Re: Minimal illumination of the coolant
Is it possible for you to recognise this schematic component?

Re: Minimal illumination of the coolant
It appears like a leak is occurring nearby. Can I just buy a new one?

Re: Minimal illumination of the coolant
There is no white smoke, and I have also tested the oil for emulsion.

Minimal illumination of the coolant
After filling up, I still lose around half a litre of water after a forty-mile trip, and the low coolant indicator has been on for the past several trips. It appears that there are a few drips on the tray near the radiator, but they do not indicate a leak. Is the water pump about to give out?

Re: Need a new timing chain for my BMW N57—can I pay for it in installments?
Do not currently have any quotations. While on the weekend, I filled out a plethora of contact forms and am planning to call my regular mechanic this week. Price ranges of £1,000 to £1,500 have been seen.

Need a new timing chain for my BMW N57—can I pay for it in installments?
Greetings everyone,
There has been some rattling from my N57 timing chain, therefore I have been searching for a location to acquire a new one. Is there a mechanic, garage, or expert in your area that would be willing to work with me on a monthly payment plan? You don't need one of those 12-month ...

Re: Concern with the E36 door panel
I appreciate your assistance; that is quite useful. The prior owner apparently used the top frame, the plastic trim on the inside of the door lock, and the glued-on fasteners to attach the panel. Nothing was stuck in the door or anyplace else, and that included C-clips, screws, and bolts. The panel ...

According to the door handle, the bolt holes are located at around 3 and 10 o'clock.

Concern with the E36 door panel
Yesterday, the inside door panel came loose from my 1996 316i. Looks like the top rail, some plastic spigots, and the door lock surround were the only things keeping the panel in place after inspecting the door and panel. The glue that had been holding the spigots in place had finally given way. The ...
