E30 Zone

Hi, wondering if anyone can help, as the title I have a water leak coming from the cooling system. It comes from the small plastic pipe which sits under the inlet manifold. On the cooling system diagram on realoem it doesnt have a part number. Its the part which hose 4, 23 and 14 attach (cant post t...

Can someone tell me if my 1990 318is needs a cat on the exhaust or was the car made before they were made legal? Thanks[/list]

Had very similar problems with my e30, warm but not hot air. I change the heater valve but it didnt fix the problem.(although i didnt have a wet floor) It turned out that the heater matrix was blocked. I fitted a water hose to one of the pipes in the bulk head and turnd the water up full blast, kept...

Guy had it on here a few months back. there were a few very unpleasent remarks made then. dont know whats more

I went on holiday for a week and to my knowledge the heating in the car was ok, however when I came home I started the car up and let it run for about 30mins before I dove a 60mile journey.during that trip I realised that I had very little heat coming from the vents. It varies when the car is statio...

thank you very much brianmoooore.

when at full throttle the speedo drops to zero untill i pull my foot back off the gas. when sitting at a constant speed it reads fine. anybody had that same problem?

Thanks sanchez, the artical is quite handy. if found that website a while ago but i couldnt remember how i got to it or what it was called so you have done me 2 favours. thanks again every1 for your input.

Thanks guys, yea i had the rocker cover off to have a look and see where the oil leak was, i originally thot it was the rocker gasket but then realised it was the timing chain cover.

Is it an easy job?

Thanks again for your input.

i believe that the oil is coming from the the top of the timing chain cover. how esay is this to replace? i know the timing chain cover is in 2 parts but is the gasket in two parts? i am reasonably competant at working on my car but just wondering if i should tackle it myself or pay someone to do it...

Up your back passage!!?? mmmm

sorry i couldnt resist

whats worse is the fact that there is at least 2 other people in the world that like it and want to buy it!

My is runs fine however when i am in 5th and about 3500rpm it runs a bit lumpy, it doesnt hapen at any other rpm. Does anyone know why this is and suggest any solutions? Thanks

ebay is very gd for brousing.i saw my car onebay and went to see it, i liked it and asked if he had a price and if he would end the aution early, we haggled a bit and then i bought it. i dont know if i would bid on a car to the end of the auction tho. try pistonheads it always has a good range of e30s

aye its number 9 on the front strut. il try bmw tomorow. thanks very much for your help

lol, prob not the technical term. its the cap between the top mount and the spring. the top of the spring sits in it. Hope this helps

just renewing my shocks and spring and have found that i need new top mounts which is fine, but i also need the spring retainer aswell, will this come with new top mounts or do i need to buy them separatly? If so can anyone suggest where i can get them? i have looked on GSF and eurocarparts but they...

gd tips there, i also get bout 230miles 2 a full tank in my is, will need 2 try some o these sudjestions. Satty if u find out ur problem with it let us know and il try it on mine

what i mean when i say theres no power goin 2 the pump is that doesnt prime when i turn the ignition on. Sorry am prety usless when it come 2 cars although i am learnin.

thanks for the info eko, i have put a multi meter on the 2 wires that go into the pump and i get nothing, i have found the orange relay but not sure how to bridge the pins? is that just running a wire between the to pins?

Thanks for the comments guys. Sorry chicken, front spoiler isnt for sale but you can get them pretty cheap on ebay, mines cost 30quid! Quite like the front end other than the indicators so the will be changed. need to get the suspension changed cause it sits a bit higher at the front than the back. ...
