Anybody think there might be other causes of "Mayo" in the rocker cover than a blown head gasket?

i was at work when i saw it and was like " WHAT THE ****! " typical ******* top gear. ruining a relic proving some stupid unrelated totally irrelavant off topic point about a shit vehicle. top gear is trash and has been for years Couldn't agree more, 1 reasonable bloke dominated by 2 stuck up idiot...

I reckon the "grease em" idea was the best, but how do I get Hammond or Clarkson to drive it first??

Sounds like a lot of ballache for almost no reward!!!!!!

"And this is the bar and the pin/clip with the new bush next to it - cut the end off the old bush with a stanley knife and it pushes out - new bush pressed in using nut/bolt/washers as a "puller" and plenty of washing up liquid as lube" Just browsing this and noticed the comment above, a quick tip i...

I'm trying to give someone a box of E30 bits & bobs, nothing over valuable but maybe some use to someone. Things like 2 x bonnet rollers, ashtray, wheel chock, wheel brace, several interior lights, some relays, some bulbs, reinforced washer hose & T piece, rubber body mouldings, side repeater indica...

The A35 looks best!!!!!!

What's the situation before you drive it home, i.e. Is it SORN'd and how long ago was the last tax.? These are questions plod would ask. Also check your insurance :- does it have a disclaimer for untaxed or non MOT'd cars? If all else fails :- get a couple of "legal" mates to sandwich you on the way...

Hmm, I was hoping no one would mention the M/C. I'll check the flexis in tommorow and report back. Thanks guys! If the master cylinder has gone you can normally pump the pedal so much and get the brakes to work this sounds more like tired flexi hoses. If its taking more pressure to get the same eff...

Those clever Germans....I don't know.....What will they think of next?

They didn't think of it, the yanks did!!!

Hey, if Tech 2 kit with pre-facelift rear lights was fine for BMW themselves to do (Macau & Sebring Motorsports), im sure they fine on your car....End off. But it was a rare early motorsport. Nearly every cabby I see has had a tech II kit slapped on it. Some good looking women have surgery, then co...

Was that to both of us ?

I'm pretty sure its aimed at "jasons" only, took me a while to understand but its excellent - sarcky git.

I wouldn't normally dream of stealing a car but just out of interest can you tell me your exact address and when the car will be there unattended and to save any damage could you leave the keys somewhere handy??

Fair play to you Staffy, looks as tho' a lot of works gone into it not to mention money. As for the silver, christ, if my car was that clean underneath I wouldn't give a s**t what colour it was.

Ah the good old capt Mannering

It's Captain Mainwaring actually old bean!!

That tester isn't much of a mate and in my humble opinion needs f*****g. He's quite happy to fail it on headlight adjustment and let vital suspension faults that could (in theory) get you killed, go as advisories. I'd have been happier if he'd done it the other way round.

A stitch in time saves a bird in the hand while the irons hot in the same basket.

Mountains and molehills????? No money lost by the sound of it and the guy has apologised profusely.

Usually about £10 + p&p off ebay U.S.A.

Was just going on looks and the M30! Why whats wrong with it?
Nothing in particular. Its just you cant base comments like that from just a couple of pics on the internet.

It can't be the nicest anyway, its not Malachite.

Every time I see a touring in that colour I go Malachite with envy!!

Colour match the bodywork colour.

Good because one of mine don't work
Most supermini's have one reverse light.

If two lights are fitted they must both work, like the spare wheel (if its bald it'll fail but if there isn't one thats O.K.).

What an epic, all for the sake of stating the obvious. "Buyer beware", if you want to buy something costing a lot of money; examine it first then offer what you think its worth and if you later realise you were wrong don't moan. I was always told "you don't hear a fishmonger crying stinking fish for...

Whats E30 about it?? At most its got a little bit of E30 bodywork and thats about it. You might as well call an F14 a Cessna, they've both got ally panels somewhere.

True, I can't disagree with that. When I say "hard time", he came up behind me quickly, and when I nailed it through third and fourth gear he couldn't get passed, I even seemed to be pulling away slightly, but I obviously don't know how hard he was actually trying. And yes, I do pay more in term of...

My M30 turbo gave a 911 (996) Carrera a very hard time! winkeye I notice you said a "hard time", I assume you didn't beat it then and that just proves the point, if you want your E30 to perform like that it takes money-hard work and time. At the end you've got a non standard car thats not going to ...

Yeah it can, anything CAN be done but by which E30 to which Porsche.

Find a good M42, spend your money getting it overhauled to as new cond. and maybe a bit of tweaking. Less hassle and you know what you've got, unless you want to do over a hundred ALL the time or beat Porsche's away from the lights. In that case, sell your E30 and buy a Ferarri.

Product called " De-Solvit", liquid or spray. Completely harmless to ALL materials, even skin. Its absolutely brilliant, Ive used it loads of times on all sorts, even clear plastic headlight screens.
