E30 Zone

Sent someone i know to get it added hopefully

I have a south africa sump guard that mounts on the chassis rail in the front arches, does anyone have any photos of how its fitted as it looks like there should be some welded studs for it?

looking good Steve,great work. glad to see our donations going to a great cause

im 20 mins from mk i can do that for you mate, worked on enough e30's just got one going after 12 years of hibernation .

ive done engine swaps,5 lug conversions,fault finding etc i have prof of work but your call bud

very nice dude

the new zone ? didn't realize there was going to be one

but yea would be awsome to see what the plan is

just swap the output flanges to e30 ones and it all should fit bud. its what im running on mine.

think it was £70 when i rang few months ago

i made a donation, not much but we cant let this place die off to much good knowledge on here.

mate life saver

yea I got mine for £37 about 5 months ago. the old glue took me hours as I ended taking the bonnet off and cleaning it with sticky stuff remover kind of stuff.

Hella/BEHR is what I have in my 318, got it from euros with the discount they do pretty much every weekend I got it for like £80

there are two types of front calipers ATE and Girling. these are slightly different so hence maybe why your thinking its rear caliper when your being show a different type.

disconnect the fan belt to stop the pump turning to see if the noise stops if not its something else . if so I would look at a fluid change.

white from ally is the oxidization

be careful that's it not your radiator cap gone as when the cap fails the there is a cut out where it screws on to drain away and where it drains makes it look like the rad has failed when it hasn't. when the cap fails the system isn't pressurized causing the coolant to boil out the cap making it ov...

there all the same, just buy the rear arms as the subframes are the same too.

I bought the whole lot and got it blasted and powder coated. fitted new wheel bearings etc still waiting to go in lol

bye bye e30 :/

i would do all but the question your asking means the same end as the selector shift but it wont hurt doing the input shaft(engine side) as well

is all about having the balls to do it mate i still of could messed it up, if you dont try you wont know if you can do it.

i did my starter about a month ago new solenoid, brushes and a lick of paint good as new.

why you fixed photobucket? mines fooked

the TPS should click as you just open the throttle. the car doesn't need to be on. if it doesn't click the car wont go into idle 'mode'.

cant go wrong with FAG also abs and non abs rear wheel bearings are different size. don't go cheap if you intend on keeping the car.

there different lengths check realoem as that will give you the lengths. autos are shorter and manuals are longer i think iirc

also dont be surprised if the injectors need a clean this day and age they will be needing a refresh (again i have had to get them serviced)

if it doesn't go above 5kish,taps like mad it might be the camshaft wear, its very common on these M40 engines. (i have changed several camshafts,rockers and tappets because of this wear) also check piping for the inlet etc as these perish with age (i have a m40 that i had to do that) also clean the...

impact gun should get it off

thin bit of hylomer you should be good

get your inlet vapour blasted it doesnt damage the aluminium that the inlet is made from i had it done on my M40

take the earth off the battery,put a multimeter in between the negative terminal of the battery and the chassis to see what the drain is. then get someone to pull a fuse out 1 at a time to see when the drain goes to 0 as there shouldnt be much more than 0.5 of an amp. that will show what circuit has...

idle up and down is due to an air leak as the car compensates then stops as it reaches the correct idle but when it stops the idle drops then it starts the cycle again . can of brake cleaner/carb cleaner around the inlet/hoses etc. and listen for the engine to change note as that will indicate a air...

get the Bentley PDF manual it will be explained in there but the jist of it I said in the last post

it has to be in the same position you took it out, especially if you took it out of the engine, you should of put it at top dead centre marked on the dizzy where the rotor is pointing and then remove it as it could be totally out hence your question. so i bet it doesnt run now or well ? there must b...
