Hi everyone Changing the standard Type 11/21/22 rads in my house for more modern anthracite vertical and/or horizontal rads, wanted to know where I could purchase from? Ideally a store so I can return easily if any probs. The ones on Screwfix have mixed reviews so dont want to commit… I live in...

Beautiful! Just added that to basket on Screwfix together with filling kit

That’s great, thanks

And it’s all ok to just add one bottle without any testing? It’s been 7 years though since any top up

Hi 7 years ago when the plumber installed brand new combi boiler after power flushing the whole CH system he added a bottle of No Nonsense inhibitor. In the last few years I have taken a radiator off here and there for decoration and then just refilled with water from the boiler. The water in...

Want to thank everyone for all their help and detailed explanations. Have decided to just leave it alone and keep it on a constant temp and bump it up whenever needed, just like an in-screed system. Have trialled it in the bathroom today as it’s only a 300w mat as opposed to 3.5kw lol and so far...

Thanks for the reply, yes, I was thinking of that. Have put one in there for the time being. Problem is the bathroom, what would we do about the heating there?

Hi everyone 12 months ago we got a builder to do a detached double garage conversion into a studio annex. He quoted 2 months and took 12 months, and that was after I had to intervene and tell him how to do a lot of the building work by having a chat with the building regs man who was overseeing...

Definitely! I always go with genuine BMW with these sensors...

unfortunately not, but really appreciated your input :-) It’s in that link I posted: Pull out the gray clip on top, it moves about 1/4" and clicks. Then slide a thin flathead into the lower section of the slot on the rear upper (right side of picture). There is flap you have to gently press UP...

All sorted! Slid off so easily once I had ‘decrypted’ the method from: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1125026

Just tried that, still not budging, there is a tiny bit of back and forth movement between clip and sensor but that’s about it

Ahhh ok thanks John, I’ll give that a go now

Thanks for the reply, it could be, because I’ve had a look at the new sensor and it does have a prong type of thing in that area. Just don’t want to break anything as these clips are notorious for tgat

I’m trying to replace the MAP sensor, taken a pic of it. It’s so easy to swap for a new one as it’s on the front of the inlet manifold and just needs one nut out and then pulled out. But the dayumm sensor clip is not coming off. I pulled that grey tab backwards and it clicked in to that...

Hi I’ve had my 2011 BMW 730Ld (F02) for 5 years now and have clocked 120k on it. The last 2-3 years I’ve noticed that when it’s very cold in the morning (usually 6 deg C or below) when pulling out of the drive onto the main road (slight incline on driveway and then slight dip onto pavement...

Many thanks everyone for the help. An update: I had used Kwik fit mobile to supply and fit the new Pirelli run flat Tyres. Got lots of vibration after they fitted the front ones last week. I then took the car to another tyre place whom I've used in the past and they found all 4 wheels out of...

Hi John, no, I still haven't had runout done on hubs and discs, that is next on list, the dti gauge and magnetic stand on eBay for under £20 Thanks

Car is not write off, bought it from an honest private seller, did full HPI check myself, has full immaculate service history, all from main BMW dealer. I think buckled wheel is one issue that has to be sorted regardless as two tyre fitters have said that same wheel is buckled. Just ordered one...

Ok here's an update: So I drove the car with the new Tyres today for about 30 miles at various speeds and have found I get pulsation and vibration through steering wheel and brake pedal now even without braking, but more pronounced when braking. Am I right in thinking the new Tyres have just...
