Hi huys, I am currently doing work on a friends 325 Touring. He has decided he wants it lower -40mm. The shocks on the car are in great condition, so im just after a set of reasonably priced springs. What can people recommend? He is not fussed about handling etc, as he is 'older' and doesnt give the...

Hi guys, I have just done a full service and cambelt change on a friends E30. The problem is, that now neither of the washer motors work? Checked all the basics, fuses, wires, plugs etc but cant find anything? Has anyone had this before, any tips on things to check, which fuse is for the circuit? Th...

You can renew an MOT certificate at any time you like. The new certificate will be valid for twelve months from the date of the test, unless you renew it within the last month that the current certificate is due to run, when the new certificate will expire twelve months after the old certificate wa...

There is a Lepsons down here in Kent, which are re-knowned for being the best refurb company around, so assuming they are both the same companies, i would say yes definately the people for the job.

Hi folks,

Can anyone answer my MOT question?

If a vehicle has MOT (e.g. 3 months left), can you submit the car for a new MOT to gain a new 12 months. Basically can a new MOT be done at anytime or do you have to wait until 28 days before the expiry (13 month MOT)?

Cheers, Mark

Hi guys, Looking for some help regarding E30 panels. A friend of mine owns a body shop and has the job of replacing a pair of rear arches/rear quarters on a cab, but the repair panel he has appear to be different? What im trying to find is if cab/coupe rear quarters are the same shape/dimensions/pro...

Thanks! I will have a read up!

Hi guys, Can anyone shed some light on the best way to connect the E36 rack to E30 column? I originally used the E30 column U.J, a D.I.Y spacer and the E36 rack U.J. I am fitting my M30 and wont have enough clearance. What im getting at is that im sure ive seen someone do the E36 rack mod, and they ...

So the MK2 clio servo gives more clearance/space, improves the effectiveness and the feel of the brakes (which in my opinion feel pretty crap as standard), and all for around £20 and half hour at the breakers.

Seems well worth it to me.

It's the plastic winged clio servo or the golf Mk1. I can't help with the year for the clio.. sorry. You don't have to use one unless your going back to P3, mine still has the E30 item in P2.5 Charlie I know what you mean now mate. A servo from a MK2 Clio with plastic wings (body panels)! I.E. 2000...

Hi all,

Does anyone know of other servo options other than MK1 Golf GTi, to use on an M30 swap?

Im sure ive read somewhere that you can use clio or mk2 Golf ones? Not worried about the need for slight modding etc, as long as it doesnt end up being more hassle than its worth!

Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend a good sealant to use around a windscreen seal when fitting to ensure no leaks

Cheers, Mark

E36 m3 lower arms use solid ball joints the standard e36 use a ball joint with a hollow ruber mount the geometry varies between them both but acording to some sources the evo arm is the same geometry as the e30 arm to use an e46 arm you would have to modify the lolly pop mount as the e30/36 arm has...

Some homework on RealOEM.com (first time ive used this, what a great site!) has shown the E46 M3 and M3 CSL to use the same lower arms, and these appear to be different to all other E46 models. Now just need to find out if these 'differences' are the same 'differences' as E36 M3 EVO and E36 lesser m...

well logic would suggest that if E46 parts fit the E36 and E36 parts fit the E30, then they would all be interchangeable. Yes that is true, but to convert E30 to E36 setup, E36 EVO lower arms have to be used, and the EVO ones are obviously different to all other E36 arms. What i need to know is if ...

There should be a metal tag on the diff cover which is secured by one of the bolts. It should be stamped on there!

Hi all, I have been doing some homework for a while now regarding 5 stud conversions using E36 parts. I have gathered all info on which parts to use and have a couple of questions which need answering. To get the correct castor alignment on an E30 you have to fit E36 M3 Evo 3.2 lower arms (among oth...

This is really quite worrying... I don't know where to start???

Words actually fail me, and to think someone paid 1K for the 'pleasure' of owning this abortion? I would rather walk...

good man cheers!

Hi guys,

Can anyone help? I am repainting my MK2 VW Caddy pickup and would like to do it in Imola red II (same as E46 M3). Can anyone tell me the paint code so i can have the paint made?

Cheers, Mark

Cheers, Mark

Anyone?

That was the original plan and thats what im going to do!

why's that then?

The spray bar is a better design AFAIK - never heard of any lube probs with an M20 one bar them getting blocked due to age?

It doesn't need reversing.. You fit it like an E30 one, it just looks reversed as the prop has the splines on the other end of the prop.. Just fit an E30 one the right way around.
