cool, I hope so!!

I bought mine from europarts and it bolted straight on just screw and plug in, job done, 5 mins at the most.

Firstly here is what happened. Got in the car to go away for the weekend, turned the key and the whole ignition key and barrel seems to have turned too far, so the steering lock is off but the key wont turn any further to activate the ignitio, so that was that. Had a quick look myself, but not really got much of an idea what I am doing so got a locksmith to have a look who couldnt do much either, so called the RAc. The RAC guy sorted it so at least now I can start the car and drive it but I am going to have to replace the switch , Is this much of a job? and how do I stand if I manage to get it apart and get a new barrel and key etc with the immobiliser?

I have had to do exactly the smae on mine and there is only one sensor

yes it does

Still trying to sort the radio, where does the white wire from the ariel amp connect to on the radio? does it supply power to the amp? or does it do something else?? also there is a plain yellow wire, what is that for as I cant seem to find it on the wiring diagram.

How the he--l do I get the drive shaft out of the hub??

Thanks :D

I am in need of some parts for the handbrake on my 316i and the part numbers are different from left to right, so which side of the car is the left and which is the right? Is the right the offside as you look at i from the front ? or the rear?.

Are the rear wheel bearings a DIY job??

So how many bulb holders do you have in the cluster? The indicator is on a different fuse than the side light . So the earth might be a problem.

I thought about that so will recheck the wiring.

appears to be

Why is it when I turn my lights on the radio reception goes all to c-ck?? <_<

Where does the mpg gauge on my 96 316i get the information from? mine doesn't appear to be working, when I turn the ignition on the needle moves right across to one side never to be seen again.

They could always get it back by cheating, like maradonna did in the world cup and wave his magic hand of god and the Falklands are doomed. If it came to the cruntch we should pull out of Afganistan and defend our own people which the Falklanders are.

Thanks guys I have sorted id, it was the connector in the rear light cluster shorting out. :rolleyes:

Cheers. No super bright headlight bulbs. Seems like a short somewhere, but where is the question??

Sorry to sound stupid but what do you mean by HID??

Hi all . I have a 96 316i that has just started t blowing fuse number 37 (10 amp). When I turn the lights on it pops the fuse and i lose the front offside side light, the rear o/s tail light, the illumination lights on the instrument cluster. I have had a look around and cannot see anything too obvious, Oh and it seems to give me extra interference throuhg the radio when the light switch is on and when it is off the interference disappears, I hope someone can point me in the right direction as this is driving me mad. Cheers Frostoff

Cheers. i am struggling to find a solution to my electrical problem, keeps blowing a fuse. Too tired and cold to do any more last night, but will have to start again in the morning.

I thought I had better drop in and say hi as I will probably be needing a lot of help in the near future. I have jus purchased a 1996 316i saloon to keep me warm and dry but am already starting to find a few problems with it, so please be gentle with me if I ask a few stupid questions. Chris
