E30 Zone

wow. thats immense, i like to see a well made 4 door every now and again. arches look spot on. wheels are nice they proper suite it.

ICV= idle control valve i now know this lol. if anyone knows how to do valve clearances or any advice on correcting them and lives locally then please get in contact i will sort you out a few beers. thanks guys.

whats the ICV? sorry to be a din. I went to bmw in portsmouth today and the guy said basically everything thats wrong before i said it, like struggling to idle, power lose, car shaking and kangerooing in low revs, high fuel consumption. he said that basically i have done it wrong and to start it and...

yes well done essex boy but sometimes ppl have emergencies that are more important than a meet. sorry everyone i couldnt attend but i did post up last night about my valve clearance and in the end got it done today but now my car has poor idle problems which im trying to sort out. wish i could of be...

ok thanks nelly appreciate the comments.i just want to get it sorted as i dont want my e30 f*cked.

ok ok, i found a link to the guide i used, thanks ppl for your comments i appreciate the support as its really puzzling me. i have an m20 engine nelly. still no answer for the poor idle does anyone know why? or will it sort itself out? i did do an oil change also but that shouldnt affect it. here is...

i saw a site called bimmer diy on the net as tacky as it sounds it was quite good and it stated by bently measuring guides they should be 0.25mm on a cold engine and 0.30mm on a warm engine, but that still doesnt explain the poor idle? can you think of any other reason for that?

no nothing. i didnt disconnect anything to start off with, i just took the rocker cover off and adjusted them by instructions, i didnt have to disconnect anything. i was wondering if it were an air leak in a pipe or if i hadnt put the rocker cover down tightly enough but if that were the case then i...

no i didnt, i had the ignition off but didnt disconnect the battery. the idle is not going high its staying low like its struggling at 800rpm. what do you think i should do? go and disconnect the battery?

i have just spent the last two days doing my valve clearances and unfortunately missed the portsmouth memorial meet but i finally finished and all seems ok except the idle its idleing at around 800rpm and fluxuating up to 1000rpm every now and again then back down to 800rpm, what have i done wrong? ...

GUTTED!!! i did my oil,diff fluid,oil filter, rocker cover gasket, service light,exhaust manifold all ok, but, i have just done my first valve clearence with instruction to 0.25mm and started the engine and its tapping so loud now, not sure that i have done it right so im going to start again first ...

are you meeting at micks burger van opposite the pub? what time? i really dont want to miss this one its gonna be my first and i promised i would make this one! ironic tho that i have to do an oil change diff fluid change and other things on saturday to my car and every sunday theres been a meet my ...

ok thanks for the comments, it helps alot.

ok will i need to flush the engine? and is it the titan 0w-30? or titan 5w-40 oil??

ok but what oil from halfords? as thats where im planning to go.

another topic im doing an oil change on sat and wondering wot is the best oil to use in the 325i? please help.

if i leave the lights will they reset themselves and go back to all green or stay on red?????

thanks gareth, also another quick question, doing an oil change on sat but wondering what is the best oil for the 325i was thinking 10w 40? what do you or any other members think? lovin big bro lol.

ok so how do i reset them? or shall i wait untill they reset themselves?

thanks for the comments ppl thank you. ill let you all get back to big brother

im guessing being up in the green is better than being in the low half of the green.

ok brilliant thanks ppl. so how would those lights go out? what would i need to service in order to put them back to green?

im just wondering what is the knight rider type bar of lights under the mph and rev tachometers? it has 5 green lights 1 yellow and 1 red. when i turn my ignition on im in the green but i need to know what it is for. please can someone help. thanks you.
