The fan clutches cost about $70 from memory, look it and any otherparts you need up on www.bmaparts.com. I find it best to do the water pump, thermostat and coolant, hoses etc. whilst you are at it and not be worrying another wear item that could fail. The parts are cheap, its not worth messing around wiht one if your time is precious in the long run.

Welcome to the board. Post some pics of your vehicle!

Some years ago I spent a lot of time in Wales. It's my favorite country abroad. The nicest people I've ever met. I had a blast there. The Welsh know how to party! I spent 6 months in the UK before geeting to Wales. I never expected such a difference in the people. You guys put the Brits to shame. I used to go every week to the Abercynon R.F.C. games. We used to party with the team afterwards. Ymlaen!

Howdy WBM! The 518i has always intrigued me. How does she go? We didn't get them in OZ so I've never driven one. As stated some pics would be nice. Can you post a pic of the engine bay please. Welcome aboard and good to see another member who drives from the 'right' side of the vehicle
