Hi Zoners, Had an unfortunate bump with a pot hole on my e30 cabby! :cry: A rattling noise is coming from the rear, so I pulled over and took a look inside the hood Bay Area and noticed driver side rear top suspension bracket had popped up/out :x Does anyone know if I should check for any other dama...

Hi Zoners, Had a real upsetting drive this afternoon, the top suspension bracket came off my cabby when I drove over a serious pothole.. :cry: I noticed the rear driver side seemed lower than usual, with rear arch almost sitting on my tire.. I proceeded to drive slowly to a nearby lane and await rec...

Hi Zoners, Can anyone help me? Over the last few days my 325i, on early morning start ups doesn't seem to kick-in the idle valve and just cuts off as soon as I take my foot of the gas. Could this be my idle valve on its way out ore something else? Sometimes I have to sit there with the foot on the g...

Should I check the window override button and its connection in the centre console?

What do I do if it's all connected but still no window function?

Thanks

Hi Brianmooore,

The overload button is pushed in and there is no light up on the buttons.. what does this mean..?

Hi Brianmooore,

I will go and check.. apologies for the lack of information...

Dear Zoners,

My electric windows have suddenly stopped working... I've checked the fuse and they all seem fine.. can anyone help?

Wow!! Thanks markus_74 & blazed!!

Wow!! Thanks markus_74 & blazed!!

Dear Zoners, my e30 brake lights seem to stay on even when I've lifted my foot off the pedal.. :? If I lift my foot off quick enough then the light goes out, but if lifted gradually then the brake light stays on... Any ideas? Does it mean I have a sticky brake switch? If so where is it? And how easy...

Hi Brianmoooore,

My rims are 16" on standard bilstien shocks and eibach springs, can I get a better set up?

Thanks, tripper

Hi guys, Calling all convertible owners with m20 engines...! 8) 8) My cabby is (I think), had a 35mm drop and I intend to keep the drop but improve the suspension and feel while on the road, not so bumpy. Is there a way to keep the drop and still get a nice feel on the road.? Or, am I just asking th...

Dear Zoners, I need new seals around both my doors because rain seems to be getting in around the top of my door glass, even when the window is completely up. Would I need to get a new complete seal kit, or can these be purchased new separately? If so, does any one have specific part numbers for the...

Hi Zoners,

Is there anyone local to me who has a electric roof cabby which works fully, So I could compare what mine isn't
doing correctly?

Thank you anyone,
Tripper

Hi Gert, where are you based?

Wow Gert!

Information overload - you sure know your stuff!! Lol

I think this is something for the weekend.

Still not sure what I'm looking for, but I'll give it a go, I'll be in touch.

As always Gert thanks

Tripper

Hi Gert, Yes, (to your question). I am having to raise the rear hoop manually - but once I've done this the horseshoe opens automatically. Yes, then the roof retracts as it should into compartment and finally closing horseshoe as it should. Does this give you anything?? thanks Gert, I appreciate how...

Hi Gert, Please see picture below maybe you could shed some light on this.. :( http://i.imgur.com/RZSgfMI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9dZEfUI.jpg If you see below I'm still having to lift the rear screen section. Because if I press the button the horseshoe section closes onto the screen section :cry: htt...

Yes I will put some pictures up.

Yes Gert your right the motor is working fine just as it should, but the lifting and lowering of the rear screen section just doesn't happen...?

Does anyone know what arm or cable lifts and lowers the rear screen section on a electric cabby roof?

Thanks, tripper

Hi Bally (& zoners), I did manage to replace the broken bolt with the new plate but with no avail.. :( One of the arms is not lifting and lowering the rear cabby roof screen.. and I cannot see why - or which arm should be performing this movement..? Can anyone please help..? :( Many thanks in advanc...

I hate my Clifford alarm!

The remote battery runs out too quick, it has too many buttons to remember key functions!!

Just wish there was a simple but reliable security alarm for my E30 Cabby??

Thanks
Tripper

Thanks gromgsxra˜„

Apologies, but where exactly on the left hand side?

Thanks
Tripper

Hi Zoners,

Does anyone know if there is a visual difference between the high compression 325i engine to a standard 325i engine??

thanks,
tripper

WillNZ your a complete legend!!

Not forgetting Gert & Brianmooore and BenHar for their invaluable input.

I will follow your guidelines as stated above, I should take pics and notes for other Zoners..?

Thank you all,

Tripper

I think I have the Brianmooore, I used this for replacing a bearing ring on my basin mixer tap lever.

I still need help guys on installing this repair plate..

Thanks guys for all your tips, but I really wished there was a step-by-step guide for this...

Really worried I'm gonna screw this up

Really wish there was a Wiki page on this?

Thanks again Gert, I'm hoping to get this done this Saturday (weather permitting)? I will need to drill x4 hole for the plate right? Take both top arms off ensure they stay in the same position in terms of spline alignment (possibly mark with a marker current position). Does the top arm simply just ...

Hi Gert, Yes the roof does work partially, I can get the lid open electronically and stop at that point and lift the rear screen section to get into the roof compartment (access motor from the top). By the sounds of it, I should have the need to drop the motor from underneath? I should be able to ch...

Hi Gert, The cabby repair plate arrived from Germany - and to top its all in German... argh!! :cry: Please see the pictures below of what was sent out. Your installation guidance on this would be hugely appreciated?? :) http://i.imgur.com/vHpfj2O.jpg Close-up of the instructions in German: http://i....

Anyone....?

Hi Zoners, My 3 stripe leather seats desperatly need some restoration, the leather is good and I can fix that no problem. My real concern is the original 80s Motorsport 3 stripe leathers, is there a colour code for these? Not just red, blue and light blue? But the correct Pantone colour shades? Mayb...

Sorry guys

Thanks Brianmooore and you to Grrrmachine for the link

Searching the Wiki will be my first point of call, before I ask you guys any help.

Once again many thanks,

Tripper

Understood JF!

Any specific glue? Besause it's got to be tacky, making it resealable..

Thanks JF008 & Brianmooore,

Do you guys think this would still be available via BMW & price wise?

Thanks, tripper

Thanks Brianmooore,

Where would the throttle position switch be, and how would I know that it's behaving correctly?

To clean the idle valve, is it as simple as disconnecting and soaking it in carb cleaner for a few hours?

Thanks, tripper
