E30 Zone

Can't see a problem, you can always spend time and shop around.

Yep that's the one, big mistake buying that. Needed the roof down to get rid of the fumes of burning oil.

The Z4 i had leaked oil from the rocker cover on to the manafold used to smoke and stink of burning oil when first started.

H&H Auctions lot 25. E46 Alpina B3 3.3 / year: 2000. Could be a good investment.

They have been fitting new safety barriers along the side of the Rhigos road, I'm only a few mins away in Blaencwm but due to lack of garage my E30 is still in Berkshire.

Negative lead from body to the engine?

Nice early 44k 316 on copart auction.

Spray some WD40 in the window switch, if that don't help try the connector at the door pillar and spray some more.

Is the end stud (back of engine) broken or loose that would cause the sound you can hear, i would start with new gaskets and studs plus nuts. Like others have said plenty of spray oil and a good hot engine. Good luck

If you remove dip stick wipe on a bit of white kitchen towel if it is a dark colour and smells burnt then it needs replacing, have you checked the level of the ATM?

Let me know if you need any panels, i have a 96 Boston green touring but it is going to be crushed very soon.

does any1 know why it would be covered in oil / The valve cover gasket has failed.

Bmwe21. net is a good forum with plenty of help.

If you go to your local Halfords they will give you a cycle box, which is ideal for boot lids and wings.

The drain can be from the si board are some of the led's iluminated / dim when ignition is off. Cheapest way to repair would be to fit new battery's to si board from maplin.

Yes they are different.

A ring spanner with good deph.

Both my autos are leaking from that seal, easy to fit a new one just a big pain getting to it.

ATF dripping from bottom of bell housing, gearbox shaft oil seal has failed.

Has the new one got a plastic lense rather than glass?

What condition is the engine earth strap in? the smell of oil could be a leaking valve cover with oil being burnt on the exhaust manafold.

Maybe it is time to reveal the suprise to get more interest?

Easy to replace, remove door card two 10mm bolts and a hammer to knock the pin out, o/s and n/s front door are the same.

I would not have a problem with that plate, having drilled (removed) many.

A few.

Post a picture to show the vin plate nice and flat to the side of the engine bay and another of how it is secured.

Old steel from scrapyard to the processing plant is £180.00 a ton.
