Well it's going to be a busy few weeks lads! Pre-trip to the engineer i thought i'd look into the wheel noise in the E36 Had a feeling it could be the dust shield, adjusted this clearance but still sounds horrible. Might be time to swap that bearing out. E36 made the trip to the engineer with...

Trip to VRoads with the E36 went relatively well but mission was a bust Turns out the Engineer needs to request the new engine no. so we'll see about that in 2 weeks. Still chasing a rear left wheel noise, can't work out if it's the bearing or disc rubbing the pads. I have a feeling i'll end up...

Wow it's been a busy 2 months of small but significant fixes E36 Progress update! :cool: From a few small test drives i noticed a rubbing sound when cornering. Fairly certain it wasn't tyres rubbing but something else. Seems my absolutely overkill driveshafts are rubbing on the control arms...

I’m interested in this too Since you already have one any chance you can tell me the diameter of the shaft that the pulley sits on? Dimensions of the motor? I’m wondering if a 1/2” router motor might be another option?
