So, is coolant the same as anti-freeze? <lowers head in shame>

Thanks! http://www.cooper-bmw-parts.co.uk/browse-parts//coolant_94659.html This is what I should be after, I suppose?

Hi gents, It's been a while since I posted here - hello again! The yellow coolant light came on in my 2003 2.5 Z4 the other day. It comes on, then after a while goes off again. Suspect I should start by topping up the coolant. The thing is, what do I buy and where do I buy it? General...

He's checked ... They're definitely all 8.5J. I'll have to do a bit of research to see if I could use them on the front. But it can't be a good idea, can it? D.

They're just newly refurbed - so look great. Absolutely perfect - they've not been in a car since the refurb. I will ask him to take a look inside the spoke to double-check the size. Good idea about selling 2, and using the proceeds to refurb mine! Any takers for 2x wheels at £175 :-) Thanks...

Hi folks - a little help would be much appreciated! I'm being offered a set of new 108 alloys. I have them already on my Z4, but they're totally corroded and I'm being offered a good price on a mint set - £350. I think that's good, anyway. However, the guy says they're all 8.5J size - but...

Hi guys - A special offer for illustrious members of this esteemed forum! My other half works for Sky, and around this time of year we are allowed introduce 3 friends / family for a special price. If you're interested in this, let me know and I'll put you forward. Basically, it works like...

:-) Nope, she was stationary in heavy traffic ... he decided to change lane into a lane of stationary traffic and drove into her driver's side door. He said that he was really sorry - all his fault, and that he was really tired from having travelled through the night from France. Of course...

Thanks - Unfortunately, since the other party has changed his tune about liability (he drove into my car, when it was stationary in heavy traffic) later on. No independent witness would step forward in London traffic, so it's his word against mine. Guess I am going to have to go through my...

I had a prang in the Zed the other week (read here) and brought the car up to the local dealer - new drivers door required. Anyways, I was contacted by a company called Accident Exchange - BMW had provided my details to them so they could manage the claim. I'm always a little dubious when...

Thanks for the help, guys. Unfortunately since it happened, the other party is now saying that it was not his fault. Despite admitting he had driven through the night from France and was nearly asleep at the wheel, and admitting fault at the scene he's now saying something else altogether to...

Unfortunately as my wife was driving down the Euston Road in London the other day, someone pulled out and drove into the drivers door. She's fine - it sounds like it was all fairly low-speed. All the same, there's a dent in the door - it's not terrible, but most certainly there. The chap who...

I did something not a million miles off to mine a year or so ago - took it to a local chap (London, N1) who had it for a day and a bit, and it's absolutely perfect. I couldn't see where the gouges originally were. Like yours, my scratches were right through to the black plastic. I think it was...

Not only that, but I also figured out why my cigarette lighter wasn't working! D.

Cool ... thanks. Bit tricky to find the tabs to open it up (they're on the top!), but didn't take too long! I've now got the windows working ... at the expense of the headlight washers! Will pop to the garage tomorrow for new fuses. Thanks for the help. D.
