Re: Purchase of B10 3.3 Touring - No. 004
Found a complete tailgate on eBay at Charles Trent in Poole, which is apparently rot free. That’s one major piece sorted for “004” bodywork - £90 + carriage. I’ll ring them on Monday and see if there’s a front N/S wing off same car to save on carriage . Sills and wheelarch repairs on eBay so hopeful...

Re: What did you do in your ALPINA today?
Wished I’d sorted myself out for that - not far away and liked to have gone

Re: B10 Touring failing to proceed
Well I think it’s something I’m going to have to live with and bear it in mind between fills.
Potentially not a 10 minute fix I guess.
Unless it packs in altogether and I have no gauge reading, I’ll leave it and see what develops.

ATF top up
Just checking that there’s no special ATF needed in the power steering reservoir on by 2001 B10.
My level has gone down (I know why - weeping pipe which I’ll refix at weekend.

Re: B10 Touring failing to proceed
Yes similar.
Certainly find the gauge doesn’t move much at start if over half a tank but does fall quickly after.
I’ll keep an eye on things and keep some notes.

Re: B10 Touring failing to proceed
Yes just the OBC display on the cluster.
So I guess not 100% accurate but certainly an indicative.

Re: B10 Touring failing to proceed
The “distance” in tank display tends to fall rapidly when starting off but then picks up so end up with apparently more miles in tank than you started off with. Obviously once it’s warmed up and sussed your driving style, the mpg will increase. Assume what’s physically in the tank dictates if you ru...

Re: B10 Touring failing to proceed

Started ok and headed out but started been unresponsive to acceleration - got death stare from wife who was with me.

Re: Purchase of B10 3.3 Touring - No. 004
Yea thought there’s nothing too much to worry about Alpina wise on the body parts.
Not sure if it had a bottom of tailgate bolt on piece - see pic as with #047 - whether that was an LCI upgrade.

Re: Purchase of B10 3.3 Touring - No. 004
Main aim is to replace damaged fuel line(s) so I can get it running and move about under its own steam. I can’t / won’t do bodywork so it’ll be hopefully sorted by someone who knows what they are doing. Shopping list for bodywork is; a pair of sills, rear arch repair panels, s/h tailgate and s/h nsf...

Trans failsafe Prog
The B10 came up with Trans Failsafe Prog so limped home, this could be expensive :( by “BarryM” on the “What did you do to your Alpina today”. Mine came up with this message a few days ago. Basically I was running late, jumped in the B10, started it and selected reverse all very quickly. Up came th...
