E30 Zone

Pretty much what everyone has above. I've currently got one and its got:- - Auto Dim rear view mirror - Electric rear pop out windows (Probably an option that can be had on all E36's) - Map reading lights near rear view mirror (Not sure if this is only on sport models) - Black headlining - Full digi...

Hi Wayne, No i still havent actually got around to doing anything with it yet! Been too busy with work etc! Will try and have a look at it this week though. Let me know if you manage to sort yours though. Best of luck Nick I'm hot on the case at the mo, to date have done the following:- - Checked a...

Nick, did you end up sorting this problem? The reason I ask is that my e30 sport has just started doing the exact same thing. Car accelerates fine but when cruising between 2k-2.5k revs the engine seems to judder causing the car to kangaroo. So far i've replaced the rocker gasket and have checked al...

Well after a few months of trying to diagnose the problem it ended up being the passenger side rear wheel bearing. Bought the part on a hunch that it might of been that, took it to my mechanic and sure enough it was just that. Bit strange though as when checking the mentioned wheel there was no play...

Just had a thought, when I was checking the wheels for play earlier, I was able to rotate the jacked up wheel while the opposite wheel was still on the road. This shouldn't b possible with an LSD right....? I guess with what I said, I can probably presume that the LSD is buggered, and an oil change...

I suppose it may be worth chucking in a cheap open/diff as a temporary measure to see if this sorts the problem out, and then buying an LSD when one shows up.

does the noise get louder or quieter when cornering? a worn bearing will often drone louder when it's loaded up, although sometimes they quieten under load which can make choosing which one has gone a bit tricky. recently had a noisy front bearing on the other halfs golf, we were both convinced it ...

Thanks Hoshy, I've bin meaning to check the LSD oil, I'm hoping that this may help the issue If I get some of that Castrol SAF-XJ stuff.

Many thanks for the pointers chaps. I'll check the movement of the wheels tonight. Bit strange though cos the car passed the MOT a month ago and there was no advisory on the bearings, so hoping it isn't them as it sounds like a pig of a job to do, and would rather change the diff should it be at fau...

Hi guys, Was just wondering if there is anyone out there who would be able to assist in an issue I have with my E30. At present there is a loud hum/droaning noise coming from the rear when going above 40MPH. Its transmission related and its still there even when I let the car run in neutral at speed...

My fog light failed - turned out it was the switch. As a quick fix to get it through the MOT I swapped the switch to the one for the front fogs as these aren't needed for MOT :). I had to cut a little plastic lug off to turn the switch around though :mad: Exactly what i did winkeye , my front ones ...

Might be worth checking the fuel pressure on the system, I had the same prob with mine in that it would start on the button when cold but when warm would take a longtime to start. Found on mine that the pump wasn't holding pressure when turned off. Just an idea

Had this problem on my e30, turned out to be the rubber ring seal that sits between the fuel pump and the surface of the fuel tank where the pump clips down, under the rear seat bench.

escort rs turbos are shit....end of LOL!!! :teehee: I kind of agree with this. Don't get me wrong, back in the day they did seem like nice motors but you only have to put the RST side by side with an E30 and you can notice the difference in build quality a mile off, hence the reliabilty issue with ...

Again thanks for the comments guys. Just to answer a few questions:- - The red leather interior was with the car when I bought it, but as mentioned wasn't factory issued with it as its got the horrible grey carpets. - The tyres are 195/50/15 which are slighlty undersized but thats because I didn't w...

Many thanks for the comments guys. Was thinking about what options I'd have for the carpet as it seems to be a horrible shade of grey. Think I'll pop down to Harrods and get some turkish rugs put in lol :chuckle: Just had the wheels fitted the other day as it had some 17's on there b4, I must admit ...

Hi guys, As I've never posted pics of my E30 I thought now would be a good time as I just gave her a wash. Let me know what you think. :D http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/wstephenson1978/DSC_0230.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/wstephenson1978/DSC_0228e.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/...

LOL!!!! Just removed my wiper out this morning and well wasn't expecting the following:- http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/wstephenson1978/17022009547.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/wstephenson1978/17022009548.jpg After a bit of scrubbing and a dremel:- http://i70.photobucket.com/albu...

Thanks Brian. But would the extra flow rate from the walbro pump put extra strain on the regulator and later cause it to fail? Really want to install the Walbro as i'm getting hacked off with the ECP pump seizing on me.

I had this problem with mine last year. But the problem only happened when the engine was warm. Would start on the button when cold but when warm would take several seconds to catch. I basically bought a cheap pressure gauge plumbed it in inline just after the fuel pump under the rear seat. After do...

Interesting, I'm gonna check this out for myself now. I wonder what the state of my motor is gonna be like. Very annoying problem

The Reason your motor stops on single swipe is its not getting a constant 12v supply during a full cycle because of the bad contact on this plate. Cool, that makes perfect sense, I'll whip it out tomorrow and clean it up :D Cheers all... This problem is baffling me as it goes. I don't understand ho...

Hi Guys, Just a quick querey regarding the the above. I've bin considering fitting one of these as my current fuel pump bought from ECP only a few months ago is already failing as its seizing up every other day now :x . I know some guys here have fitted the Walbro pumps but was wondering if the stan...

Thats one greedy 316

. I get approx 125miles on my 325i. Perhaps it would be worth getting the ignition timing etc checked and the mentioned fuel leak checks. Does your car consume a lot of oil?

The TPS is the Throttle position sensor, this is connected directly underneath the shaft that the accelerator cable is attached to on the throttle housing, its the little black box which has a 3 pin connector plug on it. This tells the ECU the approx position of the throttle so it can adjust fueling...

Could be TPS or ISV perhaps.

If you manage to get a pressure gauge, you can eliminate a lot of things of your check list through the process of elimination, as you'll be able to test if you have a fuel leak in the system, a pump fault, injector fault, fuel regulator fault. Def a good tool to have.

Sound like a fueling issue perhaps. Might be worth checking the fuel pressure from the fuel pump. I had exactly this problem, car would start fine in cold or 1st thing in the morning, but once warm would take a hell of a longtime to start. I bought a pressure gauge and plumbed it inline after the fu...

Could possibly be the following: * Alternator regulator pack brushes worn * Faulty alternator phase diodes (or capacitors, I think) * Bad ground between alternator and mounting Had this problem with mine as the charge voltage across the battery was only around 11 - 12.5v. My issue turned out to be a...

sure thing mate.

Just wired them up last night and they sound spot on, punchy and good stereo imaging. Had them hooked up to my Phoenix gold amp, really chuffed at the results.
