Happy New Year all.
Should the standard boot tool kit contain a spark plug socket? Pete |

| Mine -- '85 635csi -- appears to contain one! Rightly or wrongly. |

-yes it should, big long (7") fat (1" dia) thing with a hole for a tommy bar in it. 6er tool kit is a thing of much loveliness when it is complete, worth searching out all the bits, I reckon. cheers

Thanks for that. Thought that's what it was for. Just put a new
set of Bosch W7DC's in and also fitted a K&N air filter. Pete |

Good to see everyone's got plenty of tools!
What's the thing on the far end for? I haven't got one of those. |

Are you referring to the towing eye? Chrome bumper cars won't have, they have an integrated eye protruding through the front lower valance. On the Highline cars with plastic bumpers, there is a thread to screw the eye into!  ------------- My 635's.

It's behind the restraining strap, you can just see it. The emergency window winding seems to be a bit of a McGyver palaver.   ------------- AndyS Live each day as if it's your last - one day it will be. http://www.photostick.co.uk/view-933_BaurSig1.jpg" rel="nofollow">

Hmm, yes, black cat in a coal cellar too- its almost the same colour as the tray, isn't it... I've seen three or four different editions of the owners manual; only one mentions the window 'adapter'- but it came in the tool kit of the other two cars anyway, and is required for at least one of them. Basically if you pull the plug off the door and/or the rear trim panel and you can see a plastic hexagon (which will be set a way back on the rear) then you are OK. If there is no hexagon (as on the rear windows of my '85 project car) then you need the 'widget'. I would say its chances of falling down in the rear panel are very high indeed if you actually tried to use it.... cheers

Ben would be pleased with that result, the last I heard his rear windows were still stuck/rusted up!
