Re: m52 swap parts

think ill probably do the wiring myself depending on price, and probably will stick with the ews,

how much is fair for the parts of the e36 though?

Re: not starting all of a sudden

Yea the is, I'll check the chain, but I can't figure out how it would snap, as o said was working fine then the next day nothing, the engine is definitely turning over just seems like it's turning over very quickly... so I don't think Its the starter,

not starting all of a sudden

Moved it last night up the drive everything perfect, went to start it this evening and it is just turning over very quickly... almost like there isn't any compression, it's a bit dark but i had a quick look and the plugs are all in place.

Any ideas?

It's a bit of a weird one

power steering noise

I have went through 3 power steering pumps now in just over a year, each of them have a gradual decline, before sounding like a angle grinder.

The only thing I'm thinking is I am using the wrong fluid, red std oil.

Or can damage be caused by a belt being too tight?
