I hope this will protect me from such failures for some time although the radiator is not the only thing that may fail . I want to keep your spirit high, so I m not going to continue talking about these possible failures.

You will be thinking ... man, I shouldn t mess with this OBC because it looks really complicated and I may end up breaking something. Guess what? you are wrong! Fixing the OBC back lights is a very simple task and it s the subject of today s post.
Bentley BMW E36 Service Manual . . . A gold mine! http://www.bmwe36blog.com/2007/08/23/bentley-bm... To be honest with you guys, I've never been a fan of cars books or service manuals as I think they will not help you much to understand how your car works or even help you fix a problem inside it. I always thought that it is simpler to find what I'm looking for on the web (mainly forums) and so on. However, I think I've just changed my idea about these books or at least about a specific book that I heard a lot about. The book is the Bentley BMW E36 Service Manual. I've been told that this book is very good and it's a real gold mine for BMW E36 owners but I was suspecting that it's being over estimated until I ordered that book from Amazon and started reading it. Well, I didn't finish reading yet, but I decided to check how I can solve a problem that is happening to my car using this manual and see if it goes well.
BMW E36 Fog lights removal . . . DIY! http://www.bmwe36blog.com/2007/08/27/bmw-e36-fo... Today s post is about BMW E36 fog lights removal. I was thinking that this is a very hard task to do because I already tried it on my car and it was just hard. The problem is that the fog lights are in a very bad place that you can t easily remove or change as my car is maybe 10cm above the ground. This means that every time I needed to change a burned bulb or something, I had to dig deep until I reach it.It seems that this plan was not very good and that there s a much easier way to do it. So, if you either looking for changing your burned light or want to change/clean your fog lights, this post is for you. I hope you find it useful.
