Both done now :) just ordered some osram night breakers off e-bay for the full beams so that should do me for the winter :)

Matt, you are my hero :D

Did mine today, instantly smoother. Thanks to all involved :D One little tip I would like to pass on, get an old broom handle or any thing similar and cut it down to 25 inches and hold the clutch pedal down with it and place it against the bottom of the seat ( seat fully set back and a rag...

Dropped the bumper today and fitted HID dipped beam in off side and that was fine, did the nearside and nothing!! swapped ballast over and that is the culprit. Put it back together with old bulb in nearside and xenon in off side so dim and bright dipped beam at the moment. Battery went flat...

Fraser, when you got the slam panel off and the the screws under the wheel arch out and pulled the ends of the bumper out what did you do then? did you just press the front of the bumper down and then pull i t out? I tried that but it did not want to play :D put it back together in disgust when...

Hi Fraser, mine is same as yours ( facelift ) the drivers side headlamp cover is possible to remove by getting rid of washer bottle top ( 10mm bolt ) and lift off, when this is done release the cap and let it drop down, when retrieving it keep flat side of cover hard against the inner wing and...

Hi Fraser, sorry cannot help you as I have put the job on hold, the weather has been pretty dire and I cannot get car in the garage. Will have a go when and if conditions get better. :)

What!!

It is your O/S front wheel bearing by the sound of it. As you go round a right hand bend the pressure is taken off the off side so bearing goes quiet ;)

H1 ;)

If going for molykote 55 on e-bay it costs £7 - 50 for 100g with postage,see tourer owners link. If you use univars it costs £45 - 36 with postage, your choice :D

Just had a look at some discussions by our friends over at tsx and seems some like HIDs for reversing and some go for LEDs! just a thought, would HIDs not be a tad bright for any body behind you ?

Thanks Andy, will try again and if not I will move bumper.

Many thanks Brett mate :) I should have worded it better, I did actually get it off the back of the headlight but could not get it out from the top! not enough room! If I pulled and twisted it any further I may break it,am I missing some thing? Is there some other way to get it out?It is the...

Hi, just got HIDs delivered so too late to fit ( darkness imminent ) any way have had a dummy run taking the off side plastic back plate off and it does not want to come out ! I had already taken the washer bottle top off. Have tried google search as I am aware this will no doubt have been...

Talking of BMWs Faddy, I love driving the 320d again since you breathed your magic on it, so thanks again mate :) I now have two really good cars to choose from B)

So that's a facelift and a pre-facelift that are good to steer ! that should mean that there is nothing wrong with the 7 gen in particular and probably just tyre fussy and also need good alignment .

My face lift estate is 300 front and 282 rear. possibly different from saloon . :unsure:

Yeah same here, nothing up with mine at all, but mine is the face lift.
