maybe she's realised that not only is it a perfect first car but it its also a perfect size for a shag wagon!!!
if she doesnt like it tell her to buy you one of whatever she drives !!!!!!

quite an easy fix! buy 2 new rubber o rings, push the tube down against the spring tension until you can move the top sideways and draw it away from the underside of the inlet manifold then pull it out and change the o rings, then lube them up with a smear of grease two aid refitting without pinchin...

my point wasn't harsh just seems rather more sensible to get it tested rather than keep changing parts in the hope of finding the problem and wasting money on stuff you probably dont need . i wouldnt call constant boiling up of the coolant a slight temperature related issue either if its doing that ...

sounds like a blown head gasket or a cracked head, had this on mine, changed absolutely everything and still no better, get it tested before it gets any worse

I have two automatics and they are fine to drive, does get a bit boring sometimes tho. I think that kind of sums it up for me.... fine, but not exciting. manuals are actually fun to drive especially a bit quick round the twisties. but autos are just fine, they waft along, you dont get leg ache and ...

f**k the steering wheel WHERES THE BLOODY TITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

spigott bearing for 1, not sure if any other.

just replaced the head gasket and all other associated parts due to finding mayo under oil filler cap and oily mayo mush in the expansion tank also that the water level kept going down but since doing the head gasket none has reocured, it didnt show any signs of overheating either! water level is st...

heater matrix could be clogged up. I had one like that it was bled o.k but now heater. try taking the pipes off any shuve a hose pipe in one and see if it comes out the other. if not poor some descaling acid in, let it soak and wash it out. i will try flushing it first, but if it doesnt work how do...

Hi. Have you tried this one.- Engine running Heater controls set to hot Header cap off Keep squeezing all water pipes watching for air bubbles Top up coolant as required When satisfied no air put header cap back on Release bleed valve on thermostat housing and check that no air and only coolant is ...

as above , cant seem to get the air out of the cooling system, top hose is still not staying full of water! ive bled it from the thermostat housing and tried bleeding with the front end jacked right up and ive even tried the 2ltr coke bottle trick, and even pulled off the return for the heater matri...

DAMN!!!! wot a bloody time to go

look well nice! defo going this route as soon as finances permit!

ive been told that pattern parts are made using the machines that the oem have outed due to having not been up to producing the required level, usually after its done its quoter of parts the tooling is worn and isnt within tolerances hence ill fitting wings and the like , but it doesnt always mean t...

what should you put on the form as it looks like its for reporting an incident?

my power steering seems to be intermittent at the moment but not consistent, keeps feeling heavy and some times when turning a corner i have to pull it back to get it correct itself and go straight, almost feels like no assistance whatsoever and if i dont catch it back it will stay on right lock, an...

mines royal blue

got any pics, and are they white?

maybe this may help abit , shell bearings, piston rings, gaskets, oil seals etc, would be a few things i would be looking for.

also any engineers bills for stuff like crank regrind, rebore etc.

1972 mk 1 escort with 1600gt engine, signal red , rostyle wheels and jacked up.

cant you ask your mate for a quote to do them, i found i couldnt get the car high enough when trying to do mine and had to use two trolley jacks as well,
some people on here say there easy to do and some say there a right pain, id go with the second opinion!

ive got poly bushes on my rear trailing arms and they were a bit of a pain in the arse to fit , took about six hours to do the near side with beam still on car but the other side has to be dropped to let the outer bolt clear the fuel filler pipe at the tank, had to give it to a garage then to do the...

im replacing my front fogs with with 55 watt driving lamps, does anyone know if i can just use existing wiring and do a straight swap? cheers

(re haynes manual) ive got one of them , complete pants, compare it to one for any other car they do manuals for and you'll see that theres not much specific in it!
doesnt even mention some things like rear beam bushes! seems they completely forgot most of the e30's common points of fault!

any one got a pic of the alloy ones as im not sure what mine are but i now they are defo not pressed steel type but they are black and look like they maybe cast iron?

cheers for the info, yes its the touring, will probably just find a better one from a scrappy as the lining started coming down in the back first but now its all the way upto the sunroof and just seems to be going even further

i think ill try and remove it at the weekend to see if it is salvageable but if not i will give the iron a go!
is it a ball ache to remove? if so anyone got any tips as ive never done this type before!

any one know what glue? can be used and works well too glue lining material back up without it soaking through the material?????

what about in a 325 auto touring brian, any good?

warning light for rear light failure randomly coming on when u depress brake peddle and when u get out and look there both on! If you turn off remove key then start again light goes out?!
