hi Ive removed the drivers door lock to repair it now I can`t remember how it fits! when looking at the lock barrel facing the car,which way does the end face to the right or to the left?? help

is there a vacuum connection to a non swicheable auto box on a 320 ? just wondering

cheers I forgot about this, I`m trying to sort autobox so I forgot I`d asked this!

It seems to be temperature orientated only does it when cold, not when warmed up

I believe it is non switcheable, I have just changed the fluid and strainer,the haines manual say`s to check the level with gbox in park (after moving through the `box) is this correct? I have an American auto which tells you to check the level in drive.I know they are totally different but just wan...

does my gearbox have an ecu? does my ecu have anything to do with the gearbox? this fault has got to be caused by something else the gearbox doesn't slip it changes gear as it should,its just when cold it takes a lot of revs to change,then once changed it`s fine or when warm it`s fine,I don`t want t...

hiya I have a 320i cab. auto I have just changed the fluid/strainer and although it is much better still the problem remains, which is when cold it takes high revs to make it change up, once it has changed gear it is perfect ,changing gear as it should no slipping or any niggles. Is there some adjus...

my wifes car is a 320i convertible e reg the heater fan has given up the ghost, after making a terrible racket for a while, can anyone tell me if they are all the same? has anyone got one? has the dashboard got to be removed to change? thanks

help my wifes car, a 320i convertible 1988 on an "E" has developed a few probs. One is when you turn off the engine the tacho flicks up and stays on 1000 rpm with a "click" under the bonnet ,like a solenoid, the gauge which tells you the fuel economy also moves as far to left as is poss when you tur...

Help when I turn off the engine on my 320i cabriolet after a couple of seconds the rev counter goes up to 1000 and the economy gauge goes to about 30 anybody any idea whats causing this?

my wife`s 320i cab has developed a vibration/knocking noise underneath, I drove it last week for it`s mot,and this week for a re test, it seemed worse last week but is never the less v. bad it is worse when cold and also when under load but lift off and coasting it`s not there, could it be the props...

can anybody tell me what size i.e dia. + pitch the brake calliper bleed nipples are on a 320i cab are? ..............thanks in advance

does anybody have any of the clips for the trim that runs along the sill of a cab. the ones on the outside visible when door is shut, or anyone know what they are called?

is it mechanical/fluid pressure that locks up the convertor or is it electrical?

just disconnected the kickdown cable,(unhooked it )took car 1 junction down motorway .............no difference 1st 2nd 3rd no `d` even tried it manually won`t change into top

the changing into top gear doesnt improve,I once managed to sort it by adjusting the kickdown cable(the setting of the small stop on the cable) but that does`nt seem to affect it anymore

having some trouible with wifes cabriolet,when cold it needs high revs to change gear for the first time,then its ok,or at least it was,now sometimes it refuses to change up, and when it does it will not change into top gear, would a fluid and filter change work or is it something more serious

just thought when the needles move they stay at 1000 rpm and eco gauge at about halfway and when ignition is switched on they return to their correct positions,its not a flip up and back down if thats what you mean?

thanks for putting my mind at rest,I thought it could have been the reason for the fuel pump packing in

fitted the new fuel pump ,car now starts great,now,when you turn off the engine the rev counter moves up to 1000 rpm and the economy gauge moves to about halfway,all go back to normal when ignition is turned on,does anybody have any ideas?

with a test light, yes

tried what you said brian,has 12 v at the pump so new pump on the way

no,nothing anybody got any ideas ?

Wife`s car has broken down again,will not start,cranks over,tried shorting out fuel pump relay no`s 30 & 87 nothing, seems whatever it was last time is still faulty

HELP

well I connected pins 30 &87 as you said,nothing at first,then bingo fuel pump worked,it seems the green/purple wire was hanging on by a thread,soldered a new piece of wire in there,thanks Brian I would never have found it if not for doing what you said

you can hear petrol sloshing about in the tank , I`ll try what you said tomorrow Brian and see what happens.

I`ve not tried that but I substituted a good relay and no response,I also took off the plate under back seat and checked for a live ,the large three prong connecter has an ignition live at one of the outer of the three prongs,with ignition on and including start,do I still need to try jumping the pi...

my wifes normaly reliable car does`nt start,when you turn key there is no energising of the fuel system,i have changed the main (white ) relay,I have tested the pump relay etc, any suggestions ? please?

hello everyone,I`m changing the o/s front lower wishbone, it was very hard to get the front bush mounting (I think its called a lollipop) off the old one, I had to hacksaw the wishbone so I could get it in a vise to slowly push the remnants of the "pin" out,I tried it on new arm for fit,and it got s...
