That is one clean looking ride you have there mate. Is the antenna on the car electric or manual?

Sorry to hear about the fcukup mate. Just glad that you were able to sort it out in the end. You delt with the stupid w@nker pretty well AND got a free purge kit out of it. Thing is though, your pride and joy has been damaged.

Which discs are these? Where did you buy them, and how much!?

Sorry to get back to you so late davetouring, I also bought Zimmerman cross drilled from GSF car parts with the Pagid fast road pads. You can't go wrong. I paid Ãƒ”šÃ‚£196.00 for everything, including 2 brake sensors.

Do you perhaps know how much they want for the black trim?

The flame thrower thing wasn't as bad as what it looks. It didn't quite burn the would be thief to a cinder, but you could set the strength of flame to come out. There was a small peddle switch that was placed either next to or between the accelerator and brake pedal that you pressed if confronted. ...

Sorry to hear about your loss mate. I have never had my car stolen but have almost been hijacked and having lived in South Africa which is the hijack crime capital of the world, I invested in one of these babies and actually used it once to great effect, so much so, the f***ker died of a heart attac...

I've just had new cross drilled discs fitted to the front and rear of my car along with Pagid fast road pads. :clin: Holy sh!t did I almost soil myself when I drove the car for the first time afetr they were fitted. Some little sh!te ran in front of me and I had to slam anchors. I nearly went throug...

Cheaper to try a new rev counter module than a new SI board to start with!

Where would I find the rev counter module Jhonno?

That looks immaculate, very nice indeed. Cheers mate. She was VERY well taken care of. The previos owner had it over 5 years and only used it over the weekend. I've had her since September '04 and only covered around a 1000 miles. She's in desperate need of a service now as the oil service light an...

Well folks, I have finally managed to post pics on here of my 325i on the day I bought her, with thanks to Geeman for showing me how to do it. 1990 G-reg 325i Engine: 2.5l standard Mileage: 118 000 original Suspension: Bilstein shocks and springs lowered by 40mm Brakes: Cross-drilled discs (front & ...

Thanks a million Geeman. I'm sure you must all be tired of seeing the same question regarding posting images. It's worked now.

Hi. No matter how much I try, I just cannot post pictures of my car on this site. I've read through the FAQ's on how to post images, but I cannot get it right.

Can someone pleeeeeeze explain to me what to do.

She's a beauty! I'll be in the market for a sport in the next few months.

Is there any reason why the rev counter would just stop working all of a suddenly?

The rev counter has suddenly started to stick. Evertime I start the it either doesn't budge at all or the needle sticks at the 2000 rpm mark. It then eratically shoots arounds the rev counter and only once the car is warm will then calm down and work properly. :mad: Would this have anything to do wi...

Simon wrote:E-mail the seller and tell him!! Idiot shouldn't have advertised it as an E30 wheel..

He advertised it as a BMW E30 E36 M Tech II steering wheel, but it's clearly NOT for an E30. I've mailed him to let him know.

Jhonno wrote:link to ebay ad?

Harsh if so tho dude!!

any pics of the back of the m-tech2?

I'll have to take some pics and post them on the site for everyone. The steering wheel is in excellent condition though. Anyone want to make me an offer?

Did you deffo get an e30 one? the e36 one doesnt fit!! I would imagine it's an E36 steering wheel then, but the w@nker that advertised the steering wheel on ebay said that it was off an E30 M3 and when I asked him again, he confirmed that it was. Oh well... Anyone looking for an E36 M-Tech 2 steeri...

I'm looking for the clip that clips over the trip and holds them together. Some dodgy geezer pinched mine.

:cry: I'M GUTTED!!! The M-Tech 2 steering won't fit on! The back of the M-Tech 2 wheel has the attachment with the copper ring around it for the horn and the M-Tech 1 wheel is hollow inside with the attachment with the copper ring for the horn and therefore the wheel won't fit on at all. Is it just ...

Jhonno wrote:take the steerin lock off (ie key in ignition, to aux position)

That explains it then. I locked the steering wheel so that it was straight. Nice one. Cheers for the advice.

Is there anything else I need to loosen or remove or will the old one just pop off?

Hi Guys I've just received my 'new' M-Tech 2 steering wheel that I bought off ebay. I removed the centre badge and managed to get the bolt off the steering column, but the bleeding thing won't come off. It loosens up at the bottom of the steering wheel but at the top is sitting as tight as ever. Is ...

Hi Everyone

I have a '90 325i. When I bought the car, the aerial for the radio was bust off and I've never bothered to replace it up until now. Ca anyone tell me if that model had an electric aerial or was it a manual one and if so, where would I be able to get a new one?

Cheers

Hi Jimbob

What is the throttle body? Does this need to be replaced when adding the chip? What do these chips retail for?

There's a guy on here C76jon who can get a brand new set for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£300, they are quite hard to get hold of at the moment due to them no longer being made. If you do a search in the tech section also, you will see that there's a few of us making our own, for a lot less! Thanks for the info. How are...

Anyone know where I could get my grubby little paws on a set of smoked Hellas?

Any webistes I can visit and how much am I looking at?

Cheers

Those clusters tend to do that. I had the same problem once, and the fix is quite straightforward! Take the Cover that holds the bulbs off, blow the contacts off, and push firmly back into place, then screw home the securing screw. Chances are the indicator bulb will work, and something else won't!...

Hey all I removed the cover from the light cluster in the boot yesterday afternoon to check the brake light bulb.

Well Mcguard boast about the fact that they have the best locking nuts and are very hard to get off with out the key. The guy who done one of mines did the same but he could not get the socket on at all. Are you sure they were Mcguard? Andrew These locking nuts are rounded at the bottom and there a...

That is WICKED BAD!!!
