	Hi all, Mercedes 16 x 7.5 forged alloy wheels, offset is et46. One of the tires is recent with around 7mm tread, one has around 4mm, and the other two need changing (all hold air perfectly). These are very strong and light weight, only weigh around 6.5kg's per rim so perfect for trackdays. Looking for £150 ono, located in Buckinghamshire.

	Well it's been a while, so lets get back into it. So the brake calipers came back from big red, new seals, pistons, and coated red to match. And fitted to the front with e36 m3 discs. Standard e36 compact disc setup on the rear. I have also mounted the hydraulic brake assist setup from the 540, this does away with the old vacumm servo to free up space. I've got this valve in the rear brake line to keep the bias more to the front brakes.

It looks to be OK but whether it is Bosch or not I don't know, but I'll have a proper look tomorrow. Went out in it again this evening and it is fine now-think it was damp from sitting around for months. I'll post some photo's tomorrow once I have given it a good wash and wax, and have cleaned the wheels. I'll also ring Waterhouse in Braintree to see if they can tell me what fan is fitted from me giving them the VIN. No worries, anything you need to know about these just ask. Take a look at the 3 square air con buttons, if it has aftermarket aircon the cutout in the wood trim for these buttons will look different to the switches above. You can see where the wood was cut on the aftermarket cars, vs a nice rounded off edge on the factory setup.

	Glad you bought it, now we need pics! There are 4, yes 4! differing types of fan. Also depending on if your car has factory or aftermarket fitted air con, the fans are removed in different ways. Behind that rubber bung is an allen bolt for releasing the door lock barrel. Loosen this bolt, then try to turn the key whilst pulling it backwards. One bit of advice I will give you, start saving for a new Bosch distributor cap and rotor arm. Your engine (the m103) eats these for fun, and the aftermarket stuff lasts for a few days at most.
