OK cheers guys I'll have a good look and see what's what maybe take few pics to try and get a better idea from your good selves. (Glad to see some old names still keeping it real).

Yes should have said really, its a 885 head and a 525e bottom end. They're surplus to me now as my cab went to Africa a Couple of years ago for a damn fine price I might add. I'm sure its all usable stuff just not to me anymore. The problem for me is I just can't face dumping it knowing it could hav...

Hi guys, just thought I would pick your brains if you don't mind, especially as I haven't been on here for a few years so its a bit of a cheek really..... Anyway, I was having a sort out in my shed this morning and came across a head and block that I bought several years ago so that I could have a 2...

Sorry, couldn't leave it there, just realised my post count is 666

Hi all, Happy new year, I've been away from the zone and any E30 thoughts for a year now even though I still have my cabby. I've just visited EBay for E30 values and was shocked to see so few up for grabs. Is it a sign that they are getting ever rarer as they seem to be priced a bit dearer than I re...

These were £12 each at BMW recently.

Get rid!

This is bizarre. Surely a vehicle thats SORN'd and parked on the drive ( where the insurer knows its parked anyway ) represents less of a risk than one thats taxed and in daily use ? Mine is on SORN at present and locked in the garage ( where the insurers know it is parked overnight ) - I havent to...

The name is the same backwards or forwards! I'm sure you'll all get that.......

Do these scummers even earn commision on cancellation fee's these days then? Can be my only assumption on this one, he must have been out to get something since you weren't renewing. Surely something like this would be listed in your policy T&Cs? I did say to him where does it say that in my policy...

Phoned my insurance company this afternoon to tell them to let my E30 policy lapse in 3 weeks time. The nice chap asked me why, so I informed him I will be selling it due to lack of use. His next question was, 'is the vehicle sorned at the moment', to which I replied yes, since last month. The nice ...

So its gone up to 1300 quid on the strentgh of an 'incident' 3 years ago, I dread to think how much it will go up in the future because of the recent damage, even though the no claims is protected it still seems to escalate!

We have 999 pages of E30 chat.....Man thats a lot of chat!

Royal blue + tan = stunning

Martin Daly........any relation to Arfa???

WOW

I've had a new mohair hood under my bed now for a couple of years with a plan to fit it myself!

I think my balls need to develop a bit more though..having said that its a nice day today and theres nothing to do.....oh yea, the old girl needs a wash! (Car not wife)

That buzzing you hear.... if you let it continue it WILL fry all locking motors. Trust me on that one!
When you change the module make sure you fit it in the well correctly otherwise you will be back to square one, again, trust me!

Brian the one I have just fitted is slightly different in that you cannot take it apart, unlike the old one where you can take the board out and inspect. Although its working fine does that seem right to you?

New (second hand) module arrived today, everything fitted and working. I guess I must just be unlucky this being the second time now, first one was waterlogged but the second one must have just, well, packed up i guess.

I'm currently waiting for a replacement module on mine as i've done all the checks/mods etc. Hopefully will cure mine when it arrives.

This has got to be the wierdest thread i've seen. Mr Moore posts a thread differing from his usual 'getting people out of trouble' on the technical forum, daring to venture into the good old 'E30 chat' arena for a light hearted awareness thread, and he gets thrown to the wolves by certain individual...

Sorry to say that is an absolute pile of turd!

Thanks again willnz I will try tomorrow.

Thanks willnz, I had almost given up. so if I rig a bulb or something to the green/blue and try to unlock I should see the bulb briefly light up, if it does It will be the module at fault is that right?

Thanks daimlerman, I've already worked my way through the wiki and done all the bits, I've narrowed it down to just the unlocking part not working so need to test for power to that side of it, just don't know which wires at the module.

Can anyone advise me which wires I need to test for the unlocking action of the Unit as i can lock but not unlock,

thanks.

Forgot to mention that even the passenger door operates when i touch the relays manually, it was previously deadlocked,

thanks.

My central locking was working fine on Saturday, but when I went to unlock it from the remote last night it would only disarm the alarm but not unlock the car. I then unlocked the drivers door with the key, but that didn't operate the c/locking as it usually does. The boot unlocked with the key but ...

I think the name 'Moody' says it all really,

Moody...slang; FAKE!

Cat C?

My daughters car was cat c parked outside her house, taxed and insured. She got a notice to say move it or it would be towed within 24 hours. While she was out it was towed, straight to the crusher.
She fought for justice but lost, the council said it was a hazard to pedestrians!
