What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[ClimRox]

I was planning on doing the G.A.S. rebuilt kit tonight, but when i went to pull out the DISA it disintegrated. Upon further inspection, it appears that the PO siliconed the DISA to the intake and used super glue to support a cracked/broken flapper support. I suppose a DISA gold is now in my future...

Wow that sucks. Was the pin still there ?

That does suck - the things some people do. If you already have the GAS DISA rebuild kit, why not find yourself another DISA valve and rebuild that, rather than pay the big bucks for the DISA gold?

Wow. Glad you got it all out (I see the pin in the pic). Gold may be you quickest option.

Thanks fellas. Yep, I got the pin out (fell out as I removed the flapper housing). I've been looking at used units, and new ones from some of the OEM retailers. I don't really want to pay the Gold premium, but this is my DD. Thinking it may indeed be the quickest option.

There was a thread here recently where someone asked if anyone was selling used units. More then 1 person iirc had a used disa for sale.

Just got home with my '03 330Ci. Sent it to the doctor for some spring cleaning/maint. Hmmm, this week:

- New MTech Bumper cover
- New headlight lenses and corners
- New xenon ignitor
- Replacement undertray/reinforcement plate
- UUC DSSR
- Rear pads and rotors
- Oil change
- New sunroof cassette (my 6yo daughter will be happy, she missed the open sunroof)
- New Michelin Pilot Super Sport (255/35-18)

Next on the agenda will be a full detail when it gets slightly warmer and a new windshield. Sorry about changing over from the snow tires so soon, it is my fault for the snow today.

Obligatory pics:

Pictures don't do it justice. One clean vee hick'ol.
