I might have another shocker to fit for time being(plan to change both for aftermarket later on).. Think the car is guna be off road for a short while getting a mondeo for the time being so ...

ive tried a new swtich (not brand new) and still the same problem??

Neither side fog light works,the light doesnt come on on the dash either which makes me think its not the bulb...Tried a different switch and still same problem Ive got a strut in my garage that has shocker and spring in, on it is says e30 318is o/s- can i take the shocker out and use that on either...

318is failed MOT today, needs fixing asap as need it for work One of things it failed on was rear fog light didnt come on, bulb is fine, no fuses broken/out...I'd say that leaves switch or wiring.. Anyone else experienced any problems with fogs? i.e. is it a common problem? Should be able to get a s...

The steering wheel wobble has been like it has since i bought it, been told control arm bushes are ok at the minute. Tried copper grease before but the noise has come back I personally have never had the handbrake adjusted or anything (could possibly have been done by the owner before however???) I ...

Im looking to shortly change all of my discs and pads Theres a bit of squeeking coming from the front and a lot of vibration when braking so i think there warped Handbrake isnt up to much either so going to do rears aswell Got some prices from GSF for discs and pads all round wondering what other pa...

autoglym do something, not 100% sure of the name, upholstry cleaner or something (green label IIRC)
works well on carpets and seats could give that a try, never tried it on mould however

Ross.

the guy who owned my 318is before me sprayed the inlet and rocker cover gold. Looks ok, not sure if i'd have gone with black or silver instead, something a little less in your face.

Il try get some pics up when i get home

ive done it

i cable tied drivers side under the ecu and passenger side is tie wrapped down inside glove box
Had to drill couple of holes on the underside

Its done now though

Infinity reference 5010 components in front
Infinity reference 5012 coaxials in rear

how much are they guna set me back? a lot im guessing???

im using 215/40/17 tyres, i know that 205/40's would have a smaller size outer wall but it would be minimal so i doubt that would change much. Plus this would change my rolling radius.

they cost about £2.80 each. There's 4 of them holding the light cluster onto the car (i think).They look white on the car but the ones i got were black? look similar though

how did people mount the crossover box when fitting components in the front?

was told somewhere near ecu box but only way i can think is tie wraps/stickyback pads?

about to start on this so anyhelp appreciated

Ross.

Will a 325i fuel tank fit my 318is? mine is damaged at the top so could do with changing.

cheers

Ross.

Been to BMW this morning and bought the clips that hold the headlight (smiley) in place

Ross.

If this fails il try the batteries
Thanks for the help guys much appreciated

Ross.

been looking it today when driving
The inspection light changes from yellow to red, and then back later on.

Anyone have any idea of this?

Going to get the lights reset and see what i happens i think

my oil service light has come on, theres oil in, not long since did oil and filter change, i even topped it up to make sure. Also, since i bought the car the inspection light has been on, the previous owner says he did the services himself, i had it serviced by a mechanic whose a friend when i bough...

I'd go with the type R's, not sure if there still available i think type G's are the new type R's

Ive got an amp for sale on behalf of my brother which powered some type R's (along with another amp and sub) and was seriously loud

Also got the type R's for sale but no tweeter or crossover

can i ask what kits you would recommend

I've got Eibach springs at the minute would the best idea be get some Bilstein Shocks?

Ross

cheers

i think they are standard dampers fuzzy

cheers for help guys

Think its only 40mm lower with 17 alpina reps

The picture makes it look lower than it is plus the drivers side wheel is on a curb which makes the gap look smaller

would you recommend new shockers? aftermarket ones? got Eibach springs

My front passenger arch is damaged: (sorry if pic is too big) http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r5/2005rossd/DSC00071.jpg Its done this before, i managed to bend the inner arch back in but its done it again What could be causing this? the tyre looks fine and thats the only thing i could think could...

a friends dad had an e28 m535i with kumho ecsta's

he said they were fantastic- i didnt think of them as a good tyre untill he told me that

i never knew they had type G speakers, are they a new brand do you or anyone know?

I know type R's are really good

maybe try them if the G's dont come off

You could try go around a few audio shops and listen to them, compare the type G's with the type S?

Do you guys just spray water on?
or do you cover electric parts?

just bought this of a mate- he only wanted £60

bargain! its awesome!

cheers for all your help guys

Ross.

cheers pony2 did you put your speaker cables going to your tweeter through the black rubber tube thing? also when i looked i wasnt sure were to mount thecrossover box on the drivers side, wasnt sure where was the best place near the ecu didnt have all the stuff i need to connect to speaker terminals...
