haha evan though i do bodywork i and id love to do somthin like that, i dont think id have the time :angry: il set up a project thread for the van though (you reckon a project thread is a good idea steve? only projects though, not ive put a metal tax disc holder in and leave it at that thread lol )

hmmm now theres a idea just to say though i wont be leaving this site :D

good luck with it

bit of a wierd one to me this. must be a dodgy sensor somewere. i take it bmw plugged it into there diagnostic machine? if its saying its one problem it could be just the start and you end up going thru everything that one thing does until the problem is fixed, if you get me.

is the battery / alternator all working ok?

you read the title right, after only a few months of owning a nice E46 318i im going to be selling her, the reason is it was going to be the nice family car for when i get my license back next march (not banned, got suspended for a year for health reasons) but the mrs has been having lessons and got herself a little 1999 VW polo <---still german :D so why am i selling the beemer, well after about 2-3 years of thinking about setting up on my own as a detailer /valeter im going to be getting a van to start up for when i get my license back see how that goes as mobile then look into getting my own premises. i was sort of still am a mobile body repairer so use to working out doors but the valeting side of it is something i prefer so decided lifes to short and im going for it. going to be looking for a vauxhall astra which needs a new engine and my mate who is a vaux tech will be putting a new engine in for me. already got some one working on the graphics for it ive also been doing the work looking into insurance issues etc so evan though i never evan got to drive my bmw apart from private car parks im going to be sad to see it go

must be a tight fit, i no what you mean about baby seats though as i have a 2 year old my self. the seat shouldnt be moving though, is it firmly strapped in enough?

welcome along to the forum. not 100% sure were abouts its rubbing, is it hard plastic that is rubbing it? could put cloth between the two perhaps to stop it? also are you sure its rubbing the leather off and not the plastic leaving a mark on the leather? any pics?

welcome along dave , nice to see you made it :D

not to sure im sure some one will no on here but welcome to the forum

welcome along :D

and welcome to the forum :D

sounds like the same problem with mine at the moment , figured it could be the thermostat. mine starts fine as normal, but the temp gauge goes into the red then into the cold an keeps doing it, if you stop the car with it in hot are cold it struggles to start. if you stop it when the gauge is in the middle it starts perfectly fine. hopefully some one else may no more either way let us no how you get on

im guessing you could, not fully sure , but is it the same diameter as yours ? also would you need the M3 bumper? which im guessing wouldnt fit. prob work out cheaper if you got a custom one made up

they really are fantastic cars, not for off road use but they dont really make them for that now! my dads is the 3.0 diesal, i was surprised at how much pull it has for a big automatic car it has, overtaking is no problem at all and it feels nicly planted for corners to! id have one :D

hi there welcome to the forum. it does sound like somthing is catching on it, only thing to do i reckon is take the door card off. have you ever done it before? if not, there not to hard to do just take your time and remember were everything goes

welcome to the forum stevie2, not sure on the problems. my dad has one and so fare touch wood its been fantastic. tyres are expensive if your lots of miles as usual, but one prob my dad had was just a badly refurbished alloy. i said id repair it for him but his reply '' why when i can just get some 20s+ !!'' :lol:

haha beast, wish my bird would do as shes told <_<
