That float wire moves up and down up and down continuously, eventually it will break. Just needed to reconnect the wires again, or change to a softer wire since the original one will be very brittle by now.
This car needs love!
I have collected my CBU UK e39 530i black premium sport and went for the following parts :
1st Stop - M1 Segambut
Replaced 2 front absorbers and mounting accessories for RM 1860
Replaced missing white side signal indicator - whole set for RM 105
Conclusion, fast and attentive but price is very high - cut throat aka cut neck
2nd Stop - BM World, Bandar Tun Razak
Left side mirror cover dislocated by someone (culprit or passerbys placed the cover loosely back on to the exposed metal mirror, thankfully)
Black glue on 4 legs and taped for for glue setting overnight - FOC ! said is a goodwill service, pleasantly surprised me.
Conclusion, nice and pleasant chats with the young man there, gained insight on the extremes of SC and other good infos. Amazing knowhow.
3rd Stop - HKL Motor works, Taman Segar Perdana, Cheras ( nearby my house )
Lemforder Front Lower Arm 2 pcs x 400 = RM 800
Bilstein Long Shaft Coupling 1pcs = RM 185
Engine mounting 2 pcs x 170 = RM 340
Gearbox mounting 2 pcs x 65 = RM 135
DOT4 all brakes oil flushing/siphon = Rm 32
Intake air filter = RM 48
The checks were performed on my request that the driving wasnt smooth over bumps as i feel the car felt slided sideways. Any other items which the mechanic (boss) suggested to change and hence the above items were ordered and replaced. I have also indicated to him another problem, my steptronic gearshifts from D to S without problems but will be stuck from S to D. Only after a few more tries, the gear will engage D.
This is odd and i fear the worst (few days ago went to another BMW specialst in Kuchai Lama and the boss says it could be this and that blah blah, may need some chop shop items or costly replacements) The boss Ah leong dismantled the gearshift cover from the driver seat and flipping the gears trying to find the fault. He tried it for 10minutes and modified a metal sheet as a retainer to make the shift back from S to D. He did it in 15 minutes. Later i found from the above picture it is a missing item 2 and 3. It was not there in the gearshift assembly. Ah leong solved it without even knowing the missing items and no parts diagrams to refer and i am impressed.
All works completed and after a 2 test drives and checks/adjustments at exhaust portion, the car still have a faint rattling noise. Again the test drive and found the culprit in the rotor back cover having steel debris causing the sound. Another test drive and car up on jacks again for bolts tightening. The determination to solve the noise issue are evidently demonstrated here.
The bill for all the above works are RM 120, i was like OMG. Felt guilty for the bill amount and promptly paid before he change his mind, lol.
Total Bill = RM 1865

So far so good but probably take a few more weeks of usage before can safely say the overhaul is successful or not.
BTW the repair kit consists of o-rings and there were many of them. Hopefully all were done correctly.
zib;675784 said:So you can always stop the fan with your bare hands (provided u wear safely gloves to save your fingers)
I wasn't brave enough to do it. It was the mechanic who demonstrated to me how bad the fan was. Prior to that he had tried it with gloves on.
Thanks bro. Always appreciate people who are willing to share their ilmu.
Same lah bro. Those days maintenance mostly DIY - oil, brakes , spark plug and even timing pun DIY.

My ABS and ASC light up intermittently since last week with symptoms of late gear change ..got it diagnosed and found the faulty rear right wheel sensor. It was brittle, damaged and broken. He tried to solder the wires for temporary solution but it didnt work...ended up ordering ori sensor and i was quoted rm 380...will fix that tomorrow
