Reminds me of these vans...

Its not that hard if you sort-of no what your doing... I brought my roof from BAS international.... @ http://www.car-hood.co.uk/content.php?nID=2&cID=22&pID=110 - prices have gone up now but I paid £403.03 to be precise along with a tin of their High Heat resistance adhesive. (not advertising btw) A...

Oryte Lads, Wondering if anyone can help... What would be the options available in terms of diff for a M50 conversion using both e36 engine and box? My mates nearly done his conversion in a 320 cab but where not too sure which diff to use. Will a e36 compact 3.23 ratio diff fit? are they any other o...

The supergluing doesnt sound too good 8O - I shall soon find out! Lol. Item 3 is what I have to bond to the windscreen, Item 2 is just a rubber ring. Ive stuck it on with Tiger Seal with a nice neat black circle looking from the outside with no air bubbles, Ill give it a few days to dry before I fix...

You shouldn't need anything if you have the right screen. There should be a special dot on a convertible screen where the triangular mount bonds. In fact, every convertible screen I've ever seen already has the mount bonded to the screen. If you do not have that mount, i.e. a saloon / touring scree...

Brianmoooore - really appreciate the detailed routing of the wire! Thank you! Ill most likely tap into it at the sill and take a wire up to the rear view mirror. DanThe - The screen/roof is brand new which I fitted last year, so its still clear. However it does have a slight green tint to it so I ma...

Its best if I did wire up the reverse light otherwise I'll be reversing into something or someone with it being a cabby!

Thanks for the help guys!

I can see the pics and it ties in very much with what 'Grrrmachine' is saying. The 2 black pipes you've cropped in on are fuel lines - Id check the rubbers haven't perished around the ends near the jubilee clips (you can see this on the first pic you've posted). If they have - chop the ends off for ...

Oryte mate,

I had the same problem - checkout my thread for a solution.... http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... highlight=

Hi Zoners, Looking for some electrical help... Im retrofitting an e36 auto dimming rear view mirror (3 wire version). The wires on the mirror are: Brown/Orange - ground Purple/White - +V Blue/Yellow - Reverse Light Feed Question is: Where could I get the nearest reverse lights feed? Car in question ...

Im interested going M52 over winter while the cabs off the road.....how much you looking for the conversion?

Does anybody have any pics of the rear speaker pods people have made/used in the convertibles? I remember some being for sale in the sales forum, but cant find the pictures. Installed some 5.25 alpine speakers in the cab and they sound shit, maybe because the panels have been retrimmed and not had t...

Why not just get one of them tape things that plug into the ipod with a wire? Use ur iPod on the blapunkt?

You can see the loom in this picture - to the right of the really big connector - its the first long connector with 4 wires coming off it - could say in the middle of them wires. The picture below is of a 318i, and I have a 325i convertible and there the same connectors. Hope it helps. Gov http://fa...

Theres a socket at the back of the glovebox that allows a slim socket to be plugged which is for the stereo - it has the earth, positive and ignition - which is used for the stereo. With regards to having two stereos - it can be done by putting on 2 connectors on the end of the wire ive just mention...

Also another thing to note is some dashboard's have different multi pin connectors behind the glovebox. I did mine last week and had to use my old dashboard loom.

Thanks for the reply willnz, Do i check the resistence with the ignition clicked once? or off? I have replaced the injectors back to the old ones and checked the spark plugs.... They were all black and slightly wet off with petrol (these were put in round about last week).... http://i674.photobucket...

Hello there, Wondering if anyone can help me or has had the similar problem.... First day of having the car back on the road yesterday after nearly 2 years off the road..... Car was working fine however it had an issue when it was offroad of slight missing, and being running abit rich - took it to a...

I dont know if the same thing has happened to mine, however the symptons sound the same!

Did your engine refuse to start? Mine seems to be missing and not idling, backfiring and all sorts! However I thought this was because of a 'mechanic' screwing my AFM up!

If any you guys are interested in this plate: E30 BAD, Its going at £300 on dvla auctions.

Found it while looking for something interesting - not my cup of tea!

I may as-well get a new lighting switch to keep everything original.

Thats correct (sorry for the confusion). The power is fine, once ground is applied by touching to the body - the motor works. Would it be a best bet to replace the wiper stalk?

Really appreciate the help!

So that confirms the bulbs aren't blown. It confirms that the dimmer section of the lighting switch is though. Does that mean I need a new rotary headlight switch unit? As for the washer pump - the +ve on the water pump is very low (light very dim when connected using a tester), if I connect a +ve ...

Yep I made sure the headlight knob was all the way clockwise.

The dash lights come on when the rear ashtray light is earthed. So that confirms the bulbs aren't blown.

Correction the ashtray light does come on when shorted, forgot to turn sidelights on (idiot!)

Thanks for the help guys! I haven't got a voltmeter on hand so can't test the voltage to the rear ashtray light, however shorting the wire as said by brianmoooore doesn't turn on any lights? As for the washer pump - the +ve on the water pump is very low (light very dim when connected using a tester)...

I assumed one of the relays did as I could here a clicking from the fuse box location. The long black one seems fine....even with the plastic cover off it - no rust etc.

All sidelights working fine, im really beginning to think ive blown the bulbs.......

Hmmmm the cluster lights are also out - so maybe the short circuits blown a few bulbs in there - ill check fuse 23 again but last time i checked it was fine. A different problem im also having is the washer bottle motor isnt working....checked the connections - its getting its switched earth (from t...

Can someone help me out on this one..... I was swapping out my centre console pieces for another set when one connector on the Electric Windows disabling switch touched the bolt that comes up from the transmission tunnel - it sparked out and blew fuse 23 i think it was. The dashboard lights heater p...

Hmmmm so obviously someone previously decided not to put the brake pad sensors on? What about the wire to the left which is bare?

The car does have ABS.

Hello,

Ive had some wires tucked under the passenger side suspension strut - near the the top mount / fuse box - any help what these are for?

Cars a 325i convertible.

Cheers

The oil caps on fine. It just sounds like a fan belt noise but from the inside of the engine near the inlet manifold.

Ill check everything over in the morning though.

Thanks guys.

badassyas nice one for that!! Il have a look at the throttle body in the morning. One thing wierd is that the car will not start with the the fuel pedal slightly pressed - it needs a constant 'flick' of the throttle to get it started, but I assumed this is because of the 1 smoked injector ive got in...

It was very 'tappy' before so they must of been off adjustment - after setting them they went quiet but i got a whistle/whine noise in return?

Apologise for my ignorance but what is the co / butterfly flap?
