Brilliant thread Mart.. Got me a bit emotional lol Showed the wife, she aint got a clue why i think the previous and current owners have got in touch after such a long time over such a beautiful car.

No problem mate...happy to help

Get them done mate, Mine failed a couple of months back and ended up costing me £1500!!

Hi mate welcome along. Prob the cheapest thing to try first is the thermostat

No they are deffo different Sam

Nice on mate well done

I've sent an email to this guy.

I'll go through my admin section and see if I can find his email and I'll notify him. Nice one for the info.

I think there was, I'll have a look when I get on the comp, can't be bothered to move at the moment lol so using iPod

If you know someone it's a plan Chris. Would love to do my car, couldn't justify the money to the wife after the respray though.

Could prob do that yourself mate with some good quality 3M wrap

Wish I went for wrap instead of respray now though

Imagine.. E46 M3 Cabbie Wrapped in Matt white with gloss black roof and Carbon Fibre bonnet and grills.. I want mine wrapped white, will cost me 1k!!!

I love it, I want coil overs real bad

A little long but a great idea

I think I may have covered all bases just want any other opinions before i start taking things apart. When turning, stationary or moving, I'm getting a loud knocking noise from the nearside front. Now I'm thinking i have another bush gone or a steering rack problem. It not affecting handling nor does it knock when braking. Both drop links and and front, rear control arm bushes have been replaced recently. Also it doesn't knock when jacked up, with is making me think its more likely bushes?
