No, there is nothing under the car, especially not anything like that.

There is no such thing - it's an integral part of the
flywheel and is not available on it's own. Have you looked under the car yet, turned the engine over and actually looked for it? It's a very obvious square lug. |

Can someone give me a part No for this bit of metal for the flywheel, my car is an auto... is there 1 or 2 of them on the flywheel (1 for each sensor)? |

That doesn't require 12v or a relay.

seriously, it could be your top dead sensor as drew drop says, it needs to be checked if its fallen off. this alone would be a non starter alone.

If it's an automatic, it's nothing like a ballbearing -
rather an odd shaped bit of steel. What about the DME relay Rob? REckon it could be that you know.

I bought the ball bearing that attatches to the flywheel today.... its about 4 mm in diameter, and supposedly turns on the flywheel and sends info to the ECU via the 2 flywheel sensors. I cant imagine it is this causing my non-start problems, but I also cant inagine how it attatches to the flywheel... as it is so small and fiddly. Has anyone else had to replace this piece... or indeed know what im talking about as It seems such an unlikely cause, and strange piece to be fitted on to a flywheel. It looks like a small chrome ball bearing (well it is one).... Its like something that came out of a kids game, rather than something that fits on a car. |

Problem is i'm still not near. Ivor is helping me out with an auto-electrician, but ive been so busy with work recently, the car has to take second place. I hope I can still sort it fairly soon, its been 10 weeks now..... Still aquiring knowledge, and I can identify every box on the car now, so if you dont know what something is.... ask me, and ill probably be able to tell you, unles its not on my car. But to be honest im kind of upset with the whole thing, as its been expensive and time consuming... and it still doesnt work. But YES I will get round to it when I can. |

I was kinda hoping you'd got it started now Ben!
When you've got this sorted you are going to be the man for any E24's that fail to start! Good luck, admire your persistence mate! Edited by UKDaveJ |

Phone your BM dealer and ask for someone who knows e24's. Your p/no confirms you have the slightly older model. |

I thought any car with Fuel Injection would have an impact cut off - the whole point being that if the fuel rail (high pressure) ruptures in an accident it is cut off before anything nasty can happen. On another note, I've got a gearbox and flywheel (Getrag 280) I can have a look for the 'lug' if you want and post pics - just let me know. |

Yes I have that! Its above the glove box, with a cover over it, mounted very close to the cruise control box. Its about the size of a mobile phone, and it is skrewed to a bit of moulding to conceal the wiring there. It has the part NO: 61311373323 on my car. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=5382&mospi d=47199&btnr=41_0595&hg=41&fg=50&hl=27 can anyone tell me about it, thew bonnet did slam in between it starting and non-starting, can this box cause the car not to start? Is there a reset procedure, and if so what is it? Edited by phb10186 |
