Hello everyone, The instrument cluster in my car recently failed. I have already tested the fuses and taken the cluster apart and measured all the capacitors and couldnt find the fault, so I reached the conclusion that the cluster is shot beyond my ability to repair. Now I want to get a used...

Ok guys, So Saturday last week I finally got rid of my diesel astra and converted over a BMW E46 COMPACT 316ti es. So the other day the coolant light came on so I put a litre of coolant in and all ran fine until the next day I popped to the garage to pick up some tobacco. Got back into my car...

Hi guys The rear wiper on my 316ti compact is not working :hmm: When I bought the car it didn't work, but I figured it should be an easy fix. The wiper itself was stuck. Lots of WD40 and some patience helped it being able to move. But still when I activate the wiper, it won't move. The washer...

Hello, My mechanics knowledge isnt great but I've given it my best shot. I have just brought a BMW 316ti 53 Reg Compact. The rear wash and wipe doesnt work, thats the wiper or washer. I have asked the garage to repair it as I found the fault the day after purchase but they claim its not covered...
