C2 2.5 Cam, where to get one?
Where can we get a cam for a C2 2.5? Did they put a different cam in the alpina?

Re: The overall better car BMW E30 M3 OR VAUXHALL ASTRA VXR
I do like the VXR's very much but being front wheel drive would put me off. There quite rare as not many are being sold. i'm about to get a VX220 turbo.

Re:
Well ive just been down the garage and he's decided to weld the car, clean it up before selling it. It needs a sill and the front corners welding. He's put the alloys and plate on his mk1 325 m-tech and no matter what i say wont leave them on the alpina. So watch this space for updates.

Re: What to do with this C2 2.5 Alpina??
I'm not really sure what its worth, if anyone is serious about it i would recommend viewing the car. I'm pushing for it to be saved but with most mechanics i know they dont like spending time and money on their own cars. Once the welding is done i'm sure it'll make a great car for someone. It's loca...

What to do with this C2 2.5 Alpina??
We have this alpina down at the garage and starting to think its best to just break it for parts. The engine runs but not well, needs looking at. Needs a fair bit of welding as the front corners and drivers sill has gone and my mechanic cant really be bothered with the car anymore. As far as i know ...

Re: Oil sender, 3 pin or 2?
We put a mk1 engine into a mk2 car. We never changed the engine loom or car loom, so the engine loom is a mk1 and the car loom and ecu is a mk2.

Re: Oil sender, 3 pin or 2?
If we change the sender over we'll be left with a sender with a 3 pin rectangle connector and a wire with a 2 pin round connector to connect it too.

Re: Oil sender, 3 pin or 2?
We didnt change the engine loom though so the sender has the 2 pin connector. Where do these wires goto and can you wire the 2 pin sender into the car to get it to work or do we have to fit the 3 pin sender?

Oil sender, 3 pin or 2?
Hi, need a little help with a E30 we done an engine swap on. We cant get the oil check light to go out. The old engine had a 3 pin connector on it but the new engine only has 2 pins.
Is there an easy way to get the light out?
Cheers
