E30 Zone

Hi all,

Need to move my car from its storage this week, but putting it back together and one driveshaft is knackered.

Needs to be from a disc brake car.

Does anyone have one? Able to travel to anywhere between Wakefield and Chesterfield!

Thanks,

Pete.

This is really sad. Been buying stuff from Pete since 2008. Knew he’d been unwell a few years ago, but wasn’t aware of this.

RIP Pete

Hi all,
It’s been a while!

I’ve gone and lost one of these when putting the rear and back together.

Item 12 on here:

What do rear disc trailing arms go for these days?
£195 delivered for ABS
£175 delivered non-ABS

Thanks, will be needing non-ABS in the near future so will be in touch then.

What do rear disc trailing arms go for these days?

Oh crumbs.

When I win the lottery, do you want a job?

Cheers for the replies. Got someone sorted now.

Hi,
I'm after someone to sort my jacking points. Not after the OE style with the square bit, just for a tidy job and for it to be sound. The car is living on a ramp in a unit, but I'm no welder.

Anyone got any recommendations? Car is in Sheffield

Any updates? Sucker for a green car, even more-so an E30 Alpina

I paid about £1100ish on my 316 auto when I was 18 I think. Didn't Change when i swapped it to manual. Coilovers and wheels declared, nor did it go down much over the years.

Alright chaps and ladies My E30 has now come out of it's 4 year hibernation and is going to be put right finally. It needs new rear arches so will be ordering the repair panels. However, I've always had rubbing issues with tyres and running wider wheels. I wont run daft stretched tyres. Its a faceli...

Yeah, slight change of direction down here now. I'll have to pop down, will be dragging my 316 out soon, been locked up for 2 years now.

How's it gong Pete? Calypso looks good

Sorry, this went ages ago.

Bloody hell. What a car.

What do you think? Would look better in a subtle colour The outside I could live with, the interior, only if I was blind ! Who orders serious cars with grey interiors ? :? Grey interiors are for people who buy out of catalogues and paint every room in their house magnolia. Outside looks nice.

Hi Chaps, This might be useful as a donor motor for an E30 or just as another runaround. I bought this just over a year ago to run around in and then pop the engine into my E30. But the E30 is now so far from even being able to roll and I have a different daily, which means this is redundant. Comes ...

There was a green E36 328 Touring on Azevs going lately for top money (had pretty much everything replaced on it though) but at £3.5k you're into decent enough E46 Touring territory!! That started at £5k! Its now £3.5 without the Azevs i think. Yup, but you could purchase the Azevs for extra £, sti...

My e36 manual Sport Touring is a pleasure to drive and has been ultra reliable over nearly 3 years of daily use. I don't think they are cool yet but I just like the looks and the fact that I don't see them on every street corner! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/537/IHoeXH.jpg Very nice....

My 328 touring is Montreal. I don't think its a bad colour when clean! Wish it was green though.

The crusty one in the eBay link

Haha this is/was mine!

Car seems to be OK now. I re-checked the fuse and it was fine, but I changed it anyway and it started straight away. So turns out it was a dodgy fuse (which looks fine)...

Yeah, so, I'm an idiot. Thanks for the tips though chaps.

Now.. who wants a 328 touring?

Check the cam and crank position sensors you may need to get the codes read. Also it may be a stupid idea but does the touring suffer the same fate as the coupes with the loom chaffing in the boot lid? I've a feeling so, a design fault they say. Probably explains why my rear wiper doesn't work and ...

i had a problem on my old e36 which had done really high mileage and knackered the ignition barrel, waat was happening when i turned the key was the whole lot rotated - not allowing me to start the car I found an online guide which showed you how to remove the barrel with some hair clips on youtube...

I want those wooden door trims!

Hi Chaps, I know this is an E30 forum and Im asking an E36 question, but theres a tonne of knowledge on here. I have done a search, but couldn't find anything. If there is and I've missed it, feel free to punch me in the face. Having a few problems with my '97 328 touring. It doesn't seem to work! A...

Good work.

Would you like to do my bodywork?

What are these worth? Thinking of shifting mine on at some point.

This is the first effort. Just welded, smoothed down with a sanding disc and then sprayed with zinc primer as advised. Not perfect but not bad I don't think. http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/PeteMCFC/8B3AAE27-1090-41AC-B006-25CE7B37B64A.jpg http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/PeteMCFC/0B6...

Nice one, thanks a lot for the tips chaps. Going to have a crack at it today. I'll bang some pictures up along the way hopefully.

Wish me luck.

Pete

Sweep I'll call you in a few hours about bits and bobs.

It's bits like this which worry me, all the aligning and making sure it looks unmolested when painted.

Yeah I've changed it before, just a hassle because I'm great at misplacing little screws and clips. No matter how organised I try to be!

I've read about the fuse box to...
