I don't have a direct contact, but you can reach him through eBay: http://myworld.ebay.com/ingusbenz I can attest that his under riders are chromed perfectly.

I did this for my 2002Tii...it was €500 compared to the €350 or so for the bluetooth version. My E9 has the new version installed from the seller's rebuild. If my new E9 unit ever suffers the oil invasion, I will send 123 my original dizzy for the swap of electronics.

Amen! I once saw the hand of a friend who had just after he accidentally got his wedding ring stuck between the starter 12V lug and the engine block. The wedding ring vaporized along with much of his skin. It was not a pretty sight! The wedding ring stays on the kitchen counter until I've...

As aussiecsi says, the 123Ignition electronic dizzie is a great upgrade. If you had the opportunity to see the timing mark dance around with a mechanical dizzy, compared to the rock steady timing with the 123, it's obvious. That said, some people have had a negative experience with oil...

Hi Chris, if you bumped a fuse and then had a continuous drop in battery voltage, I would suspect that the short pulled too much current through a diode (across a relay or device). The shorted diode is now providing a path to ground. I looked at the circuit diagram, and typically the relays...

I defer to the experts, and hopefully you can get your car to sfdon soon. In the meantime, there are only a couple of inputs to a D-Jet system: Make sure your vacuum line and electrical connector to the MAP sensor are in place. (see attached pdf) There are only three other inputs for the...

I agree. You might try this easy mod for a season before deep-diving into the AC mods. Rob Siegel also did a great write-up on the bypass mod. I followed his direction, and it makes a world of difference in the summer! A couple of angled hoses, clamps and the bypass valve... done in an after...

That would do it!

My passenger door was giving me fits to latch fully. Unless I closed it with firm, but not hard constant pressure, it would bounce out of the latch receiver. I could latch it from the outside, but even I couldn't finesse it to close by pulling the handle from the inside. I looked like such a...

I was glad to see that he got a good price for it. If the stars, weather, and planets had aligned, it might have gone a bit higher!

Hi Krzysztof, My tools of choice: The hooked awl will slip under the lip better than a screwdriver without biting into the body of the gauge. It lifts the edge smoothly without creating dents as a screwdriver will. You don't have to bend the chrome ring lip a full 90 degrees to slip it off...

Nice work! Can't wait to see it rolling!

Addendum... I had a leaky master brake cylinder noted in 2019 when I had the car inspected. I replaced the master cylinder, but had one persistent leaky fitting that leaked a bit of brake fluid through a hole in the wall and into the wheel well. So last year when I swapped the Getrag 4-speed...

Doh! I'm sure I played around with the positioning of those brackets, can't say why that didn't occur to me. As you point out, that would have been the wiser solution. Easy enough to slot the brackets for some position flexibility. I did use Owatöl and loaded the holes with grease when I...

Thanks for the write-up! A project planned for the Spring!

That's what I did on my Tii...

Thanks Johan. I happened across an oldtimer rally during my last visit. I chatted with a fellow with a nice E-type jag and mentioned the tax hit. He explained that once I change my tax residence and relocate to PT, I can import one of my cars tax free as part of my household personal goods...

These fellows in Germany will diagnose your ECU, or offer you a replacement: https://www.eps-elektronik.com/bmw-control-units/bmw-control-units.php For trouble-shooting, as mentioned earlier, Dr. D-Jet!

Love that Turkis Drew!:love:
