O.k. Just wanted to thank everyone that have posted all the helpful information on this site. Now for the update, In tracking down the Vacuum leak that was preventing the car from shutting down and the doors from not locking. We have track down the source, It is one of those Pink Diagram under the dash, behind the glove box. IT has a little arm that open and closes a door. After, Plugging the Green line leading into the car thur the firewall, we tested the doors and shutting off the car, as sure enough, everything was working fine. After, testing we were able to track it down to this pink thingy. Now the big Question! after reading some information via this site, I understand that we may have to remove the dash to replace this pink thing. I also understand there was a posting that went into detail on the removal of the dash. Any clue where I can find this posting? Any leads in this direction would be greatly appricated, as it we be next weekend project. Also, any Idea on to remove it vacuum thing. It seems to want to twist, I have undone the rod, but it dosen't want to untwist. thank again, this place has been so helpful in our hands on learning about the 240D.
