I've bought another shed......

[danny-R]

Some of you might already know but I swapped my p2 for a 325ci msport coupe and gave it to the mrs. Earned some serious brownie points. It was just getting ruined carting me and my tools about so have just bought a v70 t5 for scrap value needs a bit of work for mot but seems a decent car. Only downside is its me7.
its only done 130k and has full leather with 7 seats heated and everything. Will upload a few pics Today then see the difference after its mot and a good clean.
its lumpy on idle so changed the maf for a good one but still the same. Watch this space

under inlet manifold. dump it out side mine one weekend and you can try out some nice new goodies for it.

[danny-R]

Do you think it could be accessed without removing the rad or inlet. Cheers graeme will give you a text

[graemewelch]

i removed the fan on mine when i cleaned it. made it loads easier. one tin of carb cleaner and it was sorted.

[c70geoff]

doubt it mate
inlet can stay on
i found out after i removed everything bar the rad
best to go the rad route

[danny-R]

Ive took the fan out but still cant see what im doimg lol

[c70geoff]

its under t he inlet mate

[graemewelch]

this might give you a rough idea of what going on under that manifold

[danny-R]

Ive gave up for the night it got too dark. I took out the 4 t25 screws but then read somewhere it is 4 10mm bolts so will have another go tomorrow. Will be ordering 2 new bottom arms and 2 strut tops. Got new discs pads and arb links. Then 2 tyres and it should be good to go

[danny-R]

Cleaned out the etm and it idles perfectly. Ive decided im going to put it through mot then sell it and buy a non me7. Already fitted discs pads arb links bottom arm and strut tops. Drivers side caliper is sticking so needs replacing. Still need to adjust handbrake and fit 2 front tyres and give it a good valet.

[danny-R]

Mot passed. don't know how when the dash is lit up like a christmas tree. Eml, etm , abs and fuel lights are all on. Picking it up from test centre was the first time I've even sat in it. Even with all the lights on it drives smoother than any other volvo ive been in. Going to try reseting the codes in the morning as it won't rev past 6000 and tbh doesn't feel like its boosting properly could be down to the etm light whatever that is ?

[graemewelch]

push down harder on the pedal lol

[danny-R]

Foot was nearly through the floor and it just stops at 6000 revs and another thing. The fan stays running for ages after its turned off?

[danny-R]

Been driving this a while now and its starting to grow on me. Ive stuck a set of dunlop winter tyres on it so I might just keep it over the winter as the bmw probably wont get off the drive in the snow. It has lovely heated seats even the rear bench is heated which must be pretty rare? It hadnt been driven or cleaned for a year before I got it and I've still not cleaned it lol.
It does have a fault that bugs me though. There is a light that looks like handbrake light and it comes and goes. When its on the speedo doesnt work and its not as fast as it should be. It goes very well when its not lit though, any ideas?
