2) If it's a "BMW estate" to him, he doesn't deserve it!

Maybe BMW called it the touring to make it sound less council! never thought of that.

I repaired a split rad hose with a puncture repair patch once. Lasted long enough for me to source another pipe.

I assumend it was because the injection system used in the older BMW's was too primative to take advantage of the increased airflow (ie chucking more fuel in) so it would just run lean. If you get the figures for K&N airflow they are rediculously high compared to a paper filter. And a very small K&N...

They dont even list a land rover defender.

But £295 for my 97 vauxhall disastra, not bad considering i got it for free.

Looks SWEET!

The CB is coming back. BIG TIME!

CB's rock, I fitted one to me land rover. You need to SWR the whole rig really, whatever the aerial. The position of the aerial etc makes a difference, you have to have the right reflection yada yada. it probably wont be out enough to blow your rig up but it might be a lot better to use if you sorte...

Very unfortunate event and my thoughts are with everyone involved.

The important thing is that we must all learn a little from incidents like this. Take care on the road and enjoy life, you never know whats just around the corner.

Just look in the local paper or whatever for those adds that say 'we will buy your scrap car' etc etc. Any of those gyppos will take it no problem.

If you do get her a 5* car then dont tell her thats why you bought it, the safer people feel the more risks they take.

the E30 robbers :eek: Enthusiasts that steal! if they had any sence and they were in an E30 wouldnt they park it a bit away and walk? They must realise that if you saw it there was a good chance you would go out and have a gander. And as a theif attracting attention to your prescence isnt usually a ...

Christ alive man. I think 306 d turbo's are group five, ford ka's are like group three. The nissan Micra 1.0l 16v is a cracking car, cheap and you wont be tempted to waste money 'tuning' it like you seem to be determined to do to your E30. Spend the rest on beer, a gym and forget about fast cars fo...

theres no point, dont need em, they are heavy, and its more ridgid with them welded up.

usually if the system is not pressurised then the water just boils and goes everywhere. it mustnt have got hot enough.

seen as a few people have put pics up i suppose i had better show one of my heap...

I think come the summer its going satin black, the idea appeals to me.

yeah i figured that but i can never be arsed. its the same with the off road tyres on the land rover. expensive tyres and very soft compound but i can never be arsed swapping them for the road set when ive finished playing.

arent your rear wheels super cambered?

how do you guys cope??? all 4 of my tyres are bald on the inside but look new on the outside edge! just way too much camber from lowering it. was thinking about camber correction rear arms, would have to make the track a bit narrower so the wheels still fitted in the arches. anyone done it before? c...

and dont forget boys to DRILL YOUR DISCS!!!

and the ends of the wheel bolts! so much weight in the head of them!

Im 18 and with the NFU, just under 2k for my 318i but get my 1 years no claims next month!!! (touch wood)

Ive had quotes of Ã‚£1400 though with 1 years NCB

SI batteries? hmm im a real newbie to all this modern technology. im a land rover enthusiast!

the temp gauge moves a little when the ignition is turned on. it had crossed my mind that the two may be linked.

ill look into it soon.

you guys are quick!!!

cheers.

its an 89 318i and the tacho dosent work, im not sure if its just linked to the coil or has a seperate feed from the ECU. either way i have no idea how to sort it!!!

can anyone help?

cheers

i cant find it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all i can see is the oil pressure one (im assuming as its next to what looks like an oil filter housing)

cheers

thought torque wrench sounded a bit off!!!!

torque wrench????????

Thank you brian, thats all i needed to know.

and to be fair i quite like the 1.8, it pulls pretty well and is fast enough to keep up with traffic day to day. Put it this way if i could put a transit diesel engine in with little fuss then i would. And LPG is great but i bought an LPG kit for the V8 land rover i had but never got round to fittin...
