I have looked hard for the connection from underneath but it disappears up into the bulkhead area somewhere. Next time it's on the lift I'll take a closer look.

Yes, the feed hose to the pump.

Thanks, I was half heartedly hoping there was a magic answer but I kind of new it was just a pig of a job, maybe for another day !.

Thanks but it is just getting to the connection between the flexible and steel line that I'm struggling with, I can't even see where they connect to even have a go at disconnecting and replacing the hose. Presumably it's connected at the factory before anything else is in the engine bay. Also...

I have replaced all of the engine bay fuel hoses with ethanol resistant ones but for the life of me I can't see how to replace the hose from the steel pipe from the tank into the bay as it is connected to the pipe seemingly up behind the bulkhead. I can see the pipe disappearing up into the...

Well that was the best job I've yet done on the E3. For ten years I've been bothered by drivetrain thumping when taking up drive, unless using slightly higher than normal engine speed. The guibo and prop shaft bearing are both in excellent condition so I never attempted any fixes. So this year...

Thankfully they are identical apart from one stud being about 1/2" longer which is neither here nor there with regards fitment.

OK, probably wrong then. I'll soon find out, delivery in five minutes !.

I'm replacing the gearbox mount and figured it would also be wise to renew the engine mounts as they appear relatively soft and deformed. One query I have on the mountings, Real OEM gives part number 11 811 132 322 however I have sourced a Febi Bilstein part number 06739 that cross refers to 11...

Is it oem ?, didn't notice that, maybe should have searched further. Anyway it's done now, given the poor quality of aftermarket rubber components these days at least it should outlast me.

It's almost £80 GBP with shipping. I'd rather just pay the little extra for oem at that price.

Yes but not in the UK

Just had to order one of these (23711102692), I certainly wasn't expecting a price of £110 GBP!!!. Seems rather a lot for what it is however it is OEM!!!!

Any idea if the Porsche caliper is the same ATE part as BMW ?. Joking aside I would like to buy the tool rather than mess around with bits of paper.

I have another pair of non vented fronts that Dr.Brown bought from Jaymic, also ATE, worth hanging onto.

I replaced the fronts last year from the spares that came with the car, the Jaymic box was dated 2008, a wise purchase by Dr.Brown.

Yes, I would rather use OEM anyway. The discs look to be original so definitely need to be replaced, do it right, do it once :)

ATE

Could anyone confirm if this is the same tool required for the rear calipers ?. I think I read somewhere that the same caliper was used on certain Porsche models. If not where can the correct tool be purchased ...

Expensive though, £150 delivered. Beggars can't be choosers.
