car blowing up lol. get her on ramps (front wheels not rears lol) and run the engine... Warm her up and carefully release the rad-cap, leave her running for a while (heater on max+heat) until you're happy there are no more bubbles (10mins after temp in middle)... Close rad-cap. Sorry for sounding dumb Sam

Thanks alot I will try this tomorrow when it brightens up and not as cold (sucks in belfast) but thanks for the reply :D

Anyjoy? its starting to anger me lol

I have 4 tattoos and just one needs covered up and i will get a japenise sleeve to cover it :) one is a pair of headphones on one wrist other is a turntable on the other wrist one is my initials on my chest i designed and the other which i want covered is my name sammy in old english down my arm

i have no idea how to drain the airlock in the coolent or even where my thermostat is lol :P

you see i did have a few cars one being a saxo which my girlfriend got me for my first car and me and her basicly built the car to what it was from a standard 1.1 to a well modded (chav in your eyes) car lol i will upload an image or a link to it https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.374783839263.152254.512274263&type=3

anyone any info please?

not sure where to start to be honest. i know what i want so far though alloy wheels tinted windows boot spoiler maybe lower it slightly smoke the rear lights?? possibility of smoked angel eyes or HID's not sure on what else

I have here a few pictures of my car, i know they are bad quality images but im crap at taking pictures lol. Be Gentle Please :)

one of the arms bent that holds the window and im not sure if the window has slipped out of something aswell as the plastic bits. I checked euro carparts for the part i need which is £40 something, and im not sure if you get the we plastic parts with it to slide into the window. I will see if my old work can fit it for me and see if they can get it in perfect order :D Would someone have a step by step guide on how to fix this bu getting the window in etc? Thanks and sorry for the pain in the a$$ Sam

well thats my window regulator buggered. :( everything else fitted but the gas shocks for the boot are not holding the boot up lol so now i need a full window regulator and it fitted along with the window :(

how do you mean by properly? thats a bit that confused me Thanks

Thanks I got it off it was pretty easy, i seen the wiring pannel behind it and there was one wire hanging and one wire connected to the speaker, the reason i was looking it off was because the window near fell out lastnight lol and im not sure why but when i got the we white thing back in the slider it wouldnt go up properly :( is there a spicific way the window needs refitted by the white clips on the regulator.

am sure some of the guys can help you out, im not sure on anything electrical to be honest but the guys are usually really fast here but its a bit late at night haha

welcome along :D share the problems as im also in the same boat

Thanks very much for this help, i will do this tomorrow. it seems everyday im owning this im finding more problems lol but i dont want to keep boring everyone with them :(

Can someone please tell me the easiest way and less damaging way to remove the doorcard on the passengers side, the girlfriend was putting the window down and i pushed the button a bit and the window basicly fell down (off the runner) i think. Can someone try help me out please as i dont want to ruin it lol Thanks Sam

surely that wouldnt be why its blowing out cold air all the time though? i havent checked the dials as im unsure how to take them out.

Hey guys me again :) i forgot about the problem with my heaters, I did a search and couldnt see anything to help me . My temp gauge slowly builds up to the centre within 5 mins or so, the heater doesnt blow out warm air its cold but sometimes its ever so slighty warm when the heaters are off but after 30 secs it blows cold again. sorry for the confusion :) Thanks Sam

Hey guys, sorry i only checked back now. I left it into my old workplace which is a mechanics, and it turns out that the vacume hoase was not on and that there was a cracked pipe also. thanks anyway. and to answer the last question about the service i am not too sure when it was last service but i am going to get it serviced over the next few weeks once i get paid :) I will post pictures as soon as possible

Well i'm new to the bmw world as you know, There was no problem with the car when I purchased it just my luck lol. Basicly when I start the car it knocks off alot of the time straight away and when approaching traffic lights it would shutter alot and the rev's would go down and stop the odd time.

Hey guys/girls My name is Samuel and I am new to the club with purchasing my 3 Series just two days ago, I am very proud to own a BMW just need to get a problem sorted out :D
