E30 Zone

In contrast to the ironically named E30 'comfort' leathers, that used to give me back/ball ache. The vadar leathers are incredibly comfortable, its like being hugged by a firm, sexy, stocky athlete (maybee a professional female wrestler)

I just sold them both and bought a 320d for the mpg.... kidding! :P I would love a go in an e30 M3, but the fact is i sold my touring to a guy in australia for 30% more than i paid for it and only invested £1500 to buy the M3 (they have never been cheaper) - just wished it looked as cool; I have the...

Oh no, dont go there!!!

Please understand that I never intended to come onto an E30 forum and say thast an E36 is better - it isnt, just different, I wanted to just share my first 6 months experiences. You are right, brake discs are circa £150 a pair for vented brembos but £250 for OEM BMW ones (floating discs) This is big...

All I would say is, just like the E30 (maybee more so) M3s vary a lot and I drove 5 before buying mine, the difference between them was incredible, all similar money, but the speed and handling of them all was so varied. The E30 is more nimble and chuckable - you can take big liberties with it, the ...

Hi Guys, Having left the fraternity 6 months ago, I bought the 321bhp, M3 Evo, manual. I thought I would let you know how it compares to an E30 325i touring interms of running costs. Fuel: 6 month running average, same driving E30: 24mpg M3: 27mpg (34 on a run!) Insurance: E30: £500 (28, full NCD, f...

Any help?

So I did a compression test on my misfiring 106 and found the following; Dry PSI / Wet PSI Cylinder 1 - 15/17 ”“ FAIL not the rings, must be a valve. whitish spark plug Cylinder 2 - 50/60 ”“ PASS -dead injector - black spark Cylinder 3 - 35/90 ”“ FAIL ”“ Rings, but I put too much oil in the cylinder...

cheers mate i will report back

yeah, i have posted the same question - had no response, this forum makes owning an E30 feasible, i dont know hope people get by without a decent forum behind their cars...

Bought Ecu, key, halo and little black box under dash off my mate for £40. what are these items?? halo!?!

Hello All, I have left the e30 fraternity after 2 years and one complete rebuild my e30 is off to australia with its next owner!! I wne t out and bought a cosmos black m3 evo and i love it! however, i cannot find a peugeot forum with half as much technical prowess as this forum, so, the 106 has some...

Great, thanks for all your help, I tested the circuit, the motors all worked perfectly. I reassembled everything behind the panel and now it randomly works perfectly - even better than before! I guess if it goes again, I will be replacing the CLCU, but for now, all is well!! Thanks again to daimler,...

Hi Brian, I didnt add any solder at all for that reason, just heated and reused the old solder, there was plenty on there. The unit wasn’t dripping wet, it was moist and it had a thick furry coating of the verde green patina on the circuit board typical of slow decay on electrical boards. Thanks for...

http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac311/unutterable83/E30Wiring.jpg what is this brown connector it is not connected what is the black box connector? I cannot find the male connector The CLCU did have water damage, i cleaned it up and resoldered the thermal fuse. Now I do not have any clicking fro...

OK, thanks.... patience, anyone got a 'how to' on that one?

update; the central locking control unit only 'clicks' when i lock the drivers door - but as i say the central locking funtionality is dead.
only clicking on the drivers door lock action - does that shed any light?

I will, thanks again. getting sick of my car man, its just one thing after another lately.

and if no locks work?

cheers for the help

if one went, would they all stop? - its weird how all locks no longer activate c/locking

my spray pattern went from water pistol to fine mist spray pattern - nice.

i have sent a pm to you TPS>

The central locking system uses air right? or is it a solenoid? either way can I check the motor is getting 12v?

Thanks, but it doesnt apply as i can hear the relay operating... it says to jump to point 15 which is corroded pins in the door connector, which i assume i have bypassed with the red/black mod.

I removed my fuel rail, removed my injectors, pushed on a 5cc syringe, pressurised it with carb cleaner, hooked the injector up to 12 volts and blasted the cleaner through each injector - result; single best fix i have done, slow kangerooing at low speed when cold is gone, ticking from injectors tha...

OK, I have completed the red/black mod. :-x No better. History; I had a bad fuel leak from perished rubber fuel hoses in the engine bay Once parked up i left the glove box open accidentally prior to fixing it. When i went to disconnect the battery to renew the hoses (i depressurised the system by re...

Amazing, thank you Dailerman

Hi Daimler, just a simple guide to follow... my C/l has packed in

I have searched, i have waded, but to no avail, anyone got any links to the original how to guide?

To those dying to post 'just cut the red and black wire' that's not helpful, but thanks.

Cheers,

Could I have prices for the above

as a bulk purchase and also just for the bush and the non return valves (the three way connectors used in the wiper system). cheers

delivered to cardiff please for an 88 e30 325i touring.

Does not have to be genuine BMW

Wow, talk about complicating a simple piece of advice... still I will let you know how I get on, I am going to put my car up on a shaking frame tomorrow as i swear i can hear a loose bush somewhere (not the fun type). The only poly bush i bought was for the LSD and its buggered, really badesign, so ...

195s on a 325? I run 205s, I guess unless you are a pro driver you wont miss the extra grip?

too expensive for me i am afraid, EBC mintex ~ £60 front, ferrodos ~£110. thanks though.

his really is a can of worms, I have atrackday coming up but use my car everyday. Is it to be mintex, or reds. For my purpose can i get away with just upgrading the front pads? Anyone on here do deals on pads? I know a group on the mintex is currently underway... just wondering what is the best pric...

also, brake pads, I have new oem pads fitted, can i get away with only fitting expensive ebc pads at the front and leaving the back oem? thanks.

My car is 60/40 as mentioned, it is low, mistake really looking back. i fitted an RPM sump guard which is pretty solid to be fair. I am considering these in addition; http://www.springassisters.co.uk/menu.htm they stiffen up the suspension and lift the car about 10mm. probablyt better of just replac...
