I managed to get a resistor kindly from Ady (Pompey) and fitted that but it's exactly the same? It was located under the fan motor but accessed it by taking glove box out and up above the centre console. So now the resistor has been changed, anything else it could be?

All done Brian, and to my surprise it only works on setting number 4!

I've heard of resistors to be changed to fix this fault, I don't suppose you know of any links or expertees yourself to fix this? Top bloke so far by the way!

Thanks Brian, I purchased another fan motor for it a while back but only just got round to sorting it, any ideas on the easiest way to remove and unseize it?

Vehicle: 1987 tech 1 325i 2 door Problem: cabin fans not blowing air on any setting (1,2,3 or 4) Symptoms: - whenturning temperature switch, air goes from cool to hot as it should. - direction of air switches working as they should. - when switching through fan speeds, no change in speed but tempera...

As title says, anybody know this Reg : J215TBW

It's a burgundy 318i cabriolet with an m20b25 turbo conversion, anybody know any details/history about the car/conversion?

Any replies much appreciated

Started work on it today, clutch master cylinder replaced as it was knackered, just need to bleed it now and in the meantime change the wheels and the o/s droplink 'U' clamp as it's broken. Changed the mirrors to standard ones to confirm they fit which they do, just require a lick of paint. Also rem...

Drove it back only to find it has an LSD in it!

Yh the only things he didnt say about was both rear Tyres need replacing (as most e30s do!) which I have 2 spare to fit, and the rear towing eye is non-existing (which is fine as I have a scrapper here I can chop up and weld in). Oh the engine noise is an exhaust blow on the downpipe (how he thought...

Picking it up for £500 tonight

Well it was me that won the bid and I went to see it last night. Seemed a very honest guy but I would have classed it as 'item not as described' and he wouldn't budge on the price so im giving him an answer this evening as it needs more work than stated (as always) Thinking of making a track car out...

Here is the item in question, did anybody notice this...

when i rev my e30 up to around 6000rpm (for example) and then let off the throttle with the car still in gear, the car seems to intermittently 'run on' and off and the needle on the mpg gauge drops down to around 30mpg on and off (in situ)? the car will kangaroo when this happens but only very sligh...

What an awesome bloke you are! Im going to call it a day today but going to tackle it tomorrow morning. So i need to trace that green/purple wire off the fuel pump relay all the way back to where it connects to the fuel pump? If i do find this immobiliser wire, is it a simple case of disconnecting i...

Yes i can confirm it is the correct fuel pump relay. Just put the wire between pin 30 and 87, then put the bulb between fuse 11 and earth and the bulb lit up?!

When i connect the bulb between pin 30 of the FPR and earth, the bulb lit, so i then put the bulb between fuse 11 fitted and earth but the bulb didnt light up.

Oh i do apologise! Its a totally factory spec 'G' Reg 325i Touring E30!

Going out to the car now to do those tests!

Ok, so just to confirm i have now bridged pin 30 and 87 with a wire on the fuel pump relay (middle relay of the 3) and put a bulb across the 2 pin connector that plugs onto the fuel pump and the bulb DOES NOT light up.

Where to go from here?

Ok mate much appreciated. Is there anything else it could possibly be from stopping the fuel pump working?

I thought i may aswell check before getting a new CPS.

Yes mate sorry fuse 11 is sound. Ive checked on the web and tested the crank sensor by: . Cleaning it and connecting an ohmeter to it and having a resistance of 300ohms . then i bolted the sensor back on the car with the ohmeter attached and set to ac volts, it showed i had just over a volt whilst c...

Went to start the car yesterday to go to work and it wouldnt start. Pulled the fuel pipe off the rail and noticed nothing coming through. What ive done so far: 1. Put a wire across pins 30 and 87 on the fuel pump relay (fuel pump doesnt kick in) 2. Pulled the two pin plug off the fuel pmup and found...

Very quick one, I own a 325i touring with the standard 15 inch bbs alloys currently fitted. I would like to know what offset range I can use when purchasing a new set of wheels. I've been told it is between 15 and 25 but can somebody confirm this for me? I dnt want to do any arch work, neither do I ...

Yes it is a touring they will be going on, but can anybody recommend the cheapest place to buy these springs?

Considering I only payed £380 for the touring they will b fitted to!

If you had a choice of buyin either eibach or G&R springs, which ones would you go for?

Get you hands on a multimeter, remove the large plug from the ECU, and measure the resistance between pins 47 and 48. You should read around 550 ohms. Just done this Will and theres no Ohms between pins 47+48. Just to confirm i shud be checking the resistance between the pins on the plug for the EC...

Just checked and I hav 12 volts going to the red/White wire on the fuel pump relay, but I hav NO spark.

Will and brian, I'm at work nw but will check both the relay and the plugs when I get home.

I will update when I can. Cheers, matt

Just checked brian and I hav a constant live feed of around 12volts to pin 30 on the fuel pump relay.

Any other ideas?

Where's the inline fuse located if my battery is in the engine bay? Which lead off the battery terminal do I need to follow to source this inline fuse?

Thanks for all the replies

Will, I've checked that and there no feed going to the fuel pump relay point. Any other ideas

Any1?

Just a quick one, I'm getting no voltage to the fuel pump when turning the car over. I've read my manual and it says to bridge 2 connections in the port where the fuel pump relay lives. I've done that and I've tested that the pump is working as it should, and it is. So I've tested if there's voltage...

Nice one, all sorted. Its bolted in, but need to change the diff oil. Anybody know the easiest way of filling it up? i can see there isnt much room to play with but you guys must have a technique. Matt

I've had a gd look at the prop and cannot find anywhere or anyway to adjust it. Can anybody tell me whether it's nearer the fron or rear of the prop? Cheers, mart

That's what I'm going to need to do then, I did think that if the prop was slightly shorter then it would fit. Will I hav to take the prop completely out to adjust it?

Thanks again for all the replies, if u were local I would buy you a beer!

Are you sure its an E30 diff your trying to fit? I'm not 100% mate, this is the problem. The bloke I bought it from fitted the engine along with the gearbox, and as part of the deal when he bought the engine, he got given a diff aswell. Could it be possible that my touring is running a 2.5 motor an...
