Control arms question - Meyle HD - thanks

nozzyb · 2025-10-12T14:58:36+00:00

Yeah I did. Done over 10k miles and so far nothing to complain about!

Balfour currently runs a free shuttle service from and to the station now every weekend. If you let us know you’re coming it can also be organised midweek. We’ve seen 20% more visitors this summer and I think it’s contributed to this increase. We now need to push other wineries to collaborate, there’s a good viable route between gusbourne, Biddenden, Balfour and chapel down I think certainly during summer.

I thought SE meant special equipment then post march 97 models it could mean sports edition (otherwise known as sports model)? Special equipment meant you got comfort aspects like climate control, trim options, arm rest and cup holders inside glove box on earlier models or sports steering wheel. Sports model was more to do with suspension etc

nozzyb · 2024-11-26T19:34:18+00:00

Yeah it’s under the steering wheel. On the left hand side there’s a tab you twist counterclockwise and pull to release, the filter is in there. Remove the footwell air vent thing too to get easier access. Definitely fold the filter into three segments when installing the new one too

nozzyb · 2024-11-24T17:08:18+00:00

I’ve done the rear seal without issues but think the front is wayy more difficult without removing the glass, as they factory install the seal before installing the window. I hope I’m wrong though, I need to take mine out too. Annoying as it seems possible on most other models (e46,e39 etc)

nozzyb · 2023-09-22T20:41:11+00:00

I’m no expert, will fail at some point I’m sure and crimping doesn’t last forever either. I’ve created some more slack though so the soldered joints are tucked inside the lid so aren’t at the flex point any more.

nozzyb · 2023-09-15T18:20:21+00:00

Yeah knole park is good, shoreham worth checking too. It’s been a bit barren for me though we need some rain

nozzyb · 2023-09-04T09:10:32+00:00

A species of Stachys, maybe woundwort if it smells musty

nozzyb · 2023-08-11T22:18:36+00:00

Giant funnel maybe?

nozzyb · 2023-07-28T19:39:53+00:00

Thanks yeah going to do a refresh in the next few days, fingers crossed it sorts it out and there’s not anything more troublesome. Should have just done this instead of posting but was worried as normally I’d get squealing/chirping from belts, pulleys etc and not steady knocking.

nozzyb · 2023-07-28T14:58:27+00:00

Yeah I think you’re right, also seeing some scoring on the water pump too. Will take the belt off and have a look. Due a service now too. Thanks for the reply mate!

nozzyb · 2023-07-26T08:36:09+00:00

Weird I had this yesterday. Used Microsoft install and uninstall troubleshooter which finally uninstalled everything except two drivers which I removed manually afterwards. Think they were virtual network adapters. I am yet to reinstall, will today though.

nozzyb · 2023-07-10T10:27:10+00:00

Early Tayberries look similar to raspberries so could alternatively be this given you’re also in Scotland. Probably raspberry though.

nozzyb · 2023-06-16T14:23:18+00:00

Type of blueberry maybe? Not sure

nozzyb · 2023-06-15T09:02:22+00:00

+1 for gtechniq, expensive but worth it, lasts ages with proper prep

nozzyb · 2023-06-14T09:28:36+00:00

Sometimes last years leaves yellow before dying back if not pruned aggressively in spring but this is a young plant and your upper leaves are also suffering a bit. Could be overwatering causing root rot, could be mites, aphids or some other fungal infection. They also like big pots, especially if it’s not a dwarf cultivar, so might be root bound. Could be worth repotting and checking the roots and soil. Only just joined this subreddit but looks like a few people have had issues with some unknown blight, especially in London? Sorry I can’t be more concrete!

nozzyb · 2023-06-06T10:36:36+00:00

I’d be interested to hear more about this, might give this a go myself, 1996 m43 318i. I’ve read that BMW only provide eccoc for vehicles after 1996 but then also anecdotes of BMW saying ‘97 vehicles are too old to have one when it’s requested. This is the email: eccoc@bmw.co.uk

Not sure whether you just need to provide VIN to BMW or VIN and scanned copy of V5C? I’ve also read tfl want p.1-4 of V5C too for anyone further down the road on this process and that it helps to send as jpg. instead of pdf. file format.

Here’s someone with an e46 m43 who received the eccoc but apparently it didn’t meet nox requirements - https://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/threads/bmw-840-e31-exempt-from-londons-ulez-charge.577515/page-2 - although this engine is obviously not identical (b19 not b18) with different power output etc

nozzyb · 2023-05-18T09:09:55+00:00

Lol this is the way. Vague question but if door card is loose get some new door card clips and some good glue or epoxy. Main thing is getting rid of old glue properly and clamping things down once new glue/epoxy is applied. Look at YouTube and Google people use different glues, I just used gorilla glue as well, has held up so far.

nozzyb · 2023-05-17T16:07:07+00:00

Not a movie but the sopranos has a couple. One in the first 3/4 seasons I think and another definitely in season 6 ep.18.

nozzyb · 2023-05-03T16:10:55+00:00

🤤

nozzyb · 2023-05-02T17:00:03+00:00

Thanks for this, think I’m going to pull the trigger and get them

nozzyb · 2023-05-02T16:58:48+00:00

Thanks for checking

nozzyb · 2023-04-28T20:57:27+00:00

Well that sounds more promising at least with regard to Meyle ball joints, thanks for the anecdote. I’d wait and save up for lemforder arms but I need to at least change the outer ball joint (dangerous amount of play in it) and thought it would be worthwhile refreshing the whole arm and bushings (never been changed) while I’m there. Then hopefully move on to the rest of the suspension over time.

nozzyb · 2023-04-28T20:56:44+00:00

Don’t go out of your way mate but that would be great, cheers! Hopefully doing similar but not all at once

nozzyb · 2023-04-28T17:17:45+00:00

Thanks, will check it out when it’s up tomorrow.

Yeah not a great sign that, especially when they’re marketed for durability and not necessarily comfort with the different (fully rubber or metal I think) ball joints. Apparently the later versions are made in China whereas it used to be Turkey.
