Hi Len, I'll have that PN for you this afternoon. I put one in mine and I'm just waiting for a call back from the fellow who did mine.

: : : : Paul, I mailed you a request regarding the seat cable fix. Haven't heard back from you so just posting this as a heads-up. Also, everyone, if you have a gasoling smell coming from your engine compartment (bonnet) don't automatically assume it is an intake manifold gasket leak or fuel system problem. Found mine was coming from the charcoal cannister that had rusted through due to a leaking washer fluid bottle (just had both reservoirs replaced a year and a half ago--shouldn't the plastic be made heat-resistant since it seems to be the heat that causes the plastic to deteriorate?).

: : : : Jim S.

: : : Those bottles can fail. Happened to me last year.

: Just got my car back from BMW. They went over the car and are going to be doing more work in the future. I need two complete headlight assemblies, a new horn, new CV boot, new OBC (the dealership can’t locate a part number for the display only, just the OBC. If anybody knows the P/N for the OBC display only, it would be GREATLY appreciated!), the glove box has to be slammed multiple times for it to finally close, etc.

: However, the reason I am posting this is to let you know that one of the things that they had in stock and was able to do during the time they had the car was replace the washer bottles. On my new bottles there is a metal heat shield on the left side of the left bottle. I did not notice it there on the original one. Maybe this is something that everyone out there can add without replacing the whole bottle(s).
