E30 Zone

used to have one of these, loved it to bits. fantastic handling, great sounding engine & exhaust, practical, very reliable ( I had it two years, NOTHING went wrong. ) Only minus point, whilst 6th was a great motorway cruising gear, I felt that the intermediate ratios were too long, blunting the engi...

I replaced within the week both door contact switches, problem solved. Thanks for all the help guys

Thanks for all the advice Brian , will try this tomorrow and let you know,

with the fuse removed they don't work

Yes, they do.

Yes Brian, the problem is exactly as you described it in your first sentence.

That was quick! Thanks for the replies guys, will try the above, as they don't work irrespective of which door is open, fuse though is ok, first thing I checked. When I open the drivers door (left) I can hear something clicking in the vicinity of the bonnet release lever, I take it that is approx wh...

The "feature" where the electric windows are live when a door is opened with the ignition off, has stopped working.

Any pointers as to where I should start probing..

Thanks

I think they look great, makes the front look meaner...

Having said that, they would look naff on today's BMW's.

Having lived in England for over twenty years, I can tell you that British roads are snooker table smooth in comparison...

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

As above, for the second time in two years, these have split again, genuine parts as well

The original part number for the set is 31129058931, can anyone confirm that the bushes from the M3 (part number 31129061222) are a direct replacement.

Thanks for the help

Definitely a a nice touch, so many times I have left the car open and come back and found birdshit on the seats

As Brian said, the heated jet loom should have TWO blue plugs. Are you sure that the two loose bullet connectors are not the remnants of the second blue plastic connector which has lost its blue plastic ? By the way, does the temperature in Athens ever go below zero anyway ?[/quote] After closer exa...

Thanks for the replies guys. the blue two pin plug corresponds to the washer pump plug the two bullet connectors are definitely an integral part of the loom and not an add on. From what I understand of Brian's reply, the washer pump plug also heats the jets??? If this is the case, I suspect the two ...

Sorry if this has been covered before but I could not find anything relevant using ”asearch”a ”¢ Where does the blue two pin connector plug into? ”¢ There are two single female bullet connectors adjacent to the blue plug, where do these plug into? I don’t know if it makes any difference to the above...

Bought a fire extinguisher base from Theo, item was as described and in excellent condition, arrived here in Athens within a week from posting.

Excellent service, thanks

Arthur

Thanks for the help, job done looks great, easy when you know how...

Both cars look fantastic, it's just the chromie is so elegant & pure, not so "heavy" looking.

Having said that, an M-tech 1 saloon wins every time over a standard saloon.

Do the bolts have nuts as well, because I fitted the bolts could not see how the nuts would fit as there is no access to the bolts from behind, or are nuts not necessary...?? Also I cannot see how the rounded arms of the base fit to the seat, (they have bolt head scratches on them so obviously they ...

I bought a genuine fire extinguisher mounting from Theo

question is I can't see how the metal base is mounted on to the seat. The mounting holes line up OK but I can't see how the bolt goes throught the seat frame??

If anyone has retrofitted this, any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Arthur

.This car is in Athens, I have seen it stationary at classic car events. Nice car.

Doesn't this just look absolutely drop dead...

This one OK?

Congratulations, it's good to be back!!!

I remember reading about the "Kendal" RS1700T in Performance Ford, I think it was around 1991/92, I recall from the article, that it was lack of development funds within Ford that finally killed off the car. I think with sufficient resources it would have been a great car. Oh, and having an anorak m...

+1 for Gliptone, in my case though as the leather was sun dried in places, it took about ten applications to get the leather to soften, was worth it in the end though

plus it smells great inside the car now.

Apart from the black vinyl roof, it's exactly the same as mine!!!

I don't believe it!!!

I 1986 I had a 1979 2.8i Ghia (WTE 90 T) wonder where it is now... within two months of buying it it had the obligatory genuine spots & fogs, 2.8i front spoiler, rear spoiler from the Injection, Bilsteins, & a Janspeed exhaust. Absolutely loved that car, just a brilliant car to drive, at the same ti...

my ballast packs are mounted on the back of the headlight units, which means that they are hidden by the plastic covers.

Leather is nice to have, but in a cabby I think it is a waste of time, especially in a hot climate, in the summer I can almost "feel" the leather drying out... I still have the original leather in mine which I maintain anally & has a lovely patina but the top of the back seat has done what it is kno...

Glad to see that others have the range issue too... (I must be the only car in Athens with correctly adjusted lights, I think it's the British mentality in me...) I'll look forward to the pics, I've read on here that 4300K are slightly brighter than 6K, but I could not find 4300K anywhere in Athens ...

Before fitting 35W HID's, (6000k)I had the Osram +90% fitted, the difference over the standard H1's was very noticeable, in my opinion the difference between the Osram's & the HID's is very minor. The HID's are night and day compared with the standard bulbs, but I still think that the range even wit...

I like them, have bought a set to fit, haven't got round to it yet though. Local to me there are two US spec E30's (plastic bumper & chromie) so I've seen them in the flesh, look just fine.
