Any oil leaks? I had sump gasket leaking into the bell housing and contaminated the clutch.

Take the pump out of the tank there is a 1 way valve that is after the pump and connects to the hard line. Make sure you split the difference where it pushes on. You sound like your loosing pressure in certain conditions. I had this on a 325i it would only ever start on 2nd turn of the key. Also I'm...

AFM either not moving the flap easy enough or carbon track worn away.

Fitted 325 mild chip other day.
Happy with it. Still doing 1st economy trial but results looking favourable.
Also got great help in identifying the chip that came out of the ecu.

Thanks

Any m20b25 still knocking about. Could post you a standard one but may work out cheaper if you have one already made up due to postage from belfast. Currently trialling on one engine with possibility of 2 more if I like it. I am not sure I have any facelift throttle bodies, I have pre facelift I wi...

was going to do water pump timing belt sump gasket and the oil seals on the crank and gearbox along with clutch and flywheel since engine is sitting on the deck.

good to know they fit that way round.
Cheers

Can the post and pre facelift issue be solved by fitting the water pump that is car specific? Im considering 1989m20b25 into 1987m20b20 but dont really want to have to move the expansion tank to the other side. Gasket numbers are the same so not sure if there is any other issues. Guide is excellent ...

kind of on the same lines. my wipers stopped working on fri eve when thanfully i was only washing my windscreen and it wasnt raining. spent an hour on sat and managed to find the problem (wiper stalk) changed this and all working except for the washing function. need the correct stalk now all I can ...

thats not right. if they had any sense they wouldnt touch a mans pride and joy.

i think double barrel is the only job for scum like that.

if im down ill def give you a shout.

my powerflow was put on by the previous owner who knew the guy in the shop. so hopefully it will be fine. think e30 has went past boy racer status by now! takes a bit of effort to have an e30 mine is still doing around 28mpg and thats opening the taps whenever I get the chance. I do agree with the h...

I can be around that end of the country but it might be a few weeks. normally involves a run to the airport. any excuse to get the 325 out on the road!

will keep you in mind esp cause id love a look at an m50 in an e30 in person.

thanks for sticking up for my spoiler! original factory fit not touching that.

On the look out for set of 15" bbs if anyone would like to offer some for sale!

just spent a ball of money on getting the rear arches and quaters sorted so the mud flaps will stay for another while

that does explain the running its just not right at cruising speed and would explain some of the carbon on the plugs.

need to try to get my sensor back on but not shelling out £75 for new ht leads! was thinking cut the sensor and resolder in on the lead. I no heat on ht wont go well

Well I don't wont it chavey (havent managed to do the quote bit yet)! its all in how you drive it there is no point driving round town at 30 mph in 2nd. just dont be blipping the throttle round people for no reason! better for mpg if you are driving with manners until you get the chance to use it pr...

ok back to the magnetic pick up. this should just be a pulse sensor that works by the induction from the spark plug lead.

this is a continuous band of metal in a plastic case. is this a certain type of metal or is it magnetised?

any help always useful

when you scrap them going over big yumps its best to have them flexible!
but i still agree not that fussed on them but what are the options? suggestions welcome!

i have powerflow back box and centre section. initially i thought it was too loud on my 325 but when it gets into the high revs its so addictive.
just keep the window up and the radio up on the motoray!

it was on the car when i got it and it will not be coming off!

That brings me back to the problems with being in N. Ireland.

is it just the seat frames that would be different even if they came from a cab or touring?

thats something that i didnt know that there is a difference between the 4s and 6s.

not sure where the mud flaps came from. this was the pic that sold me the car.

think its just an mtech 1 kit.

how common are these seats. Im thinking it is very common.

has it gone 2 far for a retrim? I havent looked into the retrim yet. It has to be the entire seat though as all the material is badly worn

any thoughts?

Have changed the indicators to clear front and side not quite sure on them yet but will post it up again. Have put on the spare a 15" bbs original. liking it alot might look about the full set. it also looks alot higher in the pic than it actually is! Interior not as tidy though http://i376.photobuc...

Not the best pic and it has been in since for some touch up work. Will hopefully have a better pic when I get it washed

Does anyone know what the seat covering in the pic is? might help when im looking for my replacement.

And this is why im asking!

its also very nice lovely surface but found alot of cops/guards on it.
Best 1of the whole lot is the private road that runs across the top of the mountain at quinns windmills. Fermanagh cavan border.
It hosted its own 1day rally back in the day was the year before circuit of ire came back on i think!

im originally from fermanagh but currently up in the big smoke of belfast! Im currently only after a front seat for my ripped 1but dont have the time2go on the ferry r money2pay shipping. Will have2get a pic of it up so mayb can get a match. Will check out e30owners. Big road trip sounds mad some cl...

Think brian has it there very nice idea!

id go for the main live feed personally. however if no lights come on the scum might catch on to this. Although they generally arent that intelligent. Ive was working on a non-starting astra once and they tried to hotwire it even though they keys were in it and the bat was out!

Are there any other members from northern ireland. Every one else seem to be across the water. Looking for contacts and BMW breakers over here.

Its just better going to the dedicated guys as they know better what is going on.

cheers

I did this but this left me with the cylinder problems. have tried other plugs as i 1st though that 1 was faulty. just dont seem to be making the right condition when cap is off. just that the problem arose after i changed the plugs.

I initially changed the plugs as was just doing a service. When I put in the new plugs I could not put on the tops of the plugs the part that makes the connection. This then left me with a car that seemed underpower and had a hessitation around 2k revs esp when at 50mph in 5th. Decided to change lea...

So its only for diagnostics. And I can have my motor running sweet again!

Very fast reply. Was thinking it could be for ignition timing return for the ecu so it knows where it is and will keep it in check.
