Good to hear that you are running again.
The strange sound in my 840 is gone.
It was a bit of the sound isolation plate laying against the drive shaft.
It took quite long time to locate it, and expensive to. -

Reverse light/numberplate problem 840
You were right, and it's fixed
-
My left reverselight dosen't work. And when i put the care in reverse the left numbperplate light turnes of, and i also so got the message on the obc that the numberplate light has a fail. When i put the car in park/drive the numberplate lights up again (1993 BMW 840)
I have tried to change the bulb on the reverselight, and the fuses (number 12 and 17) looks okay.Suggestions ?

rust protector
Unfortunately we don't have waxoil in Norway. If you have other suggestions for
rust protection maybe some of they is available in Norway.
Would you prefer oil or tectyl products inside doors bonnet trunkdoor etc ? -
Rusty door
This is how i try to prevent rust. I park the car in a hill and spray a lot of wd40 or simular to flush the bottom of the door. And to be honest i also never use a lot of water on the windows when washing, to avoid water to find the way to the bottom of the door. It may seems crasy but if things always is dry and lubricated it want rust.

Thanks guys , after charging the batteries for some hours the car started and the error message was gone. The prrrrrrrrrrrr sound is stil there the first km i drive when i put the car in neutral it,s still there and it increases with the roling speed not the idle speed. The sound comes in right turns but dissapears in left turns. Hope it's not the tranny but a wheelbearing.

How do I Unplug the transmission ECU connector.

When i tried to start the car today I got the message "Getribenotprogram"
which means that there is a malefunction in the electronics in the transmission. Some days ago i had the car on jack stands and i was spinning the left back wheel around to try to locate a prrrrrrrrrrrr sound that i thought could be a bad wheel bearing. Could this cause the error.
I think the batteries is a bit low on voltage too.
Can i fix this at home ? any suggestions ? -
After removing 2 m of the fence for building a new gate, i had the 840 in my garden for the first time since i bought it in 2004. Felt good.

Took a day off from work and I spend it with my 840.
waxing the car give me such a good feeling, and a lot of times
i took some steps away from the car just admiring the lines.
Had the car for EU control (MOT TEST) , and the guys just laughed
when they could read the partnumber on the orginal shocks.
The car is superclean. -
Thanks , I, will do the screwdriver hot tonight.

My windshield have a lot of small scratches, but i dont want to replace it yet. Anyone that can recomend a way to fix it. I have tried turtle glasspolish but it doesent seem to do anything more than cleaning.
