Olly.

so brian am i right in thinking that the valve is easier to replace?
If so what does it look like?

Olly

dont say that brian, i thought it was only one thing

I couldnt say to be sure, i know its leaking and thats about it

Olly

You got my vote buddy

Well after the auto electrician took apart half of my e30 he also spotted that the heater matrix was leaking. My question is fairly obvious here so here goes. Could anyone give me any tips or guidelines to follow before i swap/change it over tomorrow? I have never done one before, is it a job for a ...

thank you brian and Globulator, I will investigate further.

Fault found! Basically i opted for an auto spark :) Toad alarm was connected to another previous installed alarm and immobiliser. the old alarm was none operational but the old immobiliser was still working along with the more up to date alarm, but apparently they were conflicting :? That was proble...

unfortunatly ian e30's are terrible on fuel as i have just noticed 8O I still would'nt swap it for another car though :) I put Ã‚£25 in mine the other day Ian, when i bought the car. I think ive done roughly around 62 miles and its nearly empty :o Thing is, i have quite a heavy right foot too 8) Olly.

Hi Brianmoooore, Its a bit of a weird one this. Battery is now dead. I really dont think its the alarm causing the problem but i went to the car lastnight, alarm chirped and all was well. Came to her this morning and the alarm didnt chirp, l.e.d stayed (alarm armed) when the car was open and battery...

P.S

I cannot start the car due to the alarm not disarming, it obviously has a built in immobilser which is clearly doing its job but not at the right time

I know if i disconnect the battery then it will be good but i dont want to do that every time i get in her.

thank you

Olly.

I think i have found the fault guys, I was told the battery was going flat overnight and it clearly isn't. Whats happening is the dash lights are lovely and bright, so its clear that the battery is fine and not dropping no charge. I noticed on entering the car, the alarm didnt chirp. I then proceede...

sounds like the control arm bushes to me, i 100 % agree with chris-w as i have the same problem, only im sorting them out tomorrow.

Hope that helps

Olly.

Please excuse me if this is in the wrong place but i am trying to send a private message to a potential customer buying some parts from me, yet i get this message : " Sorry, but the administrator has prevented you from sending private messages". Could anybody please help me out because i dont know i...

just you on your own firefly you will get it all in at a struggle, but not a problem.
Passanger seat in the boot, rear bench across the back seat and the drivers seat on your passenger seat. Door cards will slide across the top of the rear bench.

Ill show you tomorrow anyway, lol

Olly.

This is so very true unfortunatly Cotty, especially as these cars are getting older and older by the day.
When i eventually work out how to put pictures up I will show you just how good she really is.
I am astonished
