Re: Who's going to the German show at Beaulieu? (July 21st)

I'll hopefully be going but, as I won't be in an E30 (and a "diseasel" to boot,) I'll be parking elsewhere,
Still looking forward to seeing eceryone,

Decision Time - 1's got to go !

Having just bought another motor, (& it runs on the devils brew !!) I've realised I have to let one of the E30's go,

As I love the practicality of the Touring it looks like I'll be selling the Cab as an unfinished project,

Watch this space !!

They offer a very good rate on both Quidco & the usual comparitor sites but I've not heard of them,

Breakdown Cover

I never want to "tempt fate" but have always believed in being prepared for the worst, I've just had my renewal from Direct Line, even with 4 years "No Call Out Discount" it's £335 (that's "Personal Cover" for me & SWMBO,) I'm just starting to look around but all seem to decline cars over 10 or 15 y...

Re: not technical, fuel pumps. where to buy.

I would recommend a geniune pump only, I purchased my car (325 Touring) with a fubbered pump and fitted an aftermarket pump, It ran ok (at first) but was ridiculously noisy to the point you could hear it over the stereo, but eventual running problems (within 3 months) meant I fitted a geniune s/hand...

P.I.T.A

Just spent the best part of this afternoon removing the dash for replacement, what fun !!
Shall we just say that, in the end, as it was already fubbered it will never be able to be used again !
Fitting the replacement starts tomorrow after a little wiring work,

Re: thieves again

"Dont think so! You almost have no chance of catching them even if you had them on CCTV unless you have the number plate of the car they drove off in."

Even then the Police would only be interested if they did 31 in a 30 limit as they left the scene,
