  5. hi ive only got 2hrs before my mot ...the thing is I removed fuse 10 to disable seat belt warning light on dash which is a failure ,in doing so the cruise control light comes on and stays on ...anyone know if this is a failure??? thank you
  6. if I add an arm rest to my e46 coupe do I need to replace the whole centre console ??thanks
  7. mine was 18 from Halfords - the the steering controls
  8. as it happens I changed the head unit today from a factory unit to a new unit and all I can say is there isn't mutch space behind for adaptor harness and its knocked out the steering controls ,I couldn't find a centre mount either but to be honest the one I got from Halfords looks as it should be there I even managed to get a head unit with red LED to match the rest of the dash don't forget to buy an antenna adaptor as well
  9. this happened on another car of mine and it was trackrod ends if it helps
  10. no m8 im just going to suck up the bill on this one im just glad to hear the auto box and engine are in good condition im in devon and the garage is in the midlands and it might get messy with times and travel
  11. I recently purchased an e46 53 plate from a garage and it seemed not to be quite right so I took it to an independent bmw specialist <padock motors devon> and there results were faulty driver seat tensioner -50 quid plus vat alternator belt worn-56 quid plus vat front wishbonerear mounts 135 quid plus vat rear trailing armbushes worn 105 quid plus vat rear diff bush split needs replacing no quote as yet reasonable pricing or not?? thanks I originally took it in because it appeared a bit flat compared to my 180k ,they said it performs as it should and there is no comparison to a 180k as all 320 models are a little flat!!!
  12. very noob question but ...is it possible to see the level of the transmition fluid by dip stick or other on my 320 auto thank you
  13. thanks for the reply and yes ill take it to a garage tomorrow and suck up an hours labour ive just located a bmw specialist in my town Exmouth so ill take it in thanks again
  14. hello and I hope this is in the right place I recently got a 320 2.2 coupe 53 reg auto and after driving it for a few days have noticed that when I dip the accelerator the revs seem to climb high without any real push behind them it seems to go through the gears without searching but no real boost ive never driven one of these cars before and am comparing to a 180k auto box should it be very responsive to the pedal?or is this normal as ive got a 3months warranty with it I want to sort this out asap many thanks jon
