remember when removing stuck torx and allen bolts always shock load them dont try prgressive torque progressive torque will round it but big force shock loading will either unod it snap the allen key or make it jump out of the screw.

for 50 series tyres and above the rim width should be 70% the tyres section width for a normal road car

so theoretically that means a 205/50 or 55 tyre is the ideal size for a 6 inch rim

so i disagree with you so must be uneducated ... the m12 based on the m10 bottom end with a turbo strapped to the side produced 1300hp in qualifying in 1986 a 1.8 m10 produces 142lbft of torque and the m40 ... the 1.6 102lbft and the 1.8 119lbft so clearly more torque the m40 had hydraulic tappets a...

The carbed 316 was just as good as the 318i in real life, and they have crisper throttle response. Very early 318i's had Bosch K Jetronic, the switch to LE Jet was made in mid-late 1983 when they came to the UK. A good 316 can feel as lively as a 320i as well. I've driven a 318i M40 with a 4.1 diff...

buy the proper size box

Cv joint is also another good bet ..

gets worse on acceleration and almost goes decelerating ?

diff or cv joints is my bet and if the diff is that shagged youll need a new uj on the prop

pop over to stevenage and we can press them in for nothing up at the garage

get a touring fold the seats down :p

lose the acceleration?

no just move it.

f=ma a=f/m

you arent changing f or m so a remains the same it will change the way the car feels but the acceleration from standing fstart to terminal velocity will be the same

gwt done 3 times and they will take the registration mark off you and issue a q plate get done a 4th threy can crush it

2.0dohc sierra engines are ignored over here but used in malta to make silly quick drag cars

so just cut them off and cut a plug of another car join them up and roberts your fathers brother cheers brian

when i take the fuse in an out i can see a small spark in the fusebox so i guess it mustbe a broken wire between there and the sidelight ?

ive tried swapping the bulb carrier over form the other side and no dice so you think the wire is probably broken where it enters the plug ?

any way to test this theory before i start cutting wires ? i dont have a multimeter

hi guys my nsf sidelight isnt working ...

ive checked the fuse ive tried a known good bulb carrier - white connector link tried various bulbs .... i cant get it to work

what else can i try ?

jus tto add it was working last week and i know that for a fact because i changed the bulb.

i wont post my reasons for wanting to avoid them but lets say ive had some less then choice dealings with neil and the gang.

anywhere other then there !

my 316i touring ... approach the roundabout go round the roundabout a little dip the clutch bootfull of revs dump the clutch ... woop woop sideways fun

thanks brian i drilled the cap bolts out. i need to replace the lower splitter aswell as the bumper, what's the easiest way to remove it? (its the one holding the fog lights etc in place) im thinking as well what's the best way to attach the replacement bumper beam, as obviously i wont be able to a...

but what would the op have to gain from lying about it ??? try being a bit less cynical

a proper after market airbox type filter not an open cone filter with a proper cold air feed will be beneficial

well alot of it is down to gearing and power to weight aswell as power ... i think to get enough power down to make the most of some different gearing though you would need to tub or arch the rear to fit wider wheels and tyres i reckon you could get an e30 down to 1000kg and a murcialago SV has a po...

Exhaust wrap ~ very common and used often. Keep those temps down! i guess you have never removed exhaust wrap thats been on a car for a while then ? a manifold wrap will reduce under bonnet temps and keep the manifold hotter if the manifold gets above its upper critical limit temperature which is f...

it wont sell well but not having a proper interior will devalue your car alot at sale time pal i would keep it somewhere !

depends what you are used to ... i have a 316i touring as my daily you have to keep the revs up to get any fun out of it but it can be a fun little car to drive and mine is returning around 33mpg

i have to agree with kos here falken ze-912s are good tyres alot better then the 512s they replaced but i dont think as good as the 502s that came before them ! however the 912 is a good tyre in the wet a good tyre in the dry and very well priced ! try camskill.co.uk or .com whatever it is for a lis...

are you driving like a nutter ? i have the same symptoms on a 316 but only if i take it above 5000 rpm it will then refuse to rev or idle even after changing up for a little while then ittl be fine again.

yeah i know its not a good thing BUT it ran fine to where it is now so i dont think its the main problem.
