September would be perfect, my E34 will be back on the road by then. It would be sooner, but i have to wait for the exhaust bits...

The fuel filler flap hinge is under €20 from the main stealer (I just got one - still have to get it to the new owner of my old 525!). I had alot of those funny electrical glitches in mine, like when I locked the doors, the instrumentation cluster lights came on! The left hinge in the boot (as you open it) contains the wiring for part of the rear lights, reg plate lights, locking etc.. The wiring loom here gets stretched and the wire insulation splits allowing wires to contact each other or in some instances break. So 1st thing I'd do is check that these are all intact and if not then make them so. It solved all the weird little glitches in my one in a flash. We have meets every now & again Dave - I must go about getting one together in September. |

Hi, Well, there's one things that i can't figure out. The right hand side indicators of my car have stopped working all of a sudden. The left ones work fine. If i switch on the hazard light switch, only the left ones come on. Anyone any experience with this? Thanks Dave |

Well, i'm looking for a few bits and pieces, but haven't a clue where to look (petrol flap hinge, new lock for the boot, ...) If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great. I ordered a new exhaust system, but have to wait for another two weeks for the centre box section I guess that until then the car will be off the road. In general i'm just looking for tips and hints about this car. it's my first BMW ever (but it won't be my last!) so i have little or no experience with these cars. Do members in the Cork area get together regularly or is it more of an online situation? thanks dave

There are Dave, & welcome to the forum! There's a 5 series technical forum here too. I've had an E34 518i & 525i before, and know some of the foibles, so fire away & I'll see if I can help you.
