Why buy a rebuilt rack ? They are not good..better buy a second hand one..better

i totally agree. i had A LOT of bad experience with recond parts. my steering rack has a small leak, and its a recond (bought by previous owner). do you know where i can find used steering rack pussy?

Guys, I am looking for auxiliary fan, E30 M40. Do let me know where to source for it, or if there are any easier/cheaper alternatives apart from finding the original ones.

Thanks!

Your mechanic should be able to get an auxiliary fan. Mine was replaced once with a Panasonic branded one I think.

BMW E30 M40 318i.
Gear cluster which calculates the mileage does not function, found out that it has been into bits. Mine is a Motometer.

I'm trying to get a replacement gear to fit into it. However, I'm not sure as to which set of gears to get for the part.
Saw this part online but not sure which set of Motometer gears to get, apparently the number of 'teeth' varies.

It would be great if I could get some assistance with this.

Thanks.
