I just need to know from whom the dealer buys them. Then a friend of mine will orlder them from the manufatorer instead buying them through the dealer and payimg them the huge amount of money.

Can you tell me what is the brand of the hoses at the dealer or who manufactors them?

There are so many cameras that I need the V1 to tell me when to expect one.

How to harwire a V1 in e31? I heard someone did it through the motor in the sunroof. Anyone able to help me?
-
The wheels are ok, but they just dont fit the e31. If you invested in wheels you should have gone for some 3piece oz or hartge wheels.

They are hydaulic hoses with metal pipe-fittings at each end. This is why you either have to buy the whole part from a BMW dealer (parts dept) or have it made-up by a hydrauclics specialist. The parts are NOT just hoses with clips.
Would you suggest me to get them also.

My leek was from No14. A real biatch to R&R. No's 23 leek as well (you will see oil on the chassis leg underneath the reservoir...
Some cars do not have No10 in which case there is just a feed and return which runs under the engine but on top of the subframe!! (RHD cars) and some have an oil cooler as well!!Tell me one thing. Are 1 and 14 also a hose?

Well, the diagram above shows all the main hydraulic hoses.
For these you have two choices:
1.) go to a dealer and order the set.
2.) go to a hydraulic hose manufacturer and bring them the old hoses to copy.(1) is quicker, but (2) is cheaper.
example: http://www.phoenixhydraulics.co.uk/pdfs/UK_Rubber_Hose.pdf
Then, you may want to take a look at the last time (if ever) that your water (coolant) hoses were last changed. For these a BMW dealer is really the only option.
Most importantly, you may also wish to check your brake hoses. Gerry, 8Tech, can provide some good replacements here.
So, with the fuel, hoses that you are already doing, that should be everytrhing.
I have allready replaced the brake hoses with metal ones

The car is here to stay. Tell me what i should buy and the battle continues!!!

First, better to see where the leak comes from. Then, decide what to do. As mentioned, you may have an oil cooler under the plastic cover in front of the radiator. The hoses to this have clamps which loosen and cause leaks. Other hoses may need tightening or replacment. If your car is 1992, I would consider replacing all hoses. The fittings will be quite corroded by now and the rubber deteriorates with time and heat. It is also possible to have them remade made by independant hydraulic suppliers, as long as you give them the originals.
My car is a 1991. Why if its a 1992?
-
So you mean I should put new clamps on?
-
HOw much for the mirrors? I am thinking of getting them.
-
Those are sweet. How much?

I have a problem because my steeringwheel fluid leaks. Any suggestions what could be wrong. What is it that goes wrong in those systems?
