Chimp Choker Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 so do you know if there is any difference against the c3bmw kit on the bay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270924670853?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_900wt_1141 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 That one seems to be the non insulated one, different part numbers Basically same hoses but mine have foam round them and the actual CCV has a foam outer coating both to protect against the heat/cold and reduce the build up of sludge mit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mit Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 E46: Some light at the end of the tunnel, a breakers yard may have some replacement drive shafts. E93: After a 600 mile round trip to Yorkshire where it performed superbly it's back at the dealer as it's had a cold start issue since they replaced the catalytic converter last week. W201 2.6: It's been sat there doing nothing. I think I'm going to scrap it, regretting the decision to buy it. Might give it away for free. W201 2.5: Err, I just bought an E-Reg Mercedes Cosworth and it's being delivered today. K46: Sitting pretty in the car park. Might actually get some use this week.

StuBeeDoo Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Today, I've cleaned and fed me lev-vahz innit. I also got a bit carried away and cleaned the manky screen on the head unit. I was very gentle with the SRP, but I think I've probably taken most of the AGC off the screen. It's not shiny shiny so I'll see how I get on with it. If I get too much reflection I'll just get some anti-glare film off the 'bay, or somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregc Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Not today but Saturday- Changed a headlight bulb and windscreen wipers on the 325ci. Changed the wipers, engine oil, filter and level sensor (was coming on after about a minute for about 30sec). Drove to work this morning after 5 miles the oil level light came on so I pulled in let the car rest for a few minutes and checked the level to find out its spot on, drove off and after another 5 miles it came back on. This is more annoying than the original sensor because I have an orange light all the time now. Before anyone asks no it isn't an oem Hella sensor because I didn't think I needed to spend £100+ on a level sensor but in reality I've just wasted £40 plus and engine full of oil. Everybody please remember BUY CHEAP BUY TWICE. RickyZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
