Re: 1985 BMW E28 520i

The steering play will be in the adjustable column splines. Get a 32mm spanner on the column nut under the dash and give it a tighten. I put the spanner on the nut, rest the spanner end on the transmission tunnel and heave the wheel clockwise.

Re: EBay Finds

That Clubman is a bit of a crossover model - it has the mid 1976 on newer colour and trim, but Mark 3 switches and badges. It might have a solid mount front 'frame. Mark 4's had the rubber mount front frame and twin column stalks as well as different rocker switches and different seats that this one...

Re: What did you do today?

That's the new one that's actually a Peugeot.

The second gen was A Trafic/Vivaro only. Still built as a Trafic.
The current Vivaro is a PSA van. Vaux/Pug/Cit/Fiat.

Re: EBay Finds

I wouldn’t entertain £5000 Minis. The eighties ones are just shit. You’ve got to have 10” wheels and centre speedo. I would fix and sell the Dolomitic and buy a really proper one. Even a tatty but unmessed with car but not one of these cosmetically tidy ones that are basically shit. You WILL be back...
