Quite Mick but the brackets are supplied in primer, paint them before installation. Kind regards, Taffy

Hello Mark, There are two bolts, one each side of the radiator toward the top. These are actually hex headed self tappers that screw into speed fasteners ( BMW call them "body nuts" ). At the bottom of the radiator are two lugs that engage into two rubber mounts in a cross member. Always a good idea to flush out your cooling system before replacing coolant and bleed afterwards. Kind regards, Taffy

Well, I took delivery of two SKF C.V. joint kits today. Probably start the ball rolling early next week.

Cheers mate, On the best balance of probabilities I've ordered two from Autodoc which are on their way. I'll change one side and then go for the other.

Thanks for your help everybody. So, am I right in saying SKF VKJA 8810 is the correct part?

Does anyone have any more info?

Wow Shaun, what brand are those?

Do you have the part no for the C.V. joint or preferably the SKF part no John?

Thanks John

Thank you John, Do the splined shaft separate from the CV joint easily or did you have to press it out? Taffy

I have been looking at replacement C.V. joints for my 535i and on a suppliers site one I listed "with groove in inner part(inside)" absolutely verbatim. The other is listed as without groove. Can anybody shine any light on this? The suppliers haven't any idea. I can't order what I need till I have a clear idea of what is meant. I bet John H will know.

EBC is good. Tried two types in mine.

Try Gorilla glue Mick.

Thanks Mick, I really appreciate it. Kind regards, Ivor

Has anyone had an e28 steering box rebuilt recently? If so any info on reliable people to carry out this work? Kind regards, Taffy 1
