L6 new owner questions
Hello
I'm in process of restoring a 1987 BMW L6. I was given the car in September 2018. It had sat inside a garage for ten years and another ten years outside beneath a pine tree. Below is an early picture and a current picture. Initially this car did not run and when it would run, it would not shift out of first gear. Now it runs great. However there are a few things which I need help on.
o One of the fuel pumps has a noticeable whine inside the passenger compartment. Is there anything which can be done about this?
o One of the fog lights was broken and now that I have found a replacement, I notice that I am not getting power to the fog lights. I have checked the fuses and they appear ok. Sadly, I don't know if a relay is involved. I am using the manual for a 635CSI which I found online. If anyone knows of a better manual I would appreciate it.
o The speedometer and most of the instrument cluster works with the exception of the odometer and trip meter. The LED bar graph does not work either. Any idea how to fix these?
o The power seats work, the front windows work, but the rear ones do not. Since the rear windows do not leak perhaps I should leave them alone. However if it is fixable I would appreciate any tips regarding them.
