Might be as far on take down the beam and do those bushs as well since you'll have her up? Would make the trailing arms fairly easy.

If you buy the right boot kit it will have the grease, caps, bands and boots. At least mine did, I also have a set from BMW dealer here that have the caps on already.

You mean the metal caps?

Oh dear, there is a lot going on here! if you drove the car hot maybe the head gasket is gone. It sounds like you need a mechanic to look into by now.

It's not easy to tell, I've a 4.1 with 180k miles on it, and there is a lot of play between the output flanges and when they engauge, but still I'm sure the diff would push on for 100k more. I only took it off to fit an lsd. If they've retained their oil and not been 'rebuilt' they seem to be a dura...

One of the best, smashin' car.

Well, the chances of 2 injectors failing at the same time are next to nill. You must have a bad connection to these, are they bank fired?, if not are the two in the same cluster? I wonder could the DME/ECU be a player in this?

Check the instructions with the leads, you can normally remove one boot to install that sensor.

Lovely car, I think the black skirts and lip look well enough as they are...colour coding is so ninties??!

I used Powerflex in the rear beam of my last E30. I took the axle down and replaced the four training arm bushes also. I did not notice the ride been overly harsh afterwards, but I was running a mild enough bilstein streetline kit, so the car wasn't overly low or hard. I assume the Powerflex will be...

Okay, so they sould align, looks like the timing is out. I have removed all and there is no damage, I might get away with it. This is the first thing I will check next time I swap an engine. I still don't know why the external marks line up?

Well went to look at my timing as it was suggested that the sympthoms could be due to the belt been 'out a tooth', I found this, should the two marks align ( not mentioned in the manual ) http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr214/davidhunter213/23Mar11169-1.jpg now, the problem is, the o/t mark on th...

I would say your not firing on all 4 cyclinders when idle. Pull the leads 1 at a time and see if it's the case..

Thanks for your replys folks, the IAT is at least 1k ohm to low according to Bentley, though I think the problem is with my test method. I measured resistance and not volatge in both cases. In order to establish the correct pins I'll have to snap open the sealed cap. I'll replace the hose first and ...

Maybe so, but the hair dryer is less likely to melt anything!, no, I mean the temp sensor within the AFM itself, the reading is way off according to the bentley manual ( quoted for 20 deg. C ) but then the pinout does not correspong to my oown unit, with pins numbered 1,2,3 and 4. The one in the ben...

Hi folks, found a large cut in the pipe that conects the AFM to the throttle body, I've ordered a new one, so if this is not my running problem, it certainly is a problem to rectify. I have bench tested the AFM while it was off the car and found the potentiometer seems to work okay. My temp sensor o...

Also, if none of the above are the case, do check the spray bar if you didn't renew it during your top end build. Mine was loose at the bulkhead and caused the rocker lobes to wear down past adjusting.

As publicised in previous threads, I am having some running issues after an engine swap. The car would not stay running unless held at part throttle when cold, the car would idle when warm. Warm or cold, the car will not rev, it seems to be hitting a soft cut at between 1500-2000rpm as if the ecu is...

No I have not, though I drove the car 5 miles home from the borrowed shed after the install?, the ECU and loom were left untouched, engine came from a '90 325i...I'll try this, but she was left running for while as I needed to bleed the cooling system. The TPS came untouched from the blown unit, I h...

I've just completed an engine change on my '88 325i Touring and have some runninbg issues that I need help with. I am missing the sensor that reads from one of the ignition leads and plugs in under the OBD1 plug besdie the crank sensor. I have been told this is a pick up for the rev counter....which...

That 320 is perfect, wheels everything..../\/\

Well, going to replace mine (88 325 touring), but the question is, where is the best place to deal with?, also, is there an alloy one available that's a direct fit?...I have tried the search and not come up with anythung, so sorry if this is a serial repost!...you comments and suggestions will be mo...

Much obliged lads.

Hi Gooner, mine's an 88 325i touring, it's not the presure switch I'm wondering about, but the level sensor for the check control display, I suppose if should be about the sump somewhere?

Had to drive into a rough farm yard today and through some long grass. My oil level warning light is on on the check panel, yet the level is fine and the pressure switch goes out normally after cranking. I assume I've damaged the sensor, does anyone know it's location and I'll have a gander tomorrow...

Those Fondamentals are sweet, get them bought!!

Payment sent, agus el bumpo.....

If it's Castrol Hypoy LS will be fine but some of the miller oils or B17B are for motorosport use and will break down a lot lore quickly etc, etc.....so, if you are sure it's not an LSD, change the oil. If you are not sure it's not an LSD, leave the oil, until you are sure it's an LSD or not?..there...

Sweet...like mine, only in better nick!!

Yup, would be possible...you may be the first though....thought drift guys knew all about diffs??

Hi Taylor, I'll take an engine kit for now, PM your details and I'll send payment, thanks.

Did you check for spark?

Hi there, I would b interested in a set of each posted to Ireland?, could you PM price and Paypal address if you still have them, cheers.

Two-year BMW parts warranty to the rescue! Dud battery is the problem, pleased to have it resolved

Good stuff.........is this the first time I have been right about anything??

hi folks, drivers side window is quite....lazy...sometimes needs a wee lift to get it home!....can you change the motor brushes etc. or do you need to replace the whole motor?, any other likely cause of this...seized regulators etc.?...car was sittin up for a good while...thanks.
