@james76g 7 ай бұрын
Hi there. No, it sold shortly after the video went live and the buyer mentioned that seeing the video of it working was partly why they bought it. Went for £100 in the end, which I was very happy with.

That's right. Make the people suffer so the council bosses can keep their salaries and pretend they're doing it for the public good. No other sphere of life would sustain public sector thinking.
@james76g 7 ай бұрын
There's a good number of reasons why the council has to cut back on services. Reduction in central government funding being one, an inherently inefficient organisation structure being the another but I don't believe salaries are the reason. Councils are not places where you'd typically seek out high paying jobs afterall.

I found another video on KZbin (kzbin.info/www/bejne/lV69Xn2Ff76KjMk) suggesting that they were launched in 2003, so twice that. The 27Mhz radio gives it away really, but I still think it's a great looking example of the type. I can't get mine to run reliably though, so I've still not given it a proper run out.

I can't remember Dan, sorry. I never installed it in a car and so never got to dig in to the features much. It must have been ace back in the day, but in a modern world it's a lot of boxes for not a lot of functionality.

Why my cartridge can’t detect my 7” records? I have the same turntable
@james76g Жыл бұрын
There is a small switch under the platter that detects 7" records. There is a small hole in the rubber platter mat that needs to line up with this switch so make sure that is right. Then there is a second switch toward the back near where the arm mounts. This switch detects a 12". If this switch is broken or stuck in the closed position it won't detect a 7" record on the platter. So check that too. Good luck.

This was/is such an easy fix… it is actually the turbo actuators. Common issue and there was even a recall by BMW (Alpina) to fix this Had you have bought the car for less than £1000 you could have had an amazing machine
@james76g 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Mehmet, thanks for this, I always wondered what the issue was. Unfortunately this wasn't at a BMW dealer and so they wouldn't have known about the recall and sadly despite our best efforts, they wouldn't sell the car in its existing condition. But somebody got a lovely car for certain. My friend Rob did go on to buy another D3 however and more recently he has upgraded to a B5. You can see pictures of both the D3 and my own B2.5 on my Instagram page @james76g.

Thanks for making this video. I recently acquired the same unit. However, it seems that it will only display after initial boot the radio, setup, CD, and other functions if the NVE-ND055 is connected. Without this connected, the screen is blank after initial boot. Any thoughts on why this might be?
@james76g 2 жыл бұрын
Hi and thanks for the comment. I don't know why you are seeing what you are as the NVE-ND055 was always an add on unit, and so shouldn't be required. The only thing I can think is that it is defaulting to the Nav unit on boot up and with it not connected it can't do anything. For reference when mine starts for the first time it opens with the radio, as you will have seen in the video. I also have the same Nav unit, but I don't have the remote or the aerial for it so I haven't included it in this video.

@james76g 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Tom, no worries. It's great, I use it all the time. It can't remove wheel nuts when they are fully torqued up (110NM), but pretty much everything else I did on my R53 it handled fine, which was most of the suspension, removing the front crash bar and so on.
@spankeyfish 6 жыл бұрын
I don't recommend 'bouncing' the breaker bar as, from experience, it can work its way off the nut as you're 'bouncing' it. Other than that, perfect technique for DIY. Using the weight of the car to stop the wheel rotating is the best way to do this.
@james76g 6 жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for taking the time to comment and for the tip. Ideally I wouldn't have stood on the breaker bar, but I didn't want to cause myself too much strain, so felt it a better option. Perhaps a bigger breaker bar next time?
@spankeyfish 6 жыл бұрын
Bigger is always better, I have a 1m one myself :) Standing on it isn't really a problem if it's stable enough. I've also used my breaker bar and a load of weights as a crude torque wrench for high-torque applications before I felt like I could justify buying a big torque wrench.
@josepeixoto3384 2 жыл бұрын
Don't think so,impossible to work its way off,it's a *long* nut; all he needed was an extension, a piece of tubing 2 feet (and do C L E A R the area of people, when the socket,or the bar, breaks,it will fly off)...; i have 5 or 6 tubes ,all sizes; standing on it,like it was done,is ok too; been a mech for over 40 years.
