check nut on back....speaking of which i must do mine...

i have an oil leak nothing major just stinky as it lands on my exhaust so until i take the cab off the road in winter and get it done properly is it worth using like redex oil leak stop or is it a waste of time?

i seem to have a similar thing but only when its warming up once warm it seems to go??

try adrian flux i got a limited mileage insurance pretty reasonable from them

aye hehe

no was just getting a rough idea so i know what pennies to raid out of my piggy bank as they are on my wishlist..

actually just seen someone not too far away selling a beige set for 100..need to check now whether i would get them into my e36 compact!

obviously condition dependant but would 200 quid buy an ok set do you think?

thanks

dave

i hear rumours of lose nuts on the backs of the dials may cause this...

my cab has 40 mm drops all round..see y last posts for pictures

made the most of the weather and took the cab for a drive..
my wee 1.8 auto managed the pass!

hmm think ill colour code the sills and rear bottom part maybe..
i would like to get some leather seats and some other wheels..

want to keep it original as possible but i think the the bottom front lip has been painted so may do as said and put that back to black..choices choices hehe

heres some pics of my cab brought out of hibernation

still thinking it needs some mtech skirts and rear bumper...

hmm thx for info guys..

i may just use a cushion...

do e30s have an optional centre armrest? if so any idea where to get one from ?

thanks

D

thx all..

im thinkimg i may try to put in steam valve so it steam cleans the engine...

nice one thanks

got a low pressure on my driver sides jet...just been checking hoses etc and when i hit the stalk to spray water..water comes from two holes in the shite connector under the bonnet..is this normal? as it seems to be spraying into the engine bay with bonnet down?

dave

aye thanks all

will look out for a tech 1 thingy

cheers

dave

cheers for quick replies
so is the larger mtech 1 the same size as the standard steering wheel?

and its good to get the '30 back out

well at least when the sun shines

e30 steering wheels? my cab is back out for the summer and i have the bus like 4 spoke thingy..

is the mtech 1 wheel smaller or any better? from what i can see mtech 2 ones are expensive and is ebay a good place to pick one up?

tia

dave

hehe

thanks all

i must admit im pretty pleased with my 1k cab purchase, albeit an 1.8 auto..but its k reg and in pretty good nick not much rust and solid and in a nice calypso red colour,fsh etc

hmm or i will be when i use it properly next summer!

read a few posts on here..i bought a cheap trickle charger which doesnt seem to work..so is it a good idea to remove battery negative lead ?

or just leave it be and recharge next year?

tia

dave

thanks all

i will look for a genuine mtech 2 kit then over the next few months once ive saved up!

cheers

dave

i like it..as said before keep it as is...

will be nice to see one in that condition in a few year...

did the fibreglass one fit on ok alpina?

yeah im struggling to find many mtech 2 kits about

in a month or so im going to try(hopefully) to source an mtech 2 kit for my convertible, is their any real disadvantage to getting a replica supposing they do them, over a second hand original bmw?

how much are they from a dealer?

dave

i bought a rear view mirror off ebay for my cab to replace the small stuck on one, however it has like a small spring on it where it would normally go into the frame/roof so doesnt fit..does the cab have a mirror that will fit or do i need to replace the bit near the blank plate is(which i think has...

ahh thanks for that..

mines a facelift i think so i assume any mtech 2 rear bumper will fit..

something to add to my list

thanks again

dave

similar to my last one..will an mtech 1 or 2 front and rear bumpers from a saloon etc fit a cab?

i thinks the side skirts dont tho?
