Well, i will swap my engine for a bmw 525tds (about 90000km - 55000mil) Hope this ends with my issues... (i am really fed up with out finding my overheating issues). About the bmw engine to fit the DSE, anything more than the sump and the fuel injection pump needs to be changed? The starter...

Bought from ebay a "sniff test" to find if theres a leak from combustion to cooling system. Meanwhile, will drain all the anti-freeze, flush all the cooling system with a caustic product and refill with a proper anti-freeze. ..but i am afraid the problem it is at the cylinder head or the block...

No, no leaks at all! In city traffic (even traffic jams) it runs nice...i get home, the hoses are soft and no pressure at the expansion tank BUT....when i drive in the highway (around 60-70mph - 120kmh) the temperature rises (almost to red) and when i get home, it builds lots of pressure and...

Hello, In a P38 2.5DSE, the cylinder head can crack easely, but the ods are the same to find a crack in the block? Is not as usual as a crack in the cylinder head, is it? I changed the rad (new), the thermo (new), the water pump (new), all the hoses, a new head gasket, fitted a AMC head...

Hi, A 05/1998 2.5DSE (manual, non EGR) engine can be swaped for an earlier one? My range has the metallic air intake manifold and i wonder if i can fit an engine with the plastic manifold (disabling the EGR, as mine is pre-EGR) Will i have to change the ECU also? And what about the BECM? All...

It pays visiting your BMW "brothers" forums...(bimmerforums.co.uk) Take a look at this doc http://www.motor-talk.de/forum/aktio...hmentId=658025 I have also to buy the electronic one...the cheapper one :-)

About the injectors lines....i changed mines for the silicon ones and solved the problem. Will have to change the electronic injector as the light in the dashbord sometimes lites.... but...a majos issue now....yesterday travelling home from my parents home at the country side, in the highway...

Maybe overhauling the FIP, or try first fit a new in-tank fuel pump

Brian, Injection pump? THE fuel injection pump? Or the fuel pump at the fuel tank? Thats the things i am going to do in mine (already have the sensors to fit in the cylinder head..)

If you could only imagine how much i have already spent in mine.... All the new parts i fitted in it, its almost a new car... (trying to fit oem land rover parts) Well, i changed the fuel lines...not cheked yet if it worked Waiting for the two head cylinder sensors (the ETC and ohter one)...

Hi Mike, Could you post a picture from the non-returning valve? I had a box (Digi Z Power Box) fitted in mine but i removed it. Got to the conclusion that was just over-fuelling the system...and suspect that was the cause for overheating... In a portuguese forum we discussed box vs chip vs...

All you need to do the job, LCD Backlight Repair In the cc switch, just need to replace the bulb (actually there are two of them...)

Just one....DHSE, LHD, 2000... (but i am happy wiht mine thanks) ...or a RR Sport...same price (low budget)

You are soooooo lucky..... Here in Portugal (mostly DSE's) still be very expensive (HSE's are cheepear). From 1999 (and a DSE) you wont buy for less than 8000GBP, for sure!!! The last ones (2001, 2002) hit the 10.800GBP..... ......:mad2::frusty::mad2::frusty: (dont forget the water...

Hi Ian.. Thats a good idea!!! eard that elsewhere and will do it to mine!!! Also had bought the 'hot start' fix from ebay but i think that thing never worked properly... Has Mike mentioned, you cut the line and fit in between the valve? best regards Joao

There are some amps in ebay, but couldnt find any dsp but you're right, better going to an aftermarket amplifier.....

Hi, Shall be one of these two the one you'r looking for....

Thanks for the info rewmer!! So in my case, i shall buy a dsp unit or an aftermaket amp. Also a newer steering wheel..... Thats it?

Hi, I am trying to do this by other way... Meaning i have a 1998 DSE...no radio steering wheels controls, no doors amps, no subwoofer.... I bought from ebay a steering wheel (w/ radio controls) and an alpine unit (XQD10158OLF). Meanwhile, i bought an aftermarket stero (kenwood) that works...

I have just the same issues.....no matter the pipes i fit (in a couple of months pipes have been replaced about 3times), they still spill between the first and the second injector and from the electronic one. Last injector has a kind of "dead end" pipe.....been replaced. I searched ebay, but...
