I can confirm that this is true. I get 27a4 code occasionally which allows the car to crank but not start. I believe the ews stops the fuel injectors and spark

If its original and high mileage replace it. I replaced mine with a Nissens Radiator, Excellent quality and worthwhile replacing with the expansion tank, water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses and use g48 coolant, if you're gonna do it you might aswell do it right.

Upgraded to braided brake hoses all round. Has firmed up the brake pedal and improved the clutch pedal feel also, Plus I wont have to worry about them ending up like the originals.

My 2.2 has the same dipstick as this. If the oil only looks overfilled when cold don't worry about it, besides it will soon need topping up, I've moved back to 5w 40 as I was getting fed up of the oil light coming on

Absolute bargain at that price if you ask me. Even if the engine were to blow up when you start it you'd probably double your money selling all the modules in the car, and if it's a manual then the flywheel will be worth a few quid also

Not sure about a thread but this is the video I watched.

I did this method in about an hour having never done it before and taking my time, I gave up with the break the motor free method after about 10 minutes as it seemed impossible or very much likely to damage something, when I saw how the casing is attached with a screw and cable ties I'm glad I...

Do you mean this clip? If so you have to make sure that black piece is intact to form a good connection to the door airbag

I have managed to successfully repair one by pressing a panel pin in to make a new tooth and reinforcing it from the side with another pin and a washer then coating the whole lot in epoxy, It took awhile to do and requires the holes drilled for the pins to be tight to create a good fit, I'd...

Good price, I watched a pair on ebay go for quite a bit more then i didnt see a pair for over a year till the last set offered on here which I bought, Transforms the look of pre facelift cars and in my opinion a better looking light than the facelift.

Had a febi expansion tank that only lasted 900 miles, and a febi camshaft sensor which introduced intermittent starting which was resolved when I reluctantly coughed up for a genuine bmw sensor. The various febi suspension parts I've fitted tho have been fine.

Insured for 4k miles a year and usually come close to covering them, helped by the car pretty much becoming my daily in the summer tho

Hi, Are the steering wheels still available?

Haha it's certainly not a job I want to do again but its easier than trying to break the roof motor free in the boot, I gave up on that idea quite quickly, if I didnt know it was a proven method I would never believe it can be done that way
