Ah, yes, I've made that run. Sorry, I thought you were coming from San Mateo. Interesting, I picked up a parts car from Tracy a few months ago.

Yup I saw that you did and you got it 15 minutes before I called to get it myself.

Guys... guys... if anyone had a parts car with a rear windshield washer nozzle, please consider selling the hose that goes to the rear to me and nozzles, I really need those things fairly soon, sometimes its dangerous to drive that thing :-P

[BlackBMWs]

Hi Artem! I have a parts car, but used the hoses and heaters on my Wife's TI. I'll look at the old hood to see what's still intact.

Rich, do you have a pair of hood struts?

[BlackBMWs]

I did, but I used them on my 95

Thanks Rich! I'd really appreciate it. Let me know if even some of the hose is still intact, I just need a piece of it about 3-4 feet long going to the tank, I might be able to splice the two pieces I got.

We were removing the 4-cyl vacuum routing diagram off the shock tower and clipped it a few times.

The nozzles are more or less completely clogged and the driver's side was really crappy, the whole system needs a pretty good overhaul!

I sent a PM to both but haven't heard back. I don't think S52Commander visits the forum too often. Leaving a note on their windshield seems to work best, I'll be sure to do that again next time I randomly spot it in a parking lot

Artem: a note, I've used nozzles from other E36s in the past. It doesn't have to be from a Compact.

Any of you guys good with the electrical on our cars? I have a little gremlin i need to find.

My reading and sun visor lights are inop. I've changed all my interior lights to LED an i know the reading lights are reversed polarity so i did that little mod to change the polarity but still no luck. Changed all the bulbs back to halogen and plugged in my spare center light an still no reading lights. No fuses blown, not sure if there are any other relays or modules in that system that may be bad.

Anyways, should we make a list of who is bringing what? And who is our designated picture taker? We need to get a group pic for next years calendar.

Lastly, this will be my last meet here. I'm moving to the east coast in December for a new job.

[Artem]

Thanks Rich! I'll keep that in mind. Do let me know about that hose (and any other parts) though.

Adam: Great idea about the list of who brings what! I have an older DSLR camera we can use with a pretty good lens. As far as the lights are concerned, I'd take a multimeter to the contacts and see what's going on. The fuse is the most likely culprit if they dont work in any mode (door open, always on, etc)
