If it helps. I'll dig out information maybe tomorrow if I can find it. The instructions I used had measurement an everything. For an e39 touring they fit higher up in the boot and the housing is curved so position is important. Some people have been fitting flat e60 sockets lower down on the flat section of the side panel. Not strictly original but functional.

Stand at the front of the engine and shine a torch directly down around the area between the oil filter housing, rocker cover and pipe that goes from the rocker cover to the CCV. There's 2 coolant pipes that attach to the engine block. Once they're knackered the front one leaks and gradually drips coolant down into the fins on the engine block in that area. It then makes its way back and down the block and can be confusing where the leak is coming from if you don't know. Manifold off and a lot of faffing to do.

10mm Spacers added to the front...I've now added 10mm spacers to the front wheels to try and achieve that perfect stanceThe setup before (after lowering on MSS) was 20" 759i wheels with 15mm spacers front and rear. No issues!Since getting these new BBS wheels, the rear wheels poke out 6mm more then the OEM ones and the fronts poke out 4mm more. When I fitted these with the 15mm spacer in place I ran into some rubbing issues at the front. My solution was to drop down to a 10mm spacer and with the 4mm extra poke, it would be like having a 14mm spacer. The other alternative was to raise the front ride height (currently set to 30mm drop) and then use the 15mm spacer. I was easier just to drop to a 10mm spacer and keep the ride height as it is as I prefer the more lower look.In my opinion I think it looks good and sits well!

Others are in the car in my garage il have to take some tomorow thanks for your help

Yes mate,rock oils. No such thing as long life oil in my eyes. Like you say,my oil gets changed every 3 months or so.

Thanks Dan. I was wondering if Nissens are any good and can't see why only Valeo would be OK. In my experience Nissens radiators are the best (some say better tan OEM), so a respected manufacturer. Really not looking forward to doing this on the drive, having stripped half the dash to fit the head unit and reverse cam last year this is worse. Will try struggle on until weather gets warmer.

No idea what that clown has. Team Heko is what I have. Keliuss

Now that LCM has correct VIN do the actual coding with NCS expert. Indicator stalk has different operating logic according to vehicle age (pre/post 3/99) so coding is different regarding these features.

Here are some pics

UK fishermen are halting exports to the EU. 700 trucks have been turned away from ports in what is a very quiet week. Stena is cancelling ferries due to lack of demand. DPD has suspended European services. Even Percy Pig can't make it across the Irish sea. Cue D:Ream?

If you want to use injector cleaner why not put it directly in fuel filter (new filter or suck the old filter empty first). On idle when fuel is not yet warmed up the return flow is directed back to inline fuel pump on the connector T-piece (Nr. 20 on the diagram) so most of the supplied fuel comes from the return line and only small amount from the tank.

It has head up,adaptive drive,pro nav,electric seats with memory,high beam assist and something else. What is adaptive headlights? What they do? I had matrix led in my audi a6 and that was fantastic?
