Thanks slyder, true bro i knew bout the door clips..but too bad that time i asked my fren to collect the car..
Ohh i see ,damn kena again..coupling aso they markup..others okay uh?

 

[slyder]

Others cant remember need to go back check my stack of resits btw mine is 328 so some parts might be different. see that you are in penang. perhaps transportation cost to penang so slightly more?? i know last time when me and my dad was fixing our accord ca4 some of our parts we went straight to singapore to get as in kuching its way way more hiked up coz transportation cost.

 

[unstopables_7]

[Chrix]

unstopables_7 - Headlamp switch, the entire assembly (include the air cond piece) or just the round switch?

 

[unstopables_7]

[Chrix]

M50 engine
Radiator plastic housing = RM380
Steel thermostat = RM 250 + o-ring = RM8x2=16
Labour = RM50

First time going to this shop.. is that reasonable?

 

[Galaxy7]

Radiator plastic housing is the one on the left & right side of radiator right?
I changed mine last time, left side for RM60(housing price only) at jln genting klang aircond workshop.

I'm new and not sure if this is the right place to ask.
Please recommend good BMW workshop (I don't want to go AB or the authorised ones which cost a bomb) to do repair and servicing work.
Currently, my E36 has problem with the auto-lock, alarm and P, ABS, Airbag lights are always on.

Thanks.

Forgive me, I found the appropriate post regarding workshops.
