E30 Zone

Looks like the car has been rear ended and rebuilt.

Welcome mate.....................and by the way, you upgrade to an E30!!!!!!!!!

The short answer is "YES", if you pay Ã‚£132!!!

Check the link given or try GSF.

i put a hole straight thru a 2feet thick yorkshirestone wall at about 25mph

Are they still too tight to use mortar to hold them up in Yorkshire, Daz?

Shame you are in France as I have a stainless rear section with a 3" outlet which has a nice growl.

If you are going to bother with an engine swap, put a 2.5 in.
Bit more effort for a lot more gooooooooooooooo!!

He's put FORD tin in his E30.

Think yourself lucky, mate.

Round my neck of the woods things come in 3s!

I would think the only way to check would be visually. I'll leave the rest to your imagination!!!

They do fit but the 2 door rear base has square corners, the 4 door has rounded corners!

No don't buy one..............you'll make me jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try resetting valve clearances first. Look in Tech section on here for detailed info.

i will have to hope im lucky then it int been doin it to long a week or two at the most but it does get a little quiter as the engine gets warmer Keeping my fingers crossed for you mate. Any damage will be determined by the number of miles you have done with it ticking, not how long. Change the oil...

6 button is a straight swap for the existing clock. Loom connects to the back of speedo pod and the gong. The other end goes to the outside temp sensor in the LH air duct.

Just come across this on ebay.....

Have a look at the top of the rear seat squabs; that leather looks a bit loose/mis stitched for Ã‚£850!!!

If the car is in good order all round, save up and put original spec parts on it. You know it makes sense.

Sounds like a short on the motor if it runs permanently. If you have a spare one plug it into the connector and see if it works OK.

Thoroughly check all hoses where they join engine/rad etc.
I once had a top hose with a tiny split UNDERNEATH and out of sight that allowed water to escape, but was blown away by the fan when running, and never even dripped with the engine off. Took me ages to find it.

You can paint them but, unless you are very good with a spray can, powder coat will last longer if it's done properly.

Oh well, I tried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If your prop was out of line/bent/f**ked/doughnuts gone or whatever you would get a BANGING noise not a scraping noise. WHICH noise have you got? And WHERE! Rear of car? OS or NS? Around the wheel area? Take it to another garage, let them drive it, and get their ...

Keep an eye on ebay too!!!!

Too much text and not enough information in the original post. Also conflicting statements. First it's a "pop", then it's a "scrape"? Then the rear wheel is making the noise, but they said it's the prop. Same noise from 2 places? You need to be a bit more precise/clear with your description before a...

You don't need to learn about mechanics.

Just do as Brian tells you.

Only 1 ref, he's the bloke in the middle with a whistle, dressed in black.

Checked the earth to your clocks?

Frightened to look at mine now!

What the eye doesn't see, the wallet doesn't grieve.

Not difficult to swap , but be thorough and be careful to note where everything fits as you take things out.
You don't want any screws/ nuts left over at the end or the resulting rattles/vibrations will drive you nuts.

I honestly can't think of how you could spend Ã‚£2k on upgrading an M40, unless yyou haad it gold plated!!!!

First time I took one out I didn't notice either.................plenty of scraped knuckles etc

Remove the plastic loom cover thingy just under the bonnet to slide it out, once you've undone all the nuts etc.

If you end up ripping it out, stick a 325 in. At least you can adjust the tappets on that.

Mine work on the 320i.

Unfortunately the engine doesn't at the moment.

F**k me.

Think it's to do with condensation and ending up with water in your fuel.

Why not post it in the Tech. Section.

Just the kind of thing the mods have been asking for.
