    Series 3 2.25 Diesel 88" Front Leaf Springs

    The hanger bolt centres on mine is 90mm with a 12mm gap before spring hits chassis, Note the angle of the dangle on mine it’s much more vertical than your hanger To me it suggests a weakened spring, think I counted 11 leaves on yours as it should be but are they all intact of one or more...

    Shouldn’t have thought you could fit them wrong way round , did you say you had fitted new springs Can you post a pic of the whole spring I’ll measure my hanger lengths tomorrow, I have an 88 diesel,, should be 11 leaves with 9 leaves just on the petrol

    Series 3 Wiper Motor Removal

    Apologies was thinking you wanted the outer sleeving so I think you’re right it should pull out , I would be tempted to turn on wipers a few secs while pulling It looks like the square end fits to motor so if it was pulled out from motor might be able to unscrew it by hand as the spiral but like...
