It should be put in line, between exit from engine and intake on heater matrix. I put mine between the battery and coolant bottle, not sure where else to fit it but anywhere will do - within reason. Mine is working fine, but a word of warning: If you rig it to run your blowers to heat the...

Like someone else mentioned, you need to check your stroke is correctly positioned. Get a hold of a presicion vernier depth gauge. Use your dial indicator to position the suspected piston at BDC and record the depth from the cylinder top face to the crown of the piston. Do the same thing with a...

I don't really see the problem. You can tune or re-engine a car as much as you like, so long as you don't increase the power beyond what was available in the top-of the line model of the same vehicle. I.e. if you bought a BMW320d, you may retrofit a 3L petrol so long as you also do the required...

That's the one on the right. Does the sensor connect directly to the HEVAC unit or does it terminate at the becm? Henrik

Thanks, I'll try to figure it out. What you're saying is that, if there's no air escaping through the exhaust when the system is shut down, it's bound to be the connection at the valve block, the line itself, connection on tank or tank itself? That surely narrows it down. Don't worry, I do a lot...

Thanks again, Wammers. Are there any connections or possible leaks between the tank and block, other than the two I can see (purple line into block and connector on tank)? How likely is it that there would be a leak somewhere along the line itself? If air escapes the tank when the car is parked...

I overhauled the compressor and valve block a few months ago, so they should both be good. The car is not up after 3 days, it's down. It then takes several minutes to rise. There's no discernable change in height on start-up, only after it's been allowed to build pressure does it move. I suspect...

Thanks! Where is the sensor located?

Hi '97 P38 HSE The EAS is working fine, but I have a frustrating leak somewhere. If I leave the car for about 3 days, it will be close to the bump stops when I start it up, and it takes about 5 minutes to rise. Would this be consistent with a leaky tank? My reasoning tells me that it shouldn't...

Hi all, Car is a '97 P38. The AC has been out for a long time due to a leaky condenser, but otherwise the HEVAC has been working fine. Now it's developed an intermittent failure in the reading of the external temperature. It usually starts up at -40C, then after a while it suddenly goes to the...

Thanks guys! I'll give those things a try. Cheers! Henrik

Hi all, Here's a pleasant update: Mike has finally made contact and has started refunding what he owes in increments. Maybe he read this thread and felt guilty - i don't know. Anyway, it seems I'll be getting my money back. So thanks, everybody, for your tips and help. I will now let the matter...

Hi all, P38 4.6 HSE. I had the usual coolant leak from the heater matrix and I replaced the O-rings. Now the floor gets wet all the same, but it isn't antifreeze. This is rainwater from outside, and it drips out of the vents under the dash. Could the windscreen be leaking? Or is it more likely a...

Hi I just checked the stock. I have one 203 and two 202's. They're yours if you want them - just PM your home address and I'll drop them in an envelope. Might take a few days from Norway, but shouldn't be too long. Let me know! Henrik

I know. I've been in touch with them. At first they didn't reply to my emails, but going through their feedback profile, I actually found that they'd bought some BMW parts from Aglesey Auto Accessories, so I thought they must know who he is. When I referred to this in an email, I got an answer...

I managed to get hold of three or four transistors, and a couple of relays for the power board. If I remember correctly, I got them from DigiKey, but I could be wrong. The 202 is NLA, but I found a table for cross-reference and found an equivalent. Google was my friend through the whole process...

Ok, thanks. I may try that, but I've just had some fairly credible information that the business went bust and the owner exiled himself to Spain. I'll find him some day - maybe when I retire I will dedicate my life to hunting him down. :D

Hi No, that's the problem. He never did send me an address or a phone number, and ebay will not give up that information. Let me know if you come across something. Thanks! Henrik

Hi all, I hate doing this, but I've exhausted every other avenue. This man, Mike Russell, ran an e-bay store out of the Isle of Anglesey in Wales. He had a decent feedback score and communicated very politely. After I crashed my Rangie on a slippery road back in November, I dealt with Mike to...

I have the same problem, and this seems to be the only way to solve it. Glad it worked out. I will try it myself, but I'm afraid I adjusted the shut line so close it's gonne be a pain to get the bit in there. Cheers Henrik
