It is much worse than pics suggest, but I would have had it for £300, but he was just adamant that it wasn't rusty and I was just making stuff up to knock the price down. Even after I made him look thro the passenger front mirror as I, from the outside, put my finger through the floor and moved the ...

Mot'd it today and the new valance arrived, so happy days. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/alburglar/E30%20Saloon%20325%20SE/IMG_0828.jpg http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/alburglar/E30%20Saloon%20325%20SE/IMG_0827.jpg http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/alburglar/E30%20Saloon%20325%2...

They are Non return valves. Mine got blocked, spray with loads of wd40 and try and blow through them. If that fails they are cheap on eBay

Get the scissor type ball joint splitter, preferably with long arms, and you will never have to hit anything again. You will also never damage a ball joint baited ever again. This one is a tenner

In the boot I also found a proper ipod connector box for the sony stereo. I wired that in and it all works and I can control my iphone throught the stereo. Happy days! Not much rust either, only real issue is rear battery tray, but that's it. Front valance and fog light is fooked from a knock to the...

...put it in a glass jug and pour in boiling water from the kettle, to see if it opens.

Just bought a Black 1989 325 se saloon. I bought it from a retired Doctor who's had it forever. Full service history. £350. It's my first 6pot and it feels good! http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/alburglar/E30%20Saloon%20325%20SE/IMG_0817.jpg http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/alburglar/E30...

For future reference, the 3 part system from eurocarparts does replace the old 2 part system. I have fitted it now, with now real issues, but you do need to retain one of the flangeclamps from the old system and use it on the new system. It goes on the slip pipe on one side of the downpipe and seals...

Ok thanks

Anyone?

I have a 'special' old thin chisel that fits in between the pulley bolts to lock it off, but as the others suggest, a good thwack after loads of wd40 usually does the trick.

I've just picked up a cheap 325 se saloon and I've come across a problem whilst getting it ready for its MOT. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/alburglar/E30%20Saloon%20325%20SE/IMG_0813.jpg http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/alburglar/E30%20Saloon%20325%20SE/IMG_0814.jpg It is an f reg (89...

Hi folks, It's been a blast, but I have bought another car, so I will be breaking this one for parts. I will post up individual items in the forsale once they are removed. but keep your eyes open for sparco front and rear strut braces. Mims alloys with good tyres. Orange bucket seat recliner. m42 he...

YEESSS! At last I have the right crank, 76mm nose 88mm stroke:

Not doing very well on the stroker build either! Second crank got lost in the post, so the seller sent me "another one" which is a another bloody stubby nose! http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/alburglar/E30%20Touring/IMG_0461.jpg Here's its cast number: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/al...

It's got good compression. But is blowing oil out the filler (when open) and out the breathers into the throttle body! I'm gona mess about with the breathers first. Maybe connect valve cover to throttle body and ICV to air inlet. Next, as a precautionary measure I'm gonna take the oil pick up off an...

I unplugged the injector loom and turned it over like that for ages before starting properly, so I don't think it's that, unfortunately

Started it. Oil light (the one with the can and the drip of oil) was on really dim and then gradually came on brighter. I swapped the oil sender/switch (the one under the filter) from the old engine and it did exactly the same...oh dear. New switch and Compression test next. Might have to rebuild th...

Stroker build update:
The bloke with the short nose 90mm crank sold it, even though i'd paid for it? So he's now refunded me.
No loss because the long nose 88mm crank should hopefully be here this week.

Well interim standard(ish) m42 engine is in, just needs fluids before I start it. But everything has been a bloody struggle. A couple of rounded off allen bolts on the old clutch had to be cut off. The spigot bearing was too small and engine wouldn't go on m40 gearbox. For those that don't know it i...

yes same starter, alternator, powersteerinf pump etc, the rest youve listed are all the essentials from M42 donor

I'd go M42. you don't need the diff you can use the m40 one, you can use your m40 gearbox. You just need an engine with ancillaries (exhaust manifold and inlet & throttle body are the main ones), loom, ecu. You will also need a larger radiator and cowl, i got mine from an IS but i'm sure loads will ...

I want to use my e36 m3 s50b32 conrods which are 135mm and pistons which are 86.4mm. The reason I wanted to persevere with the 90mm crank is that I'd read E36 S50 B30 US M3 pistons which have 86mm diameter and 32.8mm compression distance plus 135mm conrod length, the resulting displacement would be ...

They are like buses these M47 cranks I now have found two from pre facelift e46 320d's. Just confirming the details, but i will be buying one. And the bloke who sold me the stubby 88mm M47R is willing to swap it for a 90, so I'm gonna do that too. Then I can persevere with the 90mm and if that is to...

Bugger. Can't find a 88mm 320d one anywhere!

Right, who's gonna give me the bad news then. Is this a stubby end? Looks short to me, compared with the pics on Metric Mechanics. Its M47R 88mm. Its 34mm or about 60mm measured from the start of the collar. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/alburglar/IMG_0435.jpg http://i48.photobucket.com/alb...

Do you know what years they are tim?

Ok thanks, that makes sense. I wish I'd continued with compression test now. It may have saved me an engine swap. Oh well, all will be revealed when I strip the engine down.

Oh dear. I thought that was the exact one I needed. I was feeling very pleased with myself until you said that.

I'll have to lay it next to the m42 one and see. Fingers crossed.
Which cars are more likely to have the long nose?

Just Purchased M47 88mm crank from Rover 75 Diesel!
