Ok attacked this broken nipple on the manifold, took me ages...
Tools/parts used: - zip ties, tied off cables out the way to remove manifold - 1/4 barb - 1/8 NBT nipple thread - dremel to grind away/cut at the nipples original housing - epoxy to seal the nipple on the manifold - 1/8-27 NBT tap - drill bit to bore the hole out ^ Broken vacuum nipple.. ^ removal of manifold begins moved throttle body to the side ^ dirty donk ^ #1 very dirty ^ #2 better picture but even dirtier ^ #3 better picture again, probably the worst being closest to throttle body/intake ^ #4 couldn't really get better pictures of others, but they weren't as bad ^ manifold off and full view ^ not the best looking but should do its job ^ epoxy applied and sealed on top of all this... my battery died... so going to connect the tender today and hope to get it all running.. cleaned most of my intake manifold still gotta give it a thorough wipe down, going to re-use gasket as i have obviously gotta have this booked in for a walnut blast once i am back from next swing. PS HKS BOV C clip is a real C**T! |

sorry to be that guy, but that bonnet gap is very disconcerting to look at and can be fixed in a matter of minutes with a torx/cross screwdriver. Also i think once you get the adjustment right, immediately improves how the car (bonnet flushed with the grilles) looks at literally no cost.
all you have to do is unscrew the plastic guard on the 2x hook latches and screw clockwise (deeper) but have enough clearance for the bonnet to shut properly, this can be done by trial and error. I suggest shutting the bonnet by dropping it from a certain height as a more even and less labour intensive method, also you don't risk denting the bonnet by applying too much pressure on it. |

So your car has power but the steering lock won't disengage?
Have a read here and let us know if its the same issue http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1195205 You might need to hook up the diagnostic tool to reset the steering lock.
