dont know about the leak but the gear thing could be syncros. i read about it on here before. happens to me (common with 33s apparently) i get it when i shift down to quickly fron 5th to 4th.

when my car is cold that sometimes happens to me when i shift from 1st to seccond. Pretty annoying.

There is a tutorial on how to fix your tail light leak here...

Pretty easy to follow... I've done it myself :P

It happens from 4th to fifth at higher speeds. (over 80Kmph). If I hit the clutch and let the revs drop a bit, it doesnt do it. Thanks for the light tip. I pikd tha car up last week, and found the boot with a puddle when i removed the mat.

yeah if you dont shift really quick and let the syncros match up with a more easier shift, then the shift should be quiet and clean, thats what i do from 5th to 4th anyway and theres no crunch. it doesnt bother me too much but im sure someone knows or can point you in the right direction of fixing it.

also make sure you got all that water out. dont want rust building and even mold :D

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
