E30 Zone

Oil pressure is ok and level is ok and just been serviced and has fsh but unsure when belt was last done may get it checked out just in case - cheers

Got a 325i that upon starting and driving hard (not thrashing it) there is a clattery sound, sounds like a tensioner on the chain or the chain rattling against something could it be anything else? but when you have driven it a few hundred metres it has gone and you don,t hear it anymore!

I,ve got the same prob just on the drivers side dunno about you guys but I,ll shut the door and it will pop 5 mins later when the roof flicks over the window , the first couple of times i wondered what the hell it was!

Atleast I can fix it now!!

I had this problem and it was the boot opening slightly everytime I went over a bump because of the M3 spoiler it would not allow it to open yet the boot locked ok with a key - never did find out why it was like that just sprayed a bit of wd40 and it resolved itself!

Go to a place that repairs/installs windscreens and ask them to sell you an adhesive pad for an E30 thats what I did think it cost me a whopping quid

I,ve used german e-bay and its been fine but as the previous post says helps if you can speak german if not a translator may help

Shit sorry to see that mate

I,ve just fitted a Scorpian exhaust on my 325 from the downpipes onwards.Personally I think it sounds ok just a little louder than the standard system but boot it and you can hear the difference but wouldn,t put it in the chav leauge of noisy exhausts lol

I spent 5 years driving around in a MK2 Astra GTE, gradually doing more and more to it. It proved that FWD cars can go round corners. However, I wouldn't want to go back to a FWD hatch now after driving a 320 for a few weeks. . I had a 16v astra gte that had a blue print race engine pumping out abo...

I had the Mk1 gti and the Mk2 16v and the Mk1 won hands down and IMO the E30 325 is far better than the Mk2 golf 16v sorry to all those that own the mk2 16v but it will never be in the same leauge as a 325 - however the mk1 ????

I have a standard BMW alarm and what you have is not a OE alarm

Thanks mate

My door cards are white/cream colour and some of the black has started coming through anyone got any idea where I could get these re-done or get a pray to return these back to a new condition there not really bad just being picky!

Thanks for all your help so far right this is what I bought http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4547097669&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 He says it is a mtec 1 and fowler if your right that means it should fit? but it doesn,t so where am I going wrong lol :roll: :cry: :mad:

Well its a no go the mtec will not fit so back to the bloody drawing board

anyone got any ideas what would fit?

Geeman, that looks ok think thats what I,ll opt for

Sorry, I have only fitted the front so far, the rest of the kit is standard. I have tried to offer up my rear valence to the back of the car and it definately will need some cutting. I can't do that at the moment, as the missus is too peaved with me for just trying to keep it running/ :lol: lol rig...

And that worked ok?

Tell him you have wrote it off or the engine blew so the car is no longer available for sale as e-bay states the car should be sold in the condition it was advertised if the engine had blown or you wrote it off you would be breaking the rules of the contract and selling him a car in a condition that...

Zayyan I just have the rear valance i wanted to keep the bumpers I have just add the rear valance to tidy the rear end up a bit as it looks weird with side skirts and no rear valance maybe its gonna be a weekend of fitting?

cant help you on the fitting part. but I think the car is a old skool metal bumper by the looks of it. :wink: I agree with that, so as far as i know both style bumpers will fit it!? Ive never done it myself but this picture shows a Mk1 with Mtec 2 if your rear lights are the same youve got a Mk1 so...

Ok F**k it looks like I bought a Mk1 instead of the mk2 rear skirt just re-read the ad and it says will fit the chrome bumper models

Just bought an Mtec 2 rear skirt and the bugger wont fit (after taking the bumper off lol) The car is 1989 cabriolet no chrome on the bumper at all and has the black trim This is the car as advertised on e-bay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4529305529 Can anyone tell me what re...

Bilyboy, they are great for the front 2 as there is no wind at all at big speeds too, only problem is that the original converts it to a 2 seater. http://photos.fotango.com/p/eba00431163f00000010.jpg You can also get individual wind deflectors made by 'Kamei' which clamp to the rear of the headrest...

Peejay.

Are the wind deflectors any good? Just can,t imagine it looking right on an e30 on the 2 seaters it looks ok - anyone got a picture of one fitted?

How long am I looking at to get this completed do you reckon? If I gave myself a full day is that good?

In 321 it is basically a manual box requiring you to change the gears and it would,nt hurt to use it like this all the time but you have a auto so why not sit back and admire the scenery (summers coming

) and let the car do its own thing!
