i removed the crappy non working bmw torch from the glove box and removed the guts from it then soldered the dash cam power supply wires straight the the torch terminals and ran the cable out the torch bulb hole. When plugged back into the charging point in the glove box you have a switched live pro...

How old are the front lower arms and track rods? Could be down to play in the suspension linkages causing movement.

Exact issues i had with the shuddering, but i had no dash warning lights. I ran a bottle of Millers Eco diesel injector cleaner through it and it disappeared within 3 tanks of treated fuel. Came back again a year later and another bottle of millers treatment sorted it. Been running the diesel treatm...

I looked at the Toyo choices as mine are due replacement shortly, the only ones i could find that came up in correct sizes were the Toyo T1's. After looking at the cost they worked out around £85 cheaper a set than the Michelin Diamaris so i will be going with the Michelins to keep the Star rating a...

I think someone misread "Kit" as "Car"  ) ) )

I am in the process of fitting a Transcend 220 dash cam in mine at the moment. I am going the easy route and wiring a 12v plug socket to the glove box fitted flash light supply and running the wire in there where it will be left plugged in as the flash light power supply is an ignition live. Fuse bo...

Noticed my MPG dropping off lately and thought it was just a result of my impatient/ over enthusiastic driving but have noticed temp gauge has dropped to 1/4 so mine is due a replacment! Just out of interest where did you purchase your new thermostat from? And if not direct from BMW do you know who ...

If you mean you have set it to auto lock the doors when travelling over 15mph which is what mine does and is annoying as hell, then i don't think it will automatically open them again when switching of ignition, well mine doesn't. Need to press the unlock button on centre console or do a double pull...

What one did you go with in the end? The type that has the blanking plugs built in or the type where you have to remove the flexi recirc hose?

There are plenty on flea bay to choose from and all pretty much in the same price range. Not sure what will make one piece of straight through metal pipe better that any other? As long as the one you choose has the correct blanking points included i don't think it will make any difference who actual...

Im getting a crappy rumble noise from my near end of life tyres and slight vibration at certain motorway speeds so due a full replacement set. Just can't bring self to go non star rated due to the possibility of future problems and also my crap luck that it will cause me issues!

Mine has had the "Lurch" for nearly two years, almost goes when new tyres fitted (* rated) and as they wear and the rolling circumference difference between front and rear increases it starts to get worse. New tyres due soon as the rear tyres have scrubbed out a bit quicker than the fronts...

Thanks grey dog, will have a proper look now i have the joy of using my laptop and not on my phone.

Guys, About to give the rear end a freshen up  :blink: and have got all new bushes, control arms, etc on the way. The one thing i have not been able to find is what rear antiroll bar bushes i need. I see there are loads of the 22mm diameter ones for sale but many places state these are not for "...
