Re: Heater blower transistor failure mystery...
Was having the same issue with my blower motor, tried all combinations of transistors, all seemed to fail, my soldering was not brilliant and eventually I 'lost' that little striped resistor somewhere on my bench ! Result , bought a new unit from BMW, lubricated bushes on fan motor and everything wo...

Re: M635csi SGS bonnet gas struts
I replaced the worn out struts on my bonnet, thinking that when you release the bonnet lock lever in the passenger footwell (RHD) that the bonnet would 'pop' up. I would then be able to use the gap between bonnet and wing to then lift bonnet. In reality releasing the lock only allows the bonnet to r...

Re: Lower valance
Goodness, that is too low and too lower profile tyres for the UK. With the state of our roads and potholes those wheels would be wrecked in about 10 miles of driving. And don't mention speed humps and sleeping policemen !! With that set up in the UK you wouldn't worry about the valence you would wor...

Re: Odometer Gears
Hi TimU,
Thanks for the pictures. They are exactly what I was looking for.
Do I assume that the top picture is the first combination of cogs going into the odometer with the second picture the final 'layer'
Really helpful and once again, thanks

Re: Odometer Gears
Yes, I have seen that, but I have all the gears out and it is not that obvious when on the bench where they all go and in what relationship.
I could do with a side on photograph of all the gears in situ.
But thanks for the help
