Hi Guys Long time since I have been on here, as have been working away from home and have been using a company car (Vectra 1.9 SRi TDi yes I know a lot of people here hate them) during the week, hence my 88 360 GLT only gets used a little at the weekends. I have been having a problem for a while now...

Don’t know if this has previously been posted

If anyone is interested there is a feature on cheap motoring under £500 in this months Car Mechanics Mag December 2006.

On page 15 both the 340/360 and the 740 get featured in a positive way

Hi All

Not posted in a while, but my 360 GLT just passed 50000miles today, barely run in at 18 years old.

Hi All

Finally got back to the Breakers yesterday and pulled three different tappings of a 7 series B200e, I now have ones with a small medium and Large size hole in them, any suggestion on which one to use?

Thanks

James

Hi Pete Thanks for that I remember Chris telling me about the sensor at the BKV meet last year, went back to the breakers today and pulled the full consul, the sensor and anything else that I could see related to it, the car it came from was a Blue Line which looked nice from a distance but not so g...

Hi All

Does anyone know what the purpose of this fuse box is except to break the car down at an inopportune moment and have an RAC man looking everywhere for an hour and a half pulling the car apart only to find a blown fuse hidden behind the battery?

Thanks

James

Hope there Ok, as I have just got a set as well.

Hi All Went for a drive over the weekend, before I went I filled the header tank to the max limit, after 300 miles the tank is down about 1cm, this is way less loss than I have been having when I am doing short journeys to work, will keep an eye on the level, as the last time I filled it approx 2 we...

I have checked all the hoses and no leaks there, the car has done 43000 miles and I was thinking that it as probably going to be the water pump.

The car runs fine and will idle constantly, and never goes above the half way on the temp gauge

Hi All

Currently my 360 GLT is loosing coolant and I can not see where it is going to, I have no drips or puddles under the car and there is no mayo on the Oil cap.

Before I start pulling the engine apart does anyone have any suggestions as to where the coolant may be going.

thanks

James
