E30 Zone

My first e30 so please excuse me if this is a stupid question but the word check illuminates and flashes on and off on my dials why is this? and secondly the temp gauge goes all the way to max on start up and then stays there. Are thease 2 faults related? Also on my overhead check pannel the oil lig...

Ignore the arrowed bolts insted remove the nuts that hold the brackets on that those bolts fasten to. You can see the black bracket behing the bumper its the nuts that hold that to the shell you need to remove.

If the torque head bolts are the 2 you can see looking up at the bottom of the bumper then you need to ignore them as you cannot get them back on with the lip in place. Insted you need to remove the 4 nuts that hold the brackets to the body shell that the 2 torque head bolts go through(if that makes...

so the breyton rear skirt is easy to fit with the bumper of then?

Yea its a simple job with the bumper off, just dont forget that you cannot access the 2 allen bolts that hold the bumper on with the lip in place, but if you do it as I described its very easy.

am i seeing things matt but arent they tech1 skirts a facelift? looks nice though

Yea they are, that pic is from when i bought the car an im currently sorting out and de chaving it lol so ignore the yellow calipers/drums and lack of a front lip etc.

could you get a pic up for me please matt of yours fitted on there

The way mine is fitted you will need to remove the bumper by unbolting the the 4 nuts that hold the mounting brackets to the rear pannel, (not the 2 allen bolts from underneath as you would usually when removing the bumper as with the lip fitted you will not be able to access the bolts to bolt the b...

Thanks ill check that tomorrow. Yea i think a muppet has been at work too. So far ive found a half arsed bodged alarm install, a pair of tights over the inlet to the airbox insted of a filter and plenty of shoddy wiring.

Yep nothing quite like melting metal together on a sunday afternoon

In my engine bay i noticed 2 plugs disconnected. The plugs are located on the same loom as the idle control valve which is plugged in. One of the plugs I think is for the tps and the other I have no idea what it is for. The car idles fine but when i unplug the icv the idle does change slightly but s...

Ive just finished stripping out my interior in preperadion for tomorrows welding session. http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g189/rice-racer/E30strippedint.jpg sill http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g189/rice-racer/E30nssill.jpg [/img] footwells http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g189/rice-racer/E30ns...

Thanks for your help guys its appreciated

quote]What colour wires are going to it?[/quote]

One of the 2 plugs has a single red/bluewire coming from it and the other has a black/grey and a purple wire coming from it both of wich are cut.[

Thanks, that makes sense. it was annoing me not knowing what it was, and if it had anything to do with the electrical minor electrical niggles my car has.

as above found it under my dash just tucked up.

i quite like the wheels look like wolfrace ones

They would be ok if all 4 were the same lol. 3 are i think fox as avalable from Halfrauds and the 4th is a nice looking 6 spoke that is missing a centre cap. and all are kerbed.

it might be worth checking what suspension is on the car... It is lowered and uprated but of unknown origin, as it is old and rusty. My guess is that its a cheap kit from many moons ago. The whole car has been chaved up on the cheap at some point in its life with the obligitory lowering cheap 17" w...

Must be a 320?

Yea it is a 320

6 cylinder engine with rear drum brakes??? Surely this can't be right?

I wasnt too sure on this myself, but the vin plate checks out so i don't know whats going on!

You have a plastic bumper car so it would be a tech 2 front valance

Ah i see, keeping me on the right track! thanks.

Breyton rear lip and they look like tech 1 sideskirts, probably wrong though

Thanks i was wondering what they were, I guess if i can track down a tech 1 front lip that would complite the look then?

i'd fit rear disc brakes mate or paint those yellow drums black Yea top of my list once the important stuff is taken care of a bit too chav lol You get this off ebay? How much you pay for it in the end? It was on ebay but i went to see it as it was just round the corner from me. I paid Ã‚£300 for i...

She's not too bad at all. The rear arches are starting to bubble an there are loads of niggles like the wipers dont work, sunroof needs fixing etc. I carnt pick her up till monday but ill get cracking on her as soon as she's home.
