E30 Zone

He loves e30's, he has a tech 1 sport you can see it in one of his videos think it was the quick freeze one

He does some good vids

They quoted me £225 for the four

That sounds a bit better, hopefully they have them

Ah ok I'll have an ask

Cheers

Double post

I can get new ones.from the US for $264 which is 200 or so quid but don't know what it'll cost to get through customs so could end up expensive or 230 new off ebay Buying one at a time second hand for 50-60 off ebay is a Ballache, most things I've ever bought off there end up having something wrong ...

Don't you just love coming home from a real crap day at work to find some scum has pinched all 4 centre caps

It's been fine on my drive for the 7+ years I've had it, can't have anything nice nowadays without some c##t ruining it

Rant over

Stu

Ah ok, wouldn't bother me so much if it hadn't spat some coolant out that time, I've been a bit paranoid since then Your suggestion of the cluster sounds interesting as my fuel guage has mind of its own as well at the moment, it likes telling me it's full when it isn't, it reads better when it's ove...

Maybe the wrong stat then, it will sit at the half way point in traffic then as I move off and cruise at say 50 it drops down maybe 5mm towards cooler on the guage without the heaters going and the heat from the heaters is burning hot The temp guage moving about only really started once the cap was ...

Very concise answer lol, I'm worried because I ran it for a couple of months with a dodgy expansion cap, someone had crossthreaded the cap, so it wouldn't tighten properly and seal never had any problems or high temps though After a good run to the inlaws giving it it a good toeing it lost some wate...

Sorry to hi jack, my 325i sits at just over the half way mark, does this mean there's something wrong?

Also noticed that if I put the heaters on the temp drops on the gauge, is that normal?

So I've got the car back and all seems OK I think I can feel a very slight wobble but it could just be me, definitely nothing like before and the shuddering seems to have gone when accelerating which was the initial problem. There does seem to be 2 types of bearing looking at pics and eBay adverts, ...

Thanks for your help, have you got the listing for that mount so I can order it if I have to

Also do you know much difference is there between the two couplings? Is it just the offset?

I'll ask him if he know about pre loading the prop and if he has

Can anyone post up exactly what my centre bearing should look like as my car is still at the garage He has a 320 of his own and has swapped.out my diff and shafts for his as he was trying to eliminate what it could be and it's still the same bad vibrating and droning between 40-60 Clutching at straw...

Can anyone post up exactly what my centre bearing should look like as my car is still at the garage He has a 320 of his own and has swapped.out my diff and shafts for his as he was trying to eliminate what it could be and it's still the same bad vibrating and droning between 40-60 Clutching at straw...

I didn't know that there were two different types I wonder if he does, mine is a facelift

if the first garage swapped it for the wrong one causing the first shuddering the new mechanic wouldn't know if it was any different when he swapped it again

I'll give him a call see what he says

I don't know what pre loading means but I'll suggest it to him

This is the 2nd centre bearing now I hope it is the right one I think he got it from ecp

I can only go by what the first garage said in that they did that, they said they marked it before splitting it. I'm now using a new mechanic who is trying to fix it, so far new doughnut, new centre bearing and now had the prop balanced incase it wasn't marked properly in the first place and put bac...

Could something have been disturbed while the gearbox was taken off?

This is a totally different noise and feeling than what it went in for originally?

Any other ideas chaps the mechanic has had the prop balanced and it's still doing the 40-60mph thing not sure what to do next

Cheers

See what the mechanic says on Saturday, may be my next step

Was perfect before the centre bearing went no vibrating droning or any noise like this,my diff has always been whiny but could the centre bearing going and then the first mechanic driving it like it at 30mph have damaged my diff further?

So wheel balancing made no difference, bit stumped really will get the mechanic to check the things mentioned above see what he thinks

It's weird though starts vibrating quite bad at 40 then goes at 60 speeding up and does it coming down in speed

This is the problem, the first garage said they marked the prop before they split it but seeing as the other mechanic said it was the wrong way round I'm not sure they did

Would the prop being out of balance cause vibration In between 40-60 only?

Having the wheels balanced right now so fingers crossed

I've also had an oil leak fixed at the rear of the engine and he had the gearbox off and said that it seems fine and the clutch was all OK

To me it feels like it's coming from the rear of the car just not.sure what to do next

Need a bit of help if anyone can Put my car in to have a shuddering fixed that I was getting when driving was like driving over painted lines in the road up until 4 k revs or so the it would seem to go but seemed to start at around 2k revs, if I drove it really gentle you wouldn't feel it. Had a cen...

Dunno but I've got one so that's 2

Are these not bottle tops?

My 325 heap

I know what your saying and you're right I probably could but it's a combination of lack of tools and confidence that stop me doing it, I use my car daily and don't have the time to be doing stuff myself, would be a different story if it was a hobby I'd have the time. I've had such a sh*t time with ...

Thanks for all the advice so far but it's still not right and I've had to bring it home I've been under the car with him and he's shown me the work done, it was the centre bearing he changed the rubber holding the bearing was knackered and he says he's swapped it for another one in case the first wa...

He said he marked it when removing so it went back the same, could the centre bearing be gone as well then l had no prop issue's at all before this morning no vibrations no knocking or warning that anything was on its way out, which part is the guibo? Have to see what he says tomorrow, are centre be...

He showed me a bearing in a rubber mount that had failed but that's all he's changed, he's gonna get that part swappe out to see if sorts it but I don't know if it will the major knocking had gone but getting a vibration when I accelerate

Help needed please Driving back from the school run today I started to slow and got a vibration starting like running over the thick painted lines on the road when your slowing down on motorways, thought it was brakes so checked under car couldn't see anything and then started getting a loud knockin...

Mine was a bit loose tbh i reckon its gone while i was driving it, hope I haven't got a local theif my centre caps have been safe the whole time I've had it

Watch what happens now
