DO IT
( i've got a brand new set looking for a good home )

Hi Fal , just got your text ,i'll try and sort this week for you,sorry for the delay .How goes the car ?

after selling my 320/325 which i deeply regret ( don't laugh please ) i'm now driving a Rover 75 tourer in which will be the closest i'll get to a BMW for a while ( Diesel engine so not all bad ) ,suprising not a bad car at all but absolutely no comparision to my old e30 ,still got my convertible wh...

sorry i can't think of anything worse than driving 7 miles in any car let alone an M3, cars' need to be driven and 7 miles would mean that the engine won't be runnin g at it's optimum temprature creating condensation which won't really burn off

ibeleieve a volvo 340 has the same wiper motors fitted and which are more reliable because they are better protected from the elements

thats cheap , considering it's a trader

Same problem with mine , somedays on tick over the car rocks from side to side , thanks for the above suggestions , its also not as rapid as before the tappets were readjusted ( no power surge at approx 3,000 revs)

Sold Matt a set of se side skirts, money on the dot no problems
Sold Ben wild zone chip , no problems , both good zoners as it should be Cheers Keith

thats what you call enterprise

out of interest, where is the engine number?

Daniel , the one you're referring to is will be quite diffrcult to retro fit unless the wiring loom has been fitted and its just then a matter of plug and play .Maybe someone else can give you better advice

euro car parts is another good outlet

This is how the zone should work , send the bumper on trust without waiting for the cheque to clear, kept me informed of progress , can't fault the man .Thanks again

sold a set of wheels to Nick , no problem ,no haggling

Cheers Keith

hello Mike , new members always welcome , this you will find is a very useful site with people willing to share views & ideas so hopefully you'll enjoy your stay
Cheers Keith

try a paint supplier to the trade , local ones around by me supply spray paint , they do the mixing as long as you give the paint code .Larger cans than halfolds

i've owned a few 320s and compared to a 325 they're gutless , but i've never head any issues with overheating /headgasket failures , nice smooth engine but low on economy but as Brian indicated looked after & it will serve you well for a few more miles yet. Upgrade the throttle body to a 325 and tha...

The radiator looks well unprotected

Nope, deffo for the mats

i stand corrected , i've actually just removed them from an SE , i thought they were build into the carpet

sorry to have to tell you that PIP is 57 (see page 2)and i am even older!!!

i'm quite willing to hand the torch over believe me

Sorry i think i have the dubious honour so far as being the oldest at 49 and on my 10th e30 ( one day i'll have one that doesn't need work ,but then do they exist ? ) at present i''m driving the money pit 325 and have waiting to be attacked with money a D reg 325 convertible

a, i think you'll find are the clips which hold the covers which sit behind the h/lamps in the engine bay

I once filled up a Ford Excective (showing my age now ) to the brim, drove home from Tidworth to Swansea with a lot of back firing and smoke but no damage done just huge embarassment, kept topping up with petrol to try to dilute the diesel

That does look in good condition , still a few of them about which is good to see

Hannah, the skirts are as fitted to SE models , they are nice and give a subtle finish to the car. (set for sale see keith52 post )

Cheers nice guy, travelled as he said he would , no quibbles Cheers Keith

No one i could find supplied a pattern wing , the difference is the length of the sill as convertibles have deeper sills for strengthening purposes, a few people add a length of steel to a saloon wing which will work but dependant on your welding skills determines the type of finish you achieve

There was a nice one for sale a couple of weeks ago in Swansea Ã‚£2,800.3 owners FSH all work carried out for mot etc .Koolong user name

IMO stay clear of it doesn't sound like its worth Ã‚£500 even broken if your mate has 3500 to spend there's still a few good ones out there. you can spend a extraodinary amount of money on getting the shell right as nearly all work is labour intensive and thats before you look at the mechanics ,get ...

Thanks Brian

apologies if this posted / covered elsewhere but has anyone replaced the steering joint coupling on a power steering rack with it still in situ ,any tips please

just ordered some now , how much preparation work do you need to apply it, same as if it was going to be painted ?
Cheers Keith

The reason that they rust is that there is a large amount of seam sealer applied which runs down the pillar and finishes just before the scuttle vent , moisture gets trapped there and it just becomes a rust trap If it's blistering on the outside it probably far worse inside.

lots of 325's rallying

Cheers Simon

Whats the going rate for a new panel ? Cheers Keith
