Hi, looking at thermostats the manual says the original thermostat opens at 85 degrees where the equivalents seem to open at 80 degrees, does the 5 degrees make that much difference as the water temperature is controlled by the sensor and fans etc. Is anyone running one of these equivalent...

Just looking into the starter motor replacement and the main dealer parts prices are Starter motor at £326.48+vat, Inlet O rings are £3.33 each +vat Water manifold O rings are £0.09 each +vat Looks like the Bosch/Valeo route is the way to go !!!

3200 Injector Boots I was looking to replace the 8 injector boots and have found there is an equivalent BMW part b12.52.1.732.694 I've just ordered 8 at my local BMW dealer for collection tomorrow at a cost of £2.75 each so £22 total inc VAT. I'll let you know once I've got them and will try...

I had the CEL come on once when sat in traffic at roadworks. It turned out that I had my foot lightly on the brake pedal which took it off the rest position but it was not making full contact with the brake on sensor so the system assumed there was a fault in the braking system and sent a CEL. I...

White Granturismo **59 EFP on the M40 near Cherwell Valley yesterday around 5:15pm heading South

Hi, I think this one has been around many times before and although there are less expensive options available I had mine recently replaced by real Maserati blades and they are much better than the flinsey things that were on the car when I bought it. Cheap alternatives may be a false economy.

Parked next to a 57 plate Granturismo this morning at Heathrow Terminal 5 Business Parking

Hi, Some time ago I bought a hand held OBD reader which is complete with a small screen to read the codes, I got it from eBay, model something like U581. I leave it in the boot of the car and a couple of times its cleared a CEL and limp mode to allow me to get moving again. My view being that...

Hi Dem, Well done, I was looking at the 7993 before I went for the 7944, I fitted mine myself and the plugs are standard ISO connectors so it should slip in easily, ooooh errrr missus !!!
