Re: Petrol Leak

ok mate grand, the leak seemed to come from right where the pipe joins to the tank, just around the clip...

so maybe the take has gone rotted where the pipe attaches if thats what you meant?

cheers for the price too, any websites? any idea of fitting costs or times?

Petrol Leak

Hi

i have a very minor petrol leak on a 325i coupe

its more of a seeping of petrol from the area where the pipe is clipped to the tank, most likely just the clip.

is this easilly accessed to adjust the clip?

worst case how much am i looking at for a new tank?

cheers everyone who can help

its not really a high pitched squeek or a rough noise, its like a bloody "flat C" or something out of an opera singer, just round left handers though which is weird...?

E36, classic?

Can you insure an E36 as a classic yet?

Ive heard theres a 15 year limit on most classic policies these days, because my mate has a 15 year old cossie on a classic policy?

if so i might have to wait and try this approach next year with a 94?

Re: 250BHP 320i

realistically how hard is it to fit and buy an S2000 engine???

surely theyre pretty expensive to get hold of with the 6 speed box and everything you need?

there has to be a catch because that thing is awesome! such an amazing sleeper
