diesel...BMW

I've got a fault...nothing stored in the BECM. As i drive it, if I let the throttle off completely the check engine light flicks up and the throttle is un responsive for one 'push'. if I take my foot off the throttle again and then put it on, then the fault disappears....It might be the...

Hello, Does anyone have the fuel injector pump tools that I could borrow please? I need to remove it, but don't want to pay the circa £150 to but the tools for one job...I can repay in anyway that you want! :)

There is a small hole in the scuttle which should drain off water. if this gets blocked you can get puddles which leak through the pollen filter...

Forgive the ignorance, what is LZIR?

Hello, I'm finishing off most of the things I wanted to do with my P38 before it is donated to my brother, but I need to connect it to a nano com (or similar) to re-calibrate the blend motors and to calm the EAS down. Is there anyone who would mind if i popped over for an hour or so to use...

Thanks.

Hi Team, I'm going to do the front oil seal in my BMW Diesel P38. only i don't have a crank holding tool, so i can remove the pulley. any idea where i can get my hands on one please? (or has anyone local got one please? Thanks! :)

Hi, I know everyone has their favourite diagnostics machine. i've been using the one up at my local independent garage, and paying £10 each time. I was wondering if anyone has one they would be willing to lend for a few days in exchange for beer or a bit of cash? this way I can play for a...

thanks all for the info! :)

Hello, I'm buying parts for the P38 again (this time a rear exhaust). when it says (up to VA346794) what does this refer to? I guess its the serial number of the vehicle? does it refer to chassis number too, or is it a separate entity? if so, how do I find it? Thankyou Muchly!

i didn't think there was much that worked with them nowadays!

My 1996 came with a standard ISO on it. You can buy the standard ISO fitting quite cheap in lots of places (eBay and halfrauds to name a few). should be easy enough to crimp an ISO on to the wires, then when you want to change it again it'll be easier too...

I've not moved the solenoids...how do I check they're in the right order?

Looks like you've spent a lot of time on the refurb. its not original (purists will obviously hate it) but if it makes it more comfortable to drive then why not - not everything was better 96-02! I'm considering replacing the tired grey interior on mine - just have to find it for the right...

i don't know about the order of lift, i didn't pay any attention to that... i've put them in as 1 RL 2 RR 3 FL 4 FR

i've cleared the faults on EAS and seal/filter pack en route for friday - maybe that'll help...
