Re:

try it m8
mine works fine now.
before i just used to change the fuses like suggested here.
.
if its wrong;what have you lost?

a fuse is built in weakness in a circuit, if it blows; there is a problem elsewhere.

Re:

The window lifts have separate fuses for doors closed and open. ok. there has to be more of a problem because the windows will just keep blowing the 'shut' fuse. i was pointed to the rubber boot by my bruv in law who has worked for bmw for 30 yrs, he was a service advisor all through the e30's mode...

im a bit confused, how would a fuse make a difference? if it was a fuse then the window would work, or not work. i know it will blow a fuse but the problem is not in the fusebox itself. if the windows work while the door is open then the problem must be increased resistanc, by sliding against the ru...

Re: My power windows only work with door open. Help!!!

mine did that but a little wiggle on the rubber boot down near the door strap sorted it out.
there must be a bad connection and the wiggle established where the problem was.

worth a try.
although im sure the plug under the boot will need cleaning for a more permanent repair.

Re: Rear axle bushes

a quick check on your tyres will tell you if your tracking is out. rub the outside edge of the tyre in a clockwise direction see how it feels. then run your hand in an anti clockwise movement and see if its different. it should feel reasonably smooth both ways but if one way seems sharp/rough or jus...

Re:

dumb as it seems, have you checked the fanbelt?

if you rev the car hard while standing will it still make the noise!
i know you mentioned where the noise is from but its hard to tell sometimes.

a tiny squirt of WD40 will stop the noise but if it does, a new belt is needed.
