I recently purchased my new love, and joined the forum when I was having issues with my cooling system.

Bleeding, a fan clutch, bleeding, ensuring the radiator cap was tight, and more bleeding solved it.


I then drove from Vancouver to Edmonton on a 20 year anniversary road trip for my 318is, only to find I was having electrical issues when I arrived :(

With a DVM, patience, and some time spent reading the postings here, I found;

Notice the one brush on the Voltage Regulator is no longer shiny from not even making contact any more.

Big Thank You to everyone here. You guys are great!


Special thanks to DesktopDave. Without your posts, I would still be stranded in Alberta!


looking forward to getting to know my car, and you guys better

Excellent.  I love it (of course, I approved your post).  Great pic too.

That's the kind of thing that makes me go brag to my family.

No prob.  Glad to help!

My family was impressed that the car is back up and running for a mere $15 part.

Thanks again
