Hi everyone,
I'm looking for outer sill panels for a ph2 172. I'm sure they're available from Renault for a fortune, but are pattern versions available? Has anyone used some and able to make a recommendation? As usual, I need about 200mm each end.
Thanks!
The Mrs one series was sparkling graphite and in different light could look brown, bronze, purple and heading for phoenix yellow. It's a nice generic grey that really shows off contours in any sunlight and is actually quite tolerant of being dirty unlike a lot of paints
Certainly on an E90 you can unbolt the inner Cvs and stick them above the flanges with the diff in situ so that it just falls out of the bottom. Biggest time soak is getting the front diff mount bolt to line up when it's going back in
If he's anything like me, breakdown cover, and since the two punctures I've had on E90 were due to broken front springs, a spare (or runflats) wouldn't have helped anyway
Cant believe you managed to lock yourself in to the point of needing to break a window :ROFLMAO:
How on earth you figured out how to use the BMW software tools I dont know. Every time I try to search how to do something I eventually give up because people are singularly unhelpful.
@f0xy Ahh, so the live cable is continuous, but the Cartek cuts the earth in the event of a short? I see the earth passing through it now, just big red cables jump out harder!
For the feed to the car, I totally get it, but in this shot it looks like there is a second cable which isnt through the isolator? (Unless I'm missing something completely)
You shouldnt need a bigger hole, it just clicks in, run the cable to the boot and then code it into the car.
You may have fun with that as the earliest cars dont have the option for it, so I believe there is some faff with changing the build date to allow the code to be added and then changing...
I've a 5" record and given the choice again I'd go bigger just to get a little more reach to the side of the jaws.
Personally Id avoid quick release for simplicity.
Some bits are and some arent, as youll find out.
Front springs fail commonly and when they do, take out the front tyre because the spring seat is moronic and the spring drops down over it.
Drop links last about 15 minutes up here before theyre audible
The handbrake is awful, but dont ignore it...
The big problem is that your BMW dealer isnt a branch of BMW (like Tesco for example), its a franchise of some indepenant chain, who then have the right to sell and service BMWs on behalf of BMW UK. As a result, you're faced with their branch policies, company policies and then BMW's policies...
