E30 Zone

'I'm not a lurker but a passionate observer.' Iain would have found that amusing, but he'd know the meaning. Beaulieu, Santa pod and more. Funnily enough ten years after we'd last talked on e30zone I learnt one day that he had a problem with a package. it just so happened out of several hundred thou...

Liking the individual, sounds good!

I voted for one in the rain

voted! Some good entries here

Some people like the four pot and I've had a few miles in an IS and 318. It does *sound* a little more pokey as most high revving engines do. However you can always hear a straight 6 BMW engine from a street or two away, a fantastic whine to it regardless of capacity.

We had a massive security glitch possibly due to a site update and neither me nor Steve know how it happened. We are resolving this tonight, there will be a need for site downtime in the coming 72 hours and full and complete clarity along with the intentions of that development section will be poste...

I wouldn't recommend soldering it at all because if the thickness of that wire is larger as a result of solder then it may not blow soon enough. I just did it because I was confident just a little dab would be sufficient. Put a post up in the wanted section with the part number on yours, there doesn...

it will have a silver cap on yours. I used a soldering iron but then I was only testing to get it through an MOT. Put the rear demister on when jumping a car.

On a facelift isn't the ABS down near the abs pump area? I know the early ones were in the glovebox.

4 degrees warmer in the boot

Adi, I don't know whether Iain or Phil has told you but there was a reason for me not sending the DVD out, which is linked to me not being around here. Do you still want it, double disc etc. 'bum chums 4' I think it was. On your way if so.

(Senna Docu 2 disc)

There's a lot more where that came from including a rather tricky problem with the boot, but i'm not in a position to update this sec

but thanks, man

Update coming soon! Just prodding myself as much as anything :) Obviously removing a significant chunk around the turret, not shown in this pic. You can see some other rust removal in the background - and no back then I didn't have the spanner/cut down ring spanner for the brake slave. http://i655.p...

Very well done mate!!!!!!!!! Nice!

Where was this? Under the rear seat?

Francoise is thinking of the silicon near the top by scuttle vent.

Factory set but you can bet your bottom dollar some have been played with. I've certainly done it in the past with a spare AFM while looking into a kangarooing problem, but just as it was a spare not doing a lot.

Interesting thread, moved straight to photo gallery

We have a little to go on there, Jurgens. Could you describe what happens when the car stops working while driving?

Does it also take a while to start in the morning?

Someone kick us off with a photo. Imye30 will need to know where the engine is so you're helping both of us

(joking, Imy)

Links to original build threads too!

If you're talking about welding trans tunnel & bulkhead let's see a photo...

As you know a thread's just been locked that moved towards how quickly a business could swap an engine. Fair comment, but it's too much work to police that one today and I know you'll respect that. In time I will certainly push for that thread to be reopened and 'completed'. But lets give you someth...

Nah nah see we are going way off course. I have requested to have the thread closed I think that right now, today this is probably for the best. Just decide whether your going to stick another engine in or repair the current one and be done with it. The owner can take his car elsewhere if he so wish...

You guys are missing the point, this is a business with business rates. When the car leaves the shop it has to run 100% and reliable for x amount of time. For this reason some time will be spent finessing and ensuring all wires are properly secured and that performance is as expected. Not talking ab...

What's the drop on that?

Anyone know the answer to this chap's question?

Buy an engine to get you motoring again, get married and in a year or twos time sort the old one out.

hang on, so Adi someone asks you for ACS interior photos and the best you can come up with is a bird with big breasts and no knickers on.

moved to M50/M52 section

Try pac1982 on here for the stickers. Sorry it's been a while since I've seen the caps up close.

Come on, huish, pull your finger out. We want photos not two lines of text!

It's fine, relevant to the discussion

There is a guy called Age on this forum online at the mo so hopefully he can give us a bit of info too. Thanks Jozi and best of luck to this chap from Ireland.

Exactly that.^ Chap must have a build thread somewhere to take photos from.
