@@flippingcarsrepairs anytime, I do have a question I have a problem with my daylight running light cones on for two seconds then goes off, it's bmw adaptive led lights on f20, Ny idea what this could be? The passenger side works fine and both night time lights work fine but just daylight on drivers side I have this problem.
@@joshhickson964 that's weird have you looked at the connectors to the light or the wiring may have a bad earth or broken wire. Worse case scenario the led module could be packed up on that side 🤔
A mate who is a mechanic replaced the driveshaft for me as 4 bolts worked their way loose and fell out, then the last 2 give way and snapped out, I replaced the handbrake cable last night, it was a bitch to get the old one out, but I got there in the end, thanks to your fantastic vid, thanks again 👍
@@ashleythornhill4454 bloody hell how did they even come loose, yup handbrake is a right pain in the arse. Glad it help and you got it sorted, thanks again 🙏
@@flippingcarsrepairs hey I did figure it out from your video. There was one section I could see what I needed to do and it was really helpful. Thank you.
Great vid, I'm not mechanical myself but vids like these give sooo much info and understanding! PS are those bimmer wheels? they remind me of Audi ones I'm thinking A4 or A5...They look great! :D
Thank you it means alot, theses will are original 325 alloys I beleave but as they are 19s they look so much nicer, but I no what you mean they do look like audi 😀
im 3 years old late but what is the dimention of the stuff, I think I have 185mm on the shoes and the inner diameter of the rotor... but my handbrake is weak.
@@flippingcarsrepairs tomorrow I will simply be replacing the handbrake mechanism - will I only need to remove the center console for this? Do I need to lock the spring when switching them over? Thanks man
@@flippingcarsrepairs I have already subscribed even though my English is not very good, I understand from the videos, I am glad that I was able to solve the problem with the handbrake because I had not seen any video as you explained, in order to go to a Service I had to put hand deep in pocket😊
I was repairing a 2009 5 series. There is no reason to remove centre console. Brake lever sleeve can be removed with a small pick and rear vent pops off from the bottom revealing cables. I wasn’t sure how to release self adjuster. . Thanks anyway.
I completed this job for both cables on an E60. I tied bailing twine to the old cable inside the car, pulled the old cable out, tied the twine to the new cable and then pulled it into the car; result! I didn't have to remove the exhaust or heat shields or require the hands of a Capuchin monkey 🙊 😂

Video was spot on, I found this alot easier by taking the exhaust off upto the manifold, was alot more room to work around with the handbrake cable
Thanks so much for Watching glad it helped you and you sorted it it was quite hard with the exhaust on but quite tricky and annoying 👍👍👍

@@flippingcarsrepairs yeah all electrics etc seem fine, checked all fuses too so I reckon module it will be then lol
Thanks for the vid, my driveshaft snapped and ripped the handbrake cable with it, this will make it much easier to replace 👍
Thanks for Watching appreciate it. No way that's not good news I hope this video helps you then 👍👍👍

@@flippingcarsrepairs np man just keep doing what you're doing!
Is this also the same steps for the e60??
Hi yes it should be similar I don't nonwhy not 👍
im 3 years old late but what is the dimention of the stuff, I think I have 185mm on the shoes and the inner diameter of the rotor... but my handbrake is weak.
Sorry don't have the car no more so I can't check
Very good tutorial, do you use a tool case?
Hi no I have a big tool box put mainly use one socket set
Thé most important part is getting the centre console out.
Thanks for Watching 👍
How did you get the cable back through the fixing
Thanks for Watching its was great fun but there's a tube we're it slides up once you locate that you should be OK 👍👍👍
So helpful - Thank you
Glad it did thanks for Watching i realy appreciate it 👍

I'm not fond of jobs like this and may need to fit a handbrake cable to an E60 soon. It would help if we had the hands of a Capuchin Monkey 🙈
🤣🤣🤣Totaly agree that would help us thanks for watching
