  1. Any ideas? from cold the stick is stuck near 5th, when fully warm it selects back to neutral, its a bugger as when i want 3rd it will guide to 5th, 1st to 4th ect heard this maybe a bush but surlie a worn bush would give more play?? anyone else got or had this prob and had it fixed any info would be great cheers
  2. Cheers,any ideas what polish isnt goin to stick inside stone chips?? Tried a few but always looks like its got overspray from white paint!! i had been usin t cut colour restore but this cant be too good for a weekly can it??
  3. Na rides no differnt tyres are v streched but seems smoother il put that to the tyres! when i was first offerd them i wernt too keen but soon grew on me!! Still after some 19" tho! reason i got these is i paid £150 for the beyerns rear tyres were due and fronts were full run, the fella i got them off paid over 1k for the rims and shipping alone plus just under 6 for the new rubber, only 4 months old so could be a nice little earner!! Be nice to get some rota drift or advan rs-d but cost is silly money! anyone had vmr rims??
  4. Just swapped these rims for the beyern mesh i refurbed, a very rare set that takes weeks to import from germany, dont look to bad somthin differnt and not seen another set on a bm yet!! still after some 19" lol just need to get some coilovers to finnish! what u all think??
  5. Hi there ive used most of the common products and ive found meguiers which i use now gives a rich finnish, auto glym is just as good also the thing ive found with this range of products they all do the same thing!! dodo juice poorboys and gtech?? are more expensive and have yet to try, best results ive found is to wash, dry clay, once over with a quick detailer then hard wax rather than a polish, reason for this ive found the wax gives a slicker finnish and lasts for weeks!!!, have a look on the detailing part for more info gavs uploaded a vid with some of the g products looks like some good stuff!!! ul get some better opinions on that part of the forum hope this helps
  6. Have u tried listing for 99p no reserve?? always worth a bash u might end up getting more than u wanted?? i just sold my mv1 wheels for£250 was only after 150 that was 99p no res give it a bash mate
  7. Hi all i clean my car every weekend and always give it a good polish with black turtle wax, only as my car is black and auto glym sticks in the stone chips that shows badly, anyway i shelled out £20 on turtle wax ice a sort of hard wax paste and the differnce is big!! I first clayed the car then waxed it. wax took about an hour longer to apply, the wax brought the colour out like new very slick!! and water comes staite off pain for washing as it runs off!! Point is should i ditch the polish and stick with wax?? i done this 5 weeks ago and still beads as if i waxed the day before!!
  8. Have a look on google mate just type in bmw e46 alloy wheels and ul see endless amounts!! Best bet for your price is ebay mate ive done well from there i got some beyern mesh wheels n tyres for £150 and refurbed them myself i put them on the 3series sec under " diy refurb" the lmr look v good and are not as common as lm,

  16. Good stuff! my car has done 175k im 4th owner and has a massssive folder fbmwsh but oil was like tar when i gave it a service and the gap on the sparks were massive im supprised it ran as good as it did!! The car looking at mot's has done some big motorway miles!! two of the previous owners both worked for bmw one being the buyer, it does seem a good idea to change it due to the oil situation!! was going to flush it but many say its not good due to the fact it keeps seals sealed and it would probly smoke after and sound tappy??? best start getting some qoutes in!! cheers bud
  17. Yeah i see that vid about 2 years ago when i had my scoob, cleva stuff bet it aint easy?? i did my pipes yesterday what a mission that turned out to be!!!!!! the studs snapped on the down pipe whilst undoin the nuts used penty of duck oil but didnt tuch it!! ended up grinding them down and drilling them out on the ground, ended up using exhaust pipes from a peugeot and saxo was on a very tight buget ie £0.00 lol, i think thats the only good thing iv got from french cars!! All turned out great and sound mental!!!!!!!!! it sort off has that v / flat 4 sound about it when pulling off slowly!! so when i get some cash in im gona take a trip to powerflow and have the pipes made up with a couple of resinaters in and two tips it does sound mad il have to get a vid on here!!
