E30 Zone

So I injured my car in a typical E30 accident last night - trying to enjoy myself in the rain, I got carried away with skidding and rode it up a kerb. I need more talent goshdammit. Damage isn't bad, but it has bust up the front valance a bit. Things I'd quite like to know from here are... 1) What's...

My mechanic friend has these seats ready to go in my car and is currently headscratching about how to sort the runners and generally fit them. If anyone can offer give him some guidance about how best to go about it, please PM me your mob no and I'll get him to give you a call!

Thanks

Chris.

Thanks guys, sorry for the delay in replying, been away. Since coming back however, the window's started working again.. Think it's just tempremental, it's failed to work for about 30 secs once before. No doubt it'll break again once I've reattached the door card :) Next job is fit the stereo, more ...

FAILURE! Drivers side electric window's stopped working on the way home from work. What have I done then?

SUCCESS! Had the passenger door apart, put grease on everything, put it all back together again, and hey presto it seems to work. Thanks a lot Brian, your help has been very much appreciated.

Chris.

Arf. A mo. There's power at the drivers door now, can hear it, but the passenger door still doesn't want to lock! Another thrilling installment soon I'm sure. Thanks for your guidance Brian, look forward to the next thing I've got to try

Er, doh...

Good God it was enough fun trying to get the red black wires out of the door end of the plug.. never mind out of the car end

Back in a mo I hope, with fully working c/locking...

Red and black wire mod as I understand it - take rubber boot off connector in door close, take connector out, find two red and black wires, cut em and solder them together.... Oh and the lamp definitely works btw ;)

Yes, power at point you said above, lamp lights.

no light under any of those conditions and the fuse is fine...

No light. As long as you mean the socket that plugs into the same box where the two relays are...

Thanks for having a go at taking this on Brian!

Hi Brian. The locking motor is obviously not working. The key does lock and unlock the door, but none of the others and does feel heavy. I have opened the locking module (box behind the speaker panel right?) but neither relay is doing anything...

Hi Brian. Haven't got this licked yet, as I actually need to pump the key to get the button to go down enough for a 'full lock'! Any tips? At all? Cheers... Also trying to fix the electrical side of the c/locking. Followed the tech guide on this site, and I'm not getting any clicking relays when I t...

Bump. Search function, Haynes, the workshop manual on here are all far from clear

Hi there. I've just rebuilt my door lock barrel with the service kit, remounted it, but am still getting a problem where the door doesn't want to lock. What exactly do I need to adjust to get it to pull the button down sufficiently to lock?

I've finally dug the little devil out of the door, and got a better idea of the problem I've had with it. The door will unlock with the key, but won't lock, and instead of even movements each way to lock and unlock, there is a nasty kick as the spring turns back over to the normal position, which I'...

After a lot of swearing, and lookng at the pic of the regulator on your site Chris, I've fixed the window. Back to square one with the locks though

Thanks Chris. Hoping to get back to you on the parts situation if I ever sort this out

Am I right in saying there are three runners that connect to the rail running under the window? Can't even figure out how to put them on.. Anyone got any pictures of one in situ?

Through breathtaking idiocy on my part, whilst attempting to have a look/fix the drivers side doorlock, my o/s electric window is now out of all of it's runners. I have tried and failed for about 2 hours to put it back on to no avail. Searching for a pictorial guide here, or any step by steps instru...
