Some Sweet looking motors there fella I'm pretty local to you cant say I've seen them around.

looks very very nice bud hopefully mine will look some where near a nice a yours when its done

Right still stuck on this ..
Any ideas on this there's definently no hoses that I've missed .

Am I right in thinking 318is cable is fine to use?

Also can I still use diagnostics to help find a dodgy sensor etc

Thanks Gary

Sorry for so many questions

Right little update of what ive done today ...not much. Ive still got to do the oil return pipe but that shouldnt effect the cars running should it? This morning ive been playing about with bits and bobs trying to get the car to idle correct . It was running on the 3 cylinders closest the bulkhead s...

Sweet thats what i needed cheers mate looks like il be cracking the welder out tomorrow. As its just a drain a 10mm hole should be ok or should i go larger?

Good that's what I've used

Im just still not 100% where the hose from the oil drain comes from ? ( hole shown on the last pic)

Right I might have made another small mistake do i use e36 dipstick tube with e34 sump and dipstick? Thanks gary

Good info there cheers . Ive read it through a few times and the way ive interpreted it is that its oil seperater valve? And says i can just get rid?

Theres no hole or hose in the e34 sump but there seems to be in the e36 sump would that of been where it would of connected?

any ideas where the hose that should come from this goes?

its been so long since i took it apart im struggling to remember

thanks gary

Any help would be great guys just some pointers of what to check maybe?
Thanks gary

Wheels look sweet mate

what width are they?

Cheers mate they look

They are cheapo 17 inch tsw kylami I don't think they make them anymore as I bought them 3 years ago when I still had my cab and haven't seen any for sale since.

That's a good shout any one got pics of a staggered set on an e30??

i realy like these wheel but they are very pricey

been searching the web for a while trying to find som staggered cheaper but no luck

They do fit with abit of adjustment I think there was a guy on here with some his name might of been bobski iirc

Yes I checked for sump clearance before I fitted the box . But il have another look tomoz see what I come up with. That's what I was worried about tbh as on my m20 m42 I could turn easily and the m52 turns but is very very heavy

yes removed the back of sump bits going to have a look at a larger cable going to the starter tomorrow as danthe has suggested that to me if not itl prob be off with the gearbox and have a look

Right i got the engine into the bay today and ran out of light ive got yet another slight prob got the engine all bolted up but none of the plumbing done yet . the loom is connected and when i try to start it it just does a single click as if the starter is stuck or cant engage? none of the lights d...
