Engine has a good earth? You can check continuity between the engine and negative battery terminal.

Are the convertible Tech 1 skirts different from the 2 door saloon/coupe?

Ok, nice one! I know it sounds stoopid but I couldn't make any sense of it! Cheers mate!

Ok, so what's the crack with these. They list 19, 22 and 24mm diameter bushes. My ARB, which I measured, is 20mm. Reading the wiki thingy the sizes are 18, 20 and 21mm(for the cab)?!? Has anyone bought these and what size did you buy / is your ARB? Any help would be greatley appriciated, cos this ma...

Hey, I'd like one of these kits, if possible? How much posted to kent? I got a '88 325i btw. At the moment my car is rackless! Ta

But a totally bust one wouldn't allow the car to start, right? As it isn't sending any signal rather than sending a weakening signal.

OK. Looks like thats the problem then! I tried all the various different pin combinations, I think! Do you know if it matters which is positive and negative on the multi meter? Would i just get a minus figure? I traced the route the lead takes, as what you descibed is what had happend to the old one...

Hello again. The plot thickens as i have tested to see if I'm getting spark and I'm not. Also, I tested the resistance of the crank position / speed sensor and I could not get a reading. I tired all combinations of the pins and got the car sparky at work to confirm I had the multi meter set right. A...

Ok. I will try that but it should be good as, again, I have very recently replaced this part. I'll double check (did have a quick glance at it today to see) it hasn't moved but I know its connected as i checked that!

Right, I just tried a few of the suggestions mentioned and have found that I do have 12v at the green wire to the coil (with the ignition on) and I'm pretty sure that its not the relay as i swapped in the horn relay with no effect. Also I bridged out the fuel pump relay from underneath and tried to ...

Thanks for the tip! I will try it but both the fuel pump relay and that white (ecu?) relay are pretty much new. Both o.e. BMW though. Going to tow the car home this afternoon and try these things. Cheers for the tips! Ben

Haven't tested so can't say for sure but thnik so as it ran fine before it just died. Should all be ok as replaced plugs, leads, rotor arm and position/speed sensor not long ago (2 months ar very most). Also had coil tested and it was ok and checked dzzy cap and all ok!

Forgot to mention, I cheked the fuse and had the auto sparky at my work test the relay (which is nearly new) amd all ok!?!

Hello friendly e30 owners! I am new so all help is appreciated. First off i've got a 88 325is with the m20b25 which runs motronic management. I have had the car bout 3 months, most of which it hasn't worked! However, recently it has been working a treat and i've been loving it. My problem is that it...
