So far I've bought:  - Rear left caliper  - Rear pads  - Both handbrake shoe backplates  - Replacement Airbag ECU  - Air conditioning panel (which I didn't end up needing as I miss diagnosed) That works out as £192.62 (£20 of which is that air con panel). Not bad for a 20yr old BMW. Basically mostly...

That was quick!

Nearly 5k miles in a year since last MOT. Not bad effort from all the recent previous owners on here/AS.

MOT day

Emissions are my biggest concern. Handbrake might need further adjustment but I think it'll pass.

Are you going to jetwash the engine bay so you can see any oil leaks ? I think it would make my driveway look like the aftermath of Exxon Valdez if I did that. Just peering in the engine bay shows it's caked in oil. Don't worry, I won't be writing a strongly worded email to the previous owner. Stan...

When a decent one is under 10k, expect to see one in my garage. Or a Daimler equivalent.

Looks tidy. Must be overpriced to be going down £3k and still not sold in 10months.

Had a poke around on this wheel speed sensor. Disconnected it as I wanted to double check that the abs module isn't playing silly buggers.  The connector box was absolutely packed with dirt. I don't think it's ever been disconnected. https://autoshite.com/uploads/monthly_2024_05/PXL_20240512_1736023...

It's cheap enough and done enough miles that I'm okay with it if it does go bang. Cheaper than the cheapest 330i E9x on Autotrader... I did worry it was an internal ABS module fault with all those wheel speed codes. However I'm hoping replacing that sensor will bring that all alive. Iirc it was goin...

So error codes. There are loads of them because it's a BMW. Firstly these codes I think all relate to the idrive (big dash sat nav screen thing) module is dead and not communicating. I don't think it's the display as I get a flash as if it's about to start up and then nothing. My suspicion is the po...

Is that Angry dicky’s Austin parked up in the back ground, in the black and white flickr photo? "Photograph courtesy of Adrian Cypher whose Austin car can be seen parked up at the far end of the lay-by." I don't know angrydicks real name. Richard. But I wasn’t around in 1966. Well spotted...
