Me too, that's a great link Marty, I should have looked at it first!

Phew! After a good day of taking this to bits to see whether it can be repaired, result! With a scalpel & tweezers it can be done as long as the windows were working albeit intermittently, knowing that the chip hasn't or any other of electronics has gone. (As my sunroof was still working...

I've got a PSI VP power chip on my P38, switchable by the front foglight switch. I don't use it much but the guy from Promotive (BMW specialist), told me that the motor will love it as they are so under stressed. I must admit it does make a lot of difference and will pick up and go quite...

All done :-) whipped the old air condenser out. it had gone on the top left hand corner, common problem, apparently the black sponge under the slam panel holds moisture like a tight sponge and it sits directly on top of the air condenser for a cushion efect and rots the damn thing, so i've...

Looks really nice, I got mine last week!! I'm starting to get anal about it :-) I also got my aircon working today!!

Thanks, l might do that. Tomorrow night sorted! Thanks for the advice.

I've done more or less exactly what you are planning & have the same problem, no aircon! it's a minter. I've found the condenser has gone on the a/c. Best thing i've ever done, i love it and it goes so much better if you chip it. Have it you won't regret it :D
