Hi James I have just bought an E36 M42 motor for a spare and have no use for any of the E36 inlet or ancillaries . The throttle body to me seems OK . You are welcome to have any parts you want to take .

Snap on don't make mig welders Cebora do and label them Snap on , B O C etc . I have a Cebora and a B O C which work well and are reliable and are cheaper to buy second hand without the Snap on stickers .

I just read a good question about the EU to ask the stayers .

If we were not in the EU would you join and why ? .

LEAVE I never voted for this cr*p in the first place .

Google this phrase: REPORT: MUSLIM MIGRANTS RAPING WOMEN & CHILDREN AT GERMAN REFUGEE CAMP

That may be correct as I was only shown the photo , but if that was a year ago when there was no " refugee crisis " how many are in europe now ? .

This is emerging now about the little boy that was shown dead on a beach . BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The father of drowned Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi was working with smugglers and driving the flimsy boat that capsized trying to reach Greece, other passengers on board said, in an account that disputes the...

For all of you that voted yes , which of these do you want as a neighbor .

As above but ask an old ( as in age ) neighbor or relative as they may have whitworth and BA sizes as well as imperial .

Both the ones I did I left it uncompressed , I didn't like the idea of the revving to 3k even though all the front ends were either new or as new .
What are your sprockets and chain like for wear ? .
On both of mine the guide that the tensioner pushes on showed hardly wear at all .

Steve .

We would of been up for this but the extra passenger my son had at Cheddar is due to make it's first appearance around that date . Good luck with the day .
Steve .

Hi if you mean the electrics that fit to the injectors and plugs into the engine loom , then it fits but the lead comes out in a different place if I remember correctly . One in the middle and the other at the end .

Most likely mot fail too "An inappropriate repair or modification includes welded repairs or the use of excessive heat to highly stressed components (see Appendix C) and modifications which are likely to affect the roadworthiness of the vehicle." So would this include front coil over conversions an...

I have 1 e36 and 2 e30 m42 motors here and all the flywheels are the same as the m40 .

I bet you didn't use a cheap eBay welder though Steve :D It was a 100a stick welder that I bought from one of those catalogue things that most mums used to have . It was a baptism of fire trying to weld bodywork with that as I had never welded before but I got there in the end . I have got to agree...

In the dark old days we would cut and lengthen mini bottom arms to give negative camber to reduce under steer . These were used on the road , rallies , auto test and grass track and never had a single issue .

I bought the clark 10 ton one a few years ago and didn't regret it . The first time I used it it was well over the 4 ton mark . I don't know if you remember me but I bought the front panel and door from you and I have a vat free machine mart card valid from 10/5 to 17 / 5 /2015 which I don't have a ...

I will be there

Hi Matt, what sort of e30 do you have?
As long as it doesn,t have a Nissan or ford badge on it he will be OK .

Steve .

The thing is what the car was worth when the accident happened ?. My tourer is a 316i first registered 03/1994 and had an ID check on 02/2006 when it was 12 years old and worth probably 1K . So £6 /700 repair costs and it was written off . The only faults I have found in the 6 years I have owned it ...

I would be up for another meet , we are working six days a week but Sundays are free .

I thought aircon and fridge repairs were done with silver solder as it is stronger than lead solder and doesn't need the heat of brass .

Steve .

alternator will fit from an m40 but you will need to swap the drive pulley over from the m42 one .

Steve .

That's the guide I used as I had never done one before and all went well . It is easer with the cam and flywheel locking tools .
Steve .

That's only surface rust and flaking paint , if they fail it on that start using another testing station .

Steve .

I had this in a 325 auto tourer on bottle tops with a lsd on hard kickdown , it woke me up big time .

For what it's worth I have a windscreen tool as in the first link ( which is that old it has a wooden handle ) which you push around the screen . The tool in the last link it looks like you pull it which to me just seems awkward to me especially around corners .

I have three tourers my wife has one and my son has a two door saloon so no issues in this family . My daily is that dirty it's always looked down on by others but all the rest often get good comments .

Try looking at this

mine is still going strong .
Steve .

Me and Dave were hoping to come to this but family commitments will mean a no show from us so have a good one and lots of photos please .
Steve .

Well Byron if it's brown at least it wont be the micra unless it's gone very rusty . Got anything in sterling silver ? .

Count me and my youngster in , I may come in my M42 tourer as it has ben on the road for months now

Yes orange one on the bulkhead under the plastic cover , mine failed on Monday so been there done that .

From this site http://www.esatclear.ie/~bpurcell/318istimingchain.html .
”¢Start the engine and bring it to 2500rpm for ~30 seconds to release the timing chain tensioner (if new).

Your local free adds is your friend for roof racks . I have a set on mine rated at 150kg and a genuine bmw 7 series alloy set with locking wrench thingy and I paid £ 5.00 per set , both under 5 miles from home .

Also read Thinking of fitting an M42?in the tech help m40 / m42 page . I fitted m25b solid motor mounts to mine with m40 arms and where they may be OK for a track day car they are way too hard for a daily driver .
