Ali,

As correctly stated by Simon, you can't bypass the EWS system (EWS2 or 3). All you can do is tidy it up as best you can. There's not a lot of space behind an E30 glovebox to hide it out of sit ...

I would appear to need a new one.

Pattern part or BMW?

DIY or garage?

Thanks

Not a part that generally fails, so a good used one would be the cheapest option.

Luke,

It could be the switch, or possibly the check control module. This is between the switch and the bulbs, and could stop all the brake lights from working. It's physically under the left side o ...

Id never pay anyone £28 to do that.

£28 was for a replacement header tank, not labour charges. I'm sure BMW would want a lot more to change the radiator.

expansion tank is part of the rad and its the bit that always fails. Seems daft IMO that you cant replace the tank separately especially when the new rad is the best part of £100

Is it possible to control an electric radiator cooling fan with the DME? (Via a relay, obviously.)

It's actually wired like that in an M3. I don't know at what point it would switch it on though. T ...
