take it that no ones got a clue then well back to the drawering board lol.

its the tachometer i've traced the wire all the way back to the ecu and according to the wiring diagram its pin 21 and thats wot i have got don't forget its got an early type ecu? How does the ecu get the engine speed though through a crank sensor or somewhere else?

hi guys was just wondering if anyone knows where the signal for the rev counter is picked up from got a fault where my speedo is not working i have been told it recieves its signal from the crank sensor but these were replaced not long ago when it had a different fault which turned out to be an ecu ...

i'll have a look 2mo as i don't lock it so wouldn't know.

tried 2 ics now and still no joy.

hi all i've got a c reg more door chromie m20 b25 and my rev counter has stopped working i've changed the ic with no luck any ideas where it gets its feed from and has anyone had this in the past. cheeers

hi ever since i canged the engine on my 1990 320i se for a m20 b25 from a m sport my battery dies over the course of a few days. if i charge the battery it will last a week then one morning i'll come out and nothing. i use the car every day it only takes 10 mins to get to work so its very short jour...

both cars h reg one was a sport one was a 320 i se. how do you mean i connected up wrong?

hi guys i've had this problem for a while now. no matter wot speed i put the heater on it does not even attempt to work. it stopped working when i changed the engine from an m20b20 to an m20b25 initially i thought it was because i changed engine looms but i have since changed them back with still no...

was replaced with the engine its the m20 b25 its really bugging me.

i have changed everything engine side of things even the engine and it will only start when cold it takes a good 4 or 5 attempts to get it started once its warm. anyone got any ideas as its driving me mad.

just wondered if it was something common before i have a look 2mo.

cuts out when its upluged and it just stays at 2000rpm

timing fine runs fine till 2000 rpm then no power idles fine and runs sweet up to 2000 then nothing i did the cambelt 6 months ago and its been fine since then. engine was only out for a week so i can't see that its anything major.

i thought it could be but its not been on there long so would of thought it would still be good and why would it only just go when engine removed and put back in.

just restored my e30 325i msport since putting the engine back in it is almost like hitting the limiter at 2000rpm and wont go anymore and throws a flame out the exhaust and pops through the air filter. anyone got any ideas. was running fine before engine was removed.

I've got a sierra cosworth engine kickin around and 3 e30's outside was just wondering if its been done and how much hassle its gonna be?

Not difficult mate just remove 6 6mm hex bolts out of each drive shaft. Remove 4 nuts off propshaft then 4 bolts on top of diff. Then last long bolt on the mount. don't forget to unplug the sensor. Weighs a ton tho so don't drop it should take you about an hour.

nuts tight but still same prob gonna do batteries at the weekend.

wot are SI batteries

just reading through old threads is there a nut on the back of the gauge that needs tightening.

i know where most are in plymouth. a white cab in devonport opposite dockyard. one outside kevin coopers in town with foreign plate. one calypso red on road 2 torpoint and 2 on my drive

is there ever any meets in the southwest area

normally visit torquay once a month never see any e30's. you ever come near plymouth.

There's a fair few around plymouth just wondered if there where any zoners

i,m interested. when is the money needed.

filled the car up last night all was fine. drove to work this morning and noticed gauge was reading empty. when i stop at junction's it moves like crazy almost with the engine rpm. there is still a full tank in tho.

they are both 1990 h reg e30's. engine loom on 325 sport went up in smoke.

iv got a 325 m sport that needs a new loom i have a 320 touring loom spare just wondering if it will fit. cheers

ideal got a doner car anyway. someone said i would have to change steering rack for some reason.

Just wondering if it is a straight forward swap.

lookin at gettin a front strut brace does anybody know ov anywere to buy one also can you get rear 1s. cheers

does anybody know were i could get a sump guard from.

i did think ov this but i like the way it looks it gives it an aggressive stance. thought about making a plate to cover it but not too sure if it would work

hi all i recently bought a 320i se its got an m-tec kit scorpion exhaust and has been lowered 60-mm. anyway i took it out for the first time since buying it and in the first half hour i managed to rip the sump off is this a regular thing or just me. i now cannot find a replacement sump. is there any...
