    M44 Engine project

    Hi, it does take HP from the engine so there is a loading, looking at fitting a pressure switch in the fluid line. This will detect when the fluid is moving in the steering rack and activate the pump. So the theory is by adjusting the amount of pressure detected by the sensor, the pump will be...

    M44 Engine project

    Got the engine fully stripped down this weekend to its component parts, the water pump was partially seized and the head gasket was goosed. But as Im only interested in the block and a few bits not a problem, the bores are in great shape with the honing honning ? marks very visible. So not...

    Engine size......What size suits all ?????

    I would say the for a bit of fun motoring the M43/M44 1.9 works very well for an everyday driver, that will still take you anywhere you want to go. Make sure you test drive a few different models and find out what work has been done, these cars are getting older and they do need up-keeping...

    D.I.Y arch rolling

    Hi I used the broom handle cut down to 10 inches to bend the arch lip back. The wood was to put on the tyre to give a bit more pressure, I started at the edge and made my way to the centre. Take s about 15mins to do one arch a bit at a time, going to finish the smoothing and then rub down the...

    D.I.Y arch rolling

    Sold some 20mm spacers a while back and after dropping them off at my local post office, using Parcel Force 48 they were never sent. In fact they sat at the post office until I had the time to drop by and find out what happened. So back they came and today I fitted them to my rear wheels...

    Front brake upgrade and calliper rebuild

    Bit of a schoolboy error on the brakes, I got E46 325 callipers when I should have got E46 325i/s callipers.The 325 are 286 vented same as the 2.8/3.0 and the 325i/s are 300mm. So should be a marked improvement in braking and with the braided hoses even more so, at some point will go with...

    Front brake upgrade and calliper rebuild

    It would only have been a matter of time before a nasty brake fail, so a pain it happened but happy it did really. Could have been rather scary and no happy ending. Andy
