The wire actually corroded and we've stripped it and put it back together, however the battery light is still on. Could the faulty wire be tricking the car into thinking the battery isn't getting charge, and therefore the alternator is not doing its job? I'm getting a reading of about 1 volt...

It's just getting it there that's the problem... it won't run and it's in bits atm!

Replaced it now and it's still doing the same thing. We've tested all the earths and they are fine. This leads me to believe it's either; a dodgy replacement alternator or the thin wire that leads to it is corroded, so it's making the battery light come on as it thinks it's not getting...

Ahh I see. I do like the look of angel eyes on the Bimmers especially with the orange 'eyebrow' thingy lol.

For the angel eyes I take it?

Love it mate. You might have heard me saying to the Mrs 'look, a MK2 Willy!' :o

FFS birthday twin.

I'm the real Jon G. Anyone care to argue? Thought not.

I'd not put 35mm on the rear just because that is fecking mental. 25 if you have to but I'd still choose less. They definitely look the part on a MK3 :)

Why lie then? A derv would be my choice in such a big car.

I love how it pisses people off :D I don't think they realise you can modify Trophy's! I've been slacking on the picture front (re: cleavage), I'll have to sort something out.

I'll pass on the message :) he's never sold a car before bless him.

Is it still a 535i? http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?642522-My-e60-5-Series

It wasn't on the CS stand/you didn't look hard enough ;)

Haha true! In turn that killed my battery too so I had to be jump started to get home. f*****s!

He's a student who has never had a job LOL. I think it's just what was on when he got the car (apart from the Pirellis on the front).

Was showing the Mrs this at FCS. Absolutely to job on the bonnet and rear, she couldn't believe it was sprayed on!

I'd just buy a new one and save the hassle.

Cheap! Rare too.

Aye it will be, he takes it to the Wigan one for the warranty work. Nope it's standard. Everyone thinks he's unmarked Police!

You could do with a plain front numberplate too :o Don't ever change the colour of those wheels!

Don't worry, I know the feeling! It's worth it if you're keeping it for a long time, no point in letting someone else benefit from all the hard work and cash.

Love it!

Yes. You could've got a decent one for that.

So a right ballache then!

It'd be standard if I peeled that bit of black vinyl off the front bumper! I'll probably end up doing it eventually as I did with the rear one, I got it cheap and it was just to see if it looked any good tbh :)

All the mods are reversible within minutes so don't cry :) I know some will like and some will dislike, that's why I posted it!

Would require 'wobbly bolts' though am I right?

Yup, nothing wrong with it too! Even has extra warranty remaining. Poor fucker is rolling in a gold Modus for the time being!
