i just got a diagnostic check on my abs system as the abs light kept lighting up. two fault codes came up: 00285 - abs sensor (i think) and 01276 - hydraulic brake pump. my car's a 97 VR6 obd2 i been told that by changing the sensor it might resolve the hydraulic brake problem. do you think this could be true? im having doubts im afraid. if the brake pump needs changing will the ecu need changing at the same time?? thanx

hi guys, recently i have noticed my car revving up quicker above the norm. as i plant my foot right down the revs seem to shoot up about 800 - 1000 when im driving at low revs but performance doesnt seem to respond straight away, almost as if there is a lag. does this seem like symtoms of a wearing out clutch? if so what clutch wwould be reccomended as my car engine is standard and wont be charged until at least a year. thanx in advance piv

http://www.performancealloys.com/details.asp?procedure=wheel&id_wheels='BBS%20LM'&id_wheels_manufacturers='BBS'&id_wheels_sizes='17x7.5'&price='434'&permission=160759645 found this site that states all wheels and fitments are avalible. ill have to get in contact with them to confirm 5x100. do you know if i can put deeper dishes onto them? guess the design 90's will have to be winter wheels if the dishes on LM's can be changed

could any one reccomend any good bodyshops in the london area (dont mind traveling but not too far) as in need of rust removal. basically bought the car with the plastic arch trims and water must have got behind them and rustted up the arches. now all four arches need attention. also some rust found as you open the door at the bottom between the ruber. how much am i looking at to repair? im thinkin only the sides will need spraying? thanx piv

as stated in the title im after some bbs LM's. Just wanted to know if they were split rims or just one piece. the reason i ask is that i would like to get biigger dishes put on as the effect i want is 17's x 9 inch (including a deep dish) and slammed on my konigsports. also what offset would you reccomend and are spacers needed? cheers for the help in advance.

would 2400 grade wet and dry be ok for goin over the laquer before a final polish? cheers 4 all your help much appreciated. oh and your engine bay looks heavy!! saw it in the flesh at E38 and WOW!

would you know what grade wet and dry to use? another tip i've been given is to use plastic primer filler and that would give the desired effect then paint and lacqure. lets just say id like a second opinion of this

does anyone know if it's possible 2 colour code the door trims because due to the texture some say that it's not possible to do. i know there is the option of fitting cl items but the problem is finding them at a reasonable price. I'd be very greatful for any info as i'll be undertaking this on my own. thanx

[blockquote]Kev H "If you want punchier acceleration, dump the Autobahn orientated 3.39 diff and fit a shorted 3.68 one from a Corrado G60. It really gives the VR the acceleration the cubic capacity implies."[/blockquote] i have a 2.8 vr6 obd2, could i still achieve the same final drive (3.68) by using the one from a g60 or does this only apply to corrado's?

hi all, dunno if this is the correst section for this post so sorry if it is. i picked up a set of inpro r32 look lights from international for quite cheap and was wondering if anyone could recomend bulbs to make them look brighter. at the moment im a little dissapointed with the brightness as there are many bmw's runninng allot brighter rings. would the loom need upgrading or could i just replace bulbs (if so which ones) cheers
