E30 Zone

Emergency Response Plumber!!

Sounds like I have a plan then! Good advert in the for sale section with a reference to magpies interior which will open it up to people as a project! Bob on!

No i got rid of all the interior unfortunately. It wouldn't be too hard to put back though.

That's the kind of figure I had in mind but just wanted it validating!

There is one patch of rust in the rear valance with a 50p size hole in it.......Thats it!

Hi everybody, need some advice please!! Unfortunately due to financial problems I have got to sell my much loved Beema. I will post an advert up in the for sale section of the zone before I put it on pistonheads and the like. Only trouble is, I have no idea how much its worth...... Its a 325i sterli...

Hi, I know I have asked this before but I have forgotten what the answer was, sorry! Is this the same if you have an m50? I need mine to run a bit cooler on the track. Ive looked on ECP and got a part code for the water pump of 201110125 is that correct? What would be the 80 degree stat code? same a...

The corner just before the arrow on that drawing is pure filth!!!!!!!!!! loved it

This is where we booked ours!

Any of you boys going to Cadwell 18th August??

Anyone definately wanting a run will have to be signed up and paid up on the lincsdriver forum to get a go.
It's a maximum number of 15 cars on the day. Last time I looked there were 6 car already on the list.

I can see no reason why not! There should be a good selection of chariot there.
Phil on the forum said he didn't mind if ur mum turns up in her sierra for a run!

I have already slightly hijacked someones thread with this already but I'll post it again. It's a dyno day in Boston Lincolnshire Sarurday 20th March 2010,it's at Corten Miller rolling road which is reputably very good. It's £35 payable to the guys on www.lincsdriver.com all the info is on the websi...

Is that your plate Daimlerman? I was convinced you were a guy with an L reg touring with mudflaps! There must be a few sterling tourings in the big smoke of Lincoln.
You seen the nice dark blue cabby with alpinas on it on monks road? Thats nice!

Those doors are

Actually.... They need 4 more people so If anyone wants to go, send me a pm.
It's march 20th Saturday.

It's maybe a bit out of your way but a car club in Lincoln is doing a dyno day at some place in Boston that is supposed to be a really Nice set up. I'm going, it's £35.00

I am so bored at work i'm actually looking for pictures of anus shaped bonnet vents.
Didn't find any but did find this......

What about this one:

sorry to be silly

errr..... That means it won't work as I intend will it?

damn...........

Errado Andye, they are off a cossie. I was going to put the vent upside down so the air scooped in rather than out. I just can't be bothered to faff with the headlight so I thought this may be an alternative.

Been mulling over the idea of cutting a bonnet vent in over the area where my cone filter is............... what do ya think??

possibly one like this:

They are £30+postage for a pair
Is there any advantage to the idea?

Mmmmnnn.... Hated my handbrake cables too!!! Once I got those metal end cap bits out I couldn't get the ptfe liners out! Infuriating!!! I attached one of the old cables to a drill and reamed the tube out with that, got all the liners out easy then

What mileage has it done? You considered sending the injectors for a wash and blowdry? It made a huge difference to mine!
I find it odd it had less power with a new lambda, I was considering buying a new one but might not bother now....
Love the 316 badge......good read mate!

Now im building this for myself! Its a 2 seat space frame chassis kit car for sprint racing, and has a golf 1.8 Turbo. This now takes up the time when work is slow

Dude that is cool as.... Did you make the moulds for the fibreglass?

So..... Your missus was pumping the brakes and you were bleeding them, what was the neighbour doing other than glegging!!!!

Had a busy evening! I bought a new master cylinder today (sorry Geoffbob but it was a convienience thing and i'm fed up with pratting with the brakes now) Slapped it on and bled the brakes using my eezibleed thing. First off had no rear brakes at all, which nearly led me to find the nearest bit of r...

Thanks

Are they reasonably easy to take apart Geoffbob? And safe to do so? bearing in mind I am a bit of a ham fisted plumber! Thanks

Had another quick look at this problem again today. I took the master cylinder off the servo, I planned to check the spacer length. It turns out I can't get the little git out, however, I remeasured the rod to front face of servo and it's 25mm. The spacer was made a bit smaller than that if my memor...

I was thinking that if I pulled one of the front brake lines off the m/c and plug the rear in it's place.??
Might that work as a diagnosis?

The only thing I don't understand about having too long a spacer is that surely the brakes would be permanently on? In fact I just don't understand! Thanks for the comprehensive replies. I guess the m/c is jiggered whatever so I need a new one. So, should there be a gap between the end of the servo ...

Worst thing I found was getting all of the bits of rusty old handbrake cables out. That was awful! Cool you got it out!

I used a combination of a big flywheel puller and a lump hammer to remove mine. Bit Heath but it worked. If it's the shell of the bearing stuck in the case, have you tried a lump hammer and socket combination.
I found the pinion bearing on the pinion shaft was hardest to remove.

Tonight (just finished :cry: ) Took apart the bias valve like Geoffbob said and put it back together minus internal bits. Made a smidge of difference, it seemed slightly harder for the engine to keep the wheels turning. Today I bought some new discs and already had some new ferrodo pads. I put them ...
