E30 Zone

Long time since I used Cotswold, thanks Stefan and Carl!

Hi guys, can you give me a quote for my car LE92105, for the following parts please? If you can let me know individual prices to paul.ivatts@btinternet.com I'd be very grateful. 34341163565 clip 6 off 34321163759 hose 2 off 34326755596 pipe 2 off 34301163685 bracket 1 off 34301163686 bracket 1 off 2...

I wouldn't rest either.

Nasty bastards, enemy of us all, never ever buy stolen goods.

Gutted for you. Will keep an eye out.

You need to be more precise on the unit. Post up a pic of the front. Dont try any more times until you know the exact process, you might get fully locked out.

Its an easy job to do. I have the parts you need, no need to fabricate anything.

Demand and scarcity is pushing up the prices. Its not unique to E30s, it happens to everything that people desire. In fact, I think on age, the E30 has been a slow mover. If you want cheap and plentiful, the E46 is there ready for you.

Don't pay too much for it, cars left abandoned are usually that for a very good reason. Tinker around with it, see if you like them, and progress from there..

Never had a wrapped hardtop or seen one. My only thought on it is that the wrap needs a clean smooth surface the adhere properly to the panel, so for a hardtop to be wrapped, a BMW oem one, there would need to be a fair bit of prep?

He refused £11,000.00?? The seller has some balls!

Lotus white when new was fabulous. I remember a Calypso Red car in the showroom at Orfords of Ruislip when new with that interior, delicious!. Keeping that leather looking like good, and using the car was a massive challenge, those pics above still look quite good for a 20 year old interior in my op...

Sending overseas is for mugs Mick. Avoid it and don't get drawn in. Adjust your settings to exclude postal locations you can't be arsed to deal with. i.e If it ain't got a UK postcode, it ain't being sent! Amen to that. I get it all the time. "Will u send to xxxxxxx" I certainly will. Outside of Eb...

Some delicious pics! Last pics of door cards, horshoe and CARPET I have for sale. http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/pp6/Z3I/90.jpg http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/pp6/Z3I/06.jpg http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/pp6/Z3I/2678801-7.jpg http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/pp6/Z3I/DSCF3203.jpg http:...

When businesses are selling old parts. its a gamble on both sides. Seller often cannot supply goods as new, buyer cannot expect goods as new. If you sell you do what you can with what you have. Most times, thats ok, but sometimes it isn't. If things go wrong, on the sellers part this is a new opport...

This car is like a Corvette, which takes restoration to the highest level you can imagine. Only the correct paint and correct application, with the correct amount overspray is considered. Brake servos must have only the slightest coverage of black paint, no undercoat etc, with rust present and corre...

I don't know the Denver, but the switched power outlet is usually for the power aerial. Have a search on the internet for the correct power arrangement, you don't want any smoke!

Cream leather seats and 160k are not the best combination. They don't look too bad in the photos, but in the flesh it wwill be a challenge to the eye.

Consider swapping over the cushions and bolsters too, if you have a doner seat with the correct lever arrangement and back cover with the correct holes in the correct place. Swapping the cushions and bolsters is not difficult. Note also, saloon/coupe sports seats have a slightlydifferent lever arran...

So, for all the worry of you supplying far too many details in the first place, (all of which could be used as a scam further down the line by a disgruntled ex worker), the parts being after market chinese spec/fake/substitute anyway, a traumatic returns system where you'll be chasing it, whats the ...

When you are on the station you want, you press the preset button you want to store it on, it will then change to the previous preset, but around 5 secs later revert to the station you want to set, and its done.

iirc

Made exactly the same, and as they are the last E30 convertibles made, have all the upgrades to make them less rusty, in theory. Just shows how rotten they all are really, but in comparrison to many other cars of the period, they hardly rust at all.

Time to bump those ads Peter!

Seats are a large volume, so will work out very expensive. DHL almost works out best for me, their tracking service is the best, and fast. (UK to LA less than 48hrs) May be worth talking to buyer and see if he needs just the seat covers. You'll need to charge for the whole seat and a bit more for di...

brutus is a very helpful guy, went to some lengths to make sure what I was buying was correct. Will happily deal again.

Smoke is definitely not a good sign!

I'm going to test a few units I have over the next week or so for selling on Ebay, I'll let you know what comes up if you like Jim

Did the radio survive Jim?

I know it won't help you cheffy, but you have to remember everything broken from an E30 is now 25 plus years old, and will have 25 years of weather, wear and tear on it. Buying second hand parts from cars that are being broken is always on a best intentions basis, expect to do some work or restorati...

That alternator looks nice and shiny! Where did you get it from, and how much? Euros.. haggled them down to £200.. with a £84 refund when you give them back you're old busted one :) I checked Euro earlier, they were £206 with the old unit, but their photo didn't show a Bosch although it says Bosch ...

If you are buying after market ones, the connectors to the original loom might be different, so you'll have to change them. The after market ones need to be a similar shape, its essential that when you install the elements, that they are nice and flat, no kinks or doubling over the elements. This is...

If you have a parcel shelf with unsightly modern speakers, these are the items you'll want to cover them..
