Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2 & 2005 BMW 330i
This E90 is really fighting me. I bought some fresh liquid flux and reflowed the PCB on the BGA packages. This era stuff is when they moved to lead free solder and had varying levels of success. Inadequate cooling in these things and vibration really kills them. My CCC (iDrive) is hw 9.8 and apparen...

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2 & 2005 BMW 330i
Just went out for a quick drive. ABS pinged up again. Rear left wheel speed sensor this time. Front right looks to be working perfectly fine after disconnecting/reconnecting it. Maybe that rear left might come alive if I disconnect and reconnect it too? Debating whether to just replace that front ri...

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2 & 2005 BMW 330i
Bought one of these to keep in the glovebox when going on longer journeys. Old BMWs... I have had the older version (creator 110) but I sold that to a mate a few years ago when he bought an R53. This one was £35 delivered off eBay. Apart from code reading and live data like the older version, it can...

Honestly, how long is left that you can pick up a relatively lightweight, small straight-6 convertible that makes a great sound for that sort of money? I don't think it will be much longer left we can bask in this sort of shite. E85's will be around for years yet. Like Z3's, they are still too nume...

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2 & 2005 BMW 330i
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.

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2 & 2005 BMW 330i
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...

Re: EBay Finds
When a decent one is under 10k, expect to see one in my garage. Or a Daimler equivalent.
My late nan used to love the MkII. Inspector Morse had one iirc.

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