  1. Na not hard buddy, remove column surround, unbolt joint on the column at the bottom by peddles, unplug the wires, unscrew the screws holding in the switch in, replace and put everything back. can be done in like 30 mins. Yeah l can see why you would, but as we have all found out at some stage these things are never as simple as they should be lol Dont get me worng it may not turn out to be this (however it was in my mates case), but it would be a good shot to start with
  2. It could still be the ignition switch buddy, I know someone that had the same kinda problem and it turned out to be this. If you have no luck with anything else it might be worth changing it as it is only a few quid and pretty easy to change.
  3. with it having happened before the start of your policy, it would be fraudulent, so no one on here would condone such a thing dude However theoretically it could be done like that yes.
  4. There have been people that have done it buddy so it is possible, not sure how much work it is though lol
  5. Might be a broken CV in which case buddy, but you could always get a driveshaft with the cv, kill 2 birds and what not, however you still shouldnt be able to shift gears with the engine running and not using the clutch
  6. Just a thought, but your selector hasn’t come loose or busted? It would explain why you can shift gear with the engine running (as it wouldn’t actually be shifting gears) and if it kicked the box in to neutral when it happen it would also explain why you have no drive. I know it is a long shot, but might be worth checking before you spend on a new box
  7. I would say poly top mount I have heard good things about R32 wishbone bushes Rear axle bushes l would say after market ARB are worth upgrading buddy, size depends on what you want and might as well upgrade the ARB bushes when there I would say that it would be worth getting strut braces as well buddy and if you want to upgrade the brake you could always go for the 312mm which will fit under 16s buddy, which with good pads should give you enough stopping power
  8. Yeah they are just that crap buddy I have had my 4mo since like 09 and have been through at least 2 coilpacks since l have owned it!
  9. haha that is pretty damn awesome
  10. Im by no means an OCD cleaner but l use this stuff followed by the sealant glaze and it does the job nicely also easy to use and lasts ages http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/klasse-all-in-one-polish-and-sealant-500ml.php
  11. I would think a haldex with LSD and upgraded controller should do you fine for that buddy
  12. Fuel goes down about as fast but thats about it! lol
  13. one these? cos they do sound somewhat evil! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhYhYjRdD_E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtPLJC79Ek0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLv5DZlGU5w
  14. personally l would always go for manual buddy
  15. Good stuff dude, you should be able to find one being broken and nab the box off of it, just keep an eye on the for sale section
  16. Someone like this would prob be your best bet for large/heavy or large orders buddy, but any (good) transport company should be able to help you out. http://www.savannahfreight.com/Shipping-Cars-to-Namibia.html
  17. there you go craggsy as requested! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN2y8TR3Tlc
  18. You could always try changing the ignitions switch, cheap and pretty easy and can cause this sort of issue (might not be this but is worth a try)
  19. Having a scan through google it does seem to be somewhat common, but like everything car related it could be a number of things, corroded elements, broken wires, relay/fuse or the smart battery charge wire sensor thing. So l would say check the relay/fuse(s) first as it will be nice and easy if they are ok it might be worth giving it a scan to see if that brings up anything before moving on This isnt a problem l have had before (as l dont own a BMW) but dont mind a bit of googling to try and help
  20. Check the relay for the rear screen buddy, it might just be that it needs changing or has a loose wire
  21. Take the door card off and check the plastic clips that hold the bottom of the window dude. These have a habit of breaking which messes with the whole up down of the window
