  1. Genuine staggered items (wider at rear) fully refurbished by blasting and powder coating and never been on a car since, one wheel while in storage has picked up a chip on the rim face about 1mm but otherwise all perfect. Wheels can be viewed and collected in the DD11 postcode, £350 on collection, any questions then just ask. Regards Steve
  2. All BMWs are very sensitive to low voltage and do some really weird stuff when the battery is low, get the battery checked and if in doubt change it but only with a really good replacement and am sure all your problems will be sorted. Regards Steve
  3. lol has that ever worked for anybody???? Mate its an 840 not a 1994 1.2 Corsa, you really do need to get somebody with a launch reader get the codes read then work from there, a mobile mechanic may charge around £60 but you wont be guessing and not making matters worse!!! Stephen
  4. I was up for the last one at the Falkirk wheel but in the end only 4 of us were still up for going so it never happened Stephen
  5. Am 45 and drive like an idiot, welcome Bruce Stephen
  6. You need a mechanic to look at it mate we cant guess on that not enough info Stephen
  7. Hi Jason welcome to the forum Stephen
  8. Don't really see any benefit to you changing to a 330 as your driving a car with virtually the same bhp but far lighter, the 123 is a hard act to follow, great fun to drive with one of the best chassis in the business, the 330 you sent the link of is cheap but lacks spec and being an SE model just isn't as desirable as an M Sport and you will get a kicking come PX time, find an M Sport 335 with a manual gearbox as the paddles shift on 335 diesels is rotten and riddled with problems and mega expensive to sort, BMW dumped that version of the gearbox, redesigned it with different software.

  9. Are all the hoses heating up as they should and the heat coming through the heater as it should? If you haven't had the car long then my guess would be that somebody has done the rad weld thing in the past possibly more that once and the water is not getting circulated round the radiator to get cooled properly, check and see if the radiator is even temp all over, also they are bad for heater matrix leaking. Stephen
  10. Go with the pollen filter, its amazing just how many never get done. Stephen
  11. Hi Jonathan that's low mate! Stephen
  12. Hi Richard enjoy your car! Stephen
  13. Just top up the resovir to the the max mark after you have bleed them, shouldn't be much. Stephen
  14. Get it on a code reader mate nobody can guess at that one. Stephen
  15. Hi Ian glad its all sorted for you, they probably gave the head a light skim of around 4tho or so as they don't warp and the black marks are down to blow through from cylinder to cylinder but quite normal, the new gasket is a moded item and far more substantial, enjoy your car mate Stephen
  16. Hi Ian did you get your M3 sorted? Stephen
  17. Another new member that doesn't have an owners manual!!!!! Stephen
  18. BMW gearboxes both manual and auto are superb so down to personal choice, but you can get lazy in an auto but in todays crowded roads auto every time Stephen
