welcome mate

Hope not mate, latey the only car i have worked on has been the VOlvos, and on them it is always the Heater Matrix but with BMWs not so sure, but Dabsy would have a better idea .....Cheers mate

welcome mate

http://www.meeknet.co.uk/E38/Index.htm try this link ( if it works) its great site for everything E38 7 series and might point you in the right direction on how to do the heater rad

Had this with a T5 i had and it was the heater rad< was about £80.00 from car euro parts, fitted it myself but took about 4 hours and on the Volvo it was located behind the stereo, so very fiddly, but my mate had the same problem on his vw and it was a whole dash out job....not sure on the 7 tho .....dabsy is probably your man for where and how to get to it..... but def sounds like a heater rad....Also if it is dont buy 2nd hand etc just get a new one as a lot of hassle to get in and out....

not my exact thought, mine was for prising it out of his hands but thats another idea .....lol, bet this is cheering Gav right up, gone from being a nice posting battle to extreme violence.....LMAO

They are an awesome car :D

All the best with your wedding Shaun, The K&N filter is a good price as you never have to change again, go for the direct replacement and not all the induction kit etc still suppossedly gives an extra 10bhp and better economy plus you only have to clean it once a year ( pearsonnally i do mine twice.) the iridium plugs are a bit of a new thing i thought i would try but again supoosedly last longer, give much better spark, so meant to increase bhp and economy. but about £15-20 dearer than ordiary Bosch. I was goona keep the R and make her into something even more special, but the missus got fed up with the R just sitting on the drive, it had no tax, mot or insurance plus needed about a good £1000 spent for mot....As soon as i got the 7, i use it all the time...so i had to nae a choice keep the R or the 7 series....not a hard choice as always been a BMW man and always loved the E38 but never had one....so sold the R as she was and made more money out of her as she was than doing the work required......bit gutted as the R was great fun, especially when she would destroy a M3 or when we sat on the ##### of a 911 but still prefer my 7 series.......Good luck with your wedding mate and all the best

got the crowbars at the ready......

Cheers Mart ...LOL

about 40 quid on ebay for the six, and a k&N panel filter is about 40 quid, yeah the R was quick but was no way standard, was an auto but would do about 85 in 2nd before changing up, awesome in the mid range but now sadly she is gone........think she was just under 300 BHP but was boosting at about 19psi ...

+1 snypa, my gauge goes to half way ( normal ) in about 5 mins or s, long as it doesnt go up further or when in traffic creep, i would say all ok...

I have a 2001 7 series with the widescreen TV Sat/nav etc, since the anologu system has been turned off i cantget a picture on the TV, so just asking is ther any cheap ways of getting the signal back on the TV. I have seen the digi boxes for cars on ebay for about £60-80 quid ( cheaper ones) but do these work? or do i have to pay out for a complete upgrade? also can i upgrade the sat/nav on this system as well , as currently has the original sat/nav cd in the car...Any help greatly appreciated...cheers guys ( think i have system III the latest and last one for the E38) will try and post a pic of it

some very nice cars, indeed......
