    Hand Brake Part

    difficult to make it out from that part. but im sure it comes on the cable itself
  2. Sure i will have replied to your posts before. My user name on e36 coupe is 'marcus' used to be maccavvy. been on there since jan 04 with over 6.5k posts lol. Hope you find the culprit soon.
  3. Nothing too major i suppose. Im a self employed carpet fiter..been working for many different shops for many years. 2 main contracts others as and when. A few weeks back one shop found out id done a job for a guy who does interior design 4 miles from shop ,he supplies the stuff i just turn up and fit. Guy said if i fit for interior design he doesnt want me working for him,so i ask why, he has personal issues with him. Although his wife works for his company making curtains ..so if his wife works for him..why cant I ? So yesterday he found out i was fitting for interior design company,not on a day i work for him i may add,and calls me with an ultimatum. Him or me....so i argued my case that i can work for whoever i want..he says yes,but if you work for him you will have no work for me. Now i dont do ultimatums well..and felt backed into a corner and bullied ,so i made the decision not to bow to his rules and walked out on a 8yr contract. Shame in my eyes...but why should his personal feelings get in the way of my work. So things maybe a little tight till i get into some more contracts to fill those days. So heres to a new and brighter future...
  4. e36 coupe i presume then ?? were the pistons ok on the calipers. i has some small pitting on one of mine and a refurb seal kit didnt sort it out. Outer lower balljoints do cause issues on these. double check amount of brake dust on the wheels for equal consistency though. Plus what discs are you using. cheaper ones can be a royal pain. Ive had bmw for a few years now so should be able to help you out here. heres my old e36 vvvvvvvvvvvvvv and my current ride.
  5. What car is it. it could be a sticking caliper or even some worn wishbone bushes. it may not be the discs.

  7. No spacers for me then... .got a contact for some as it happens. what diameter/thread stud do i need. ?
  8. My rear wheels fit too far inside the rear arches. Ive got 10mm hubcentric on my bmw to clear my 4 pots,been on over 12 months with no issues. But wondered on the stud size and any recommendations really
  9. Im looking for some wheel spacers for the back of my 7 what pcd do i need? What studs do i need? is it easy to replace studs. should i go for hubcentric or not bother? all info welcome.
  10. Unless a miracle happens at work i wont be there yet again. got in at 9 tonight .looking at same tommorrow.
  11. Well declared my sb sorn from end of month.so was hoping to get some good weather over weekend. Today was that day...me and the mrs got wrapped up and went to cleethorpes for the laugh. Got fish and chips and came home. 1st time ive been more than 15 miles away in it. Got plenty of admiring glances and a wave from a passing westie. All in all a good day,just thought id let you know.

    Back Again

    Get well soon dude. Im a carpet fitter suppose i got this to look forward to.
  13. i went to machine mart. was approx 25 quid. waterproof and lined too.
  14. get some gaz from dave..top service and top price. I got mine about 2 weeks ago, got brackets from kit spares were delivered in 2 days. got some new bolts and drills and got stuck in. Best money i ever spent..ride and handling difference is chalk and cheese
  15. I say go to a local sign shop and see what they got to match up for you. I doubt youll get it exact. You can get a picture printed onto vinyl then apply as one big sheet. You could also layer up to get the desired effect. Its best done in warm conditions its not very flexible or forgiving when cold. Also if its an awkward shape....Leave to the pros.
  16. Cheers guys ..keep em coming. @ iggy. That carbon is awesome..Expensive??? @thrashed...what is your dash made form and how did you get that shape..custom?
  17. Ive decided over winted to lose the ford clocks...i hate them with a passion. So Gonna look at some nice seperate gauges. Show me your dash to give me some inspiration. All in one motorbike style dashes need not apply here. Not interested in them.
  18. Some of the roads abroad can be shocking. But do have a number if needed.
  19. already emailed lazer man. cheers guys.
  20. more details needed please. Forum member???
  21. My front grill doesnt really fit correctly. looking for a new one or advice on where to get one. Cant find one on kit spares.
  22. What did you fit and where from... we need info
  23. Fitted now. I had to fit them near the front of the spring seat . as the shocks that were fitted were on a mount that was cut out in the middle. Work fine. Just need to tweak the ride height now.as i bottomed it out earlier.
  24. thanks anyway guys. but got some from kit spares. good fit too. Got the coilys on earlier today. just need to set the ride height now its settled.
  25. Got myself my gaz coilovers,thanks to dave @dampertech. got my upper and lower mounts courtesy of kitspares I got a good idea on how to takle this but does anyone have any advice before i attack it. Best place to fit lower 'U' mount ,pics would be of great help. Thanks in advance
