the annoying thing is my clutch has started making a whirring/grinding noise now on start up/when cold. Bastard car knows when I have money I swear...

Its not slipping or anything yet so I'm not too worried. Dad reckons it could be the throwout? bearing. I don't know enough about clutches to comment. It makes the noise when the clutch is in so I'm assuming its not disengaging properly. The noise can be heard faintly in neutral when the clutch is out but normally goes away when the clutch is in. Now on start up the noise just gets louder.

Any ideas?

haha excuse thats a good one. Clutch will stay in the car until it absolutely, positively needs to be changed. Unless its free reving in 1st gear then its good enough lol.

@Colin: sounds like throwout bearing to me.

Wheres my invite bitch :)

Cool. Just trying to find out what it does.

oh and yeah wheres my invite John?

Google the Master of All Mortal Knowledge has provided a sufficient description of what a throwout bearing does. Sounds like that's my problem.

^^^ haha nice one mike.

may aswell do ya clutch colin, if ur doing the bearing. i hear the only way of buying a throwout bearing is with a nice new 5puk :)

ps: lick my dragon :(

An excuse to change the clutch!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully that will stay at the bottom of my mod list although there's only suspension left.

^^^ haha nice one mike.

haha your such a liar. You can get throwout bearings in twin and triple kits as well.

new bearing costs about 10 bux :P but its a box out job so yeah might as well do the clutch while ur at it

Fairly sure I could get a throwout bearing for it, I'll have to find out :D . As I said I really don't want to change the clutch, its holding fine now and I wont be looking at a power increase for awhile. So I don't see the point in spending money on it when I don't need to.

colin isnt man enough to handle a triple plate

oooooo zing!

Just live with it then Colin. She'll be right.

    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
    • Man, I miss having a phone that fits into my hand!  
    • The speed this thing starts up is making me want to replace my old one. Though my old one immediately kicks into reverse camera as soon as reverse is engaged, it's clearly not part of the android system. For everything else though, starting up, connecting to hotspot, opening maps, starting music in spotify is easily a ~2 minute affair.
    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
