E30 Zone

Yeah that will be it,was a bit sarcastic and angry cos me motors not selling and was called a mooron for not knowing what to price it at.

Why is my thread not showing in the for sale section anymore??

Yes i agree with a lot of this thread,mine doesnt seem to have any interest at all.Its been on the drive for about 3 weeks and on the zone,and i have had no interest what so ever,or any feed back from you fellow zoners.If it is over priced or i am not explaining it very well,let me know please peopl...

Mine is screwed to the back of the rear seats,just under the load cover,hidden,and don't get banged when loading..Just remember its there when you fold the seats down and load stuff in!

I put 20 english in my 318 tourer and got 98 miles.I cant be bothered to work it out,but i dont think thats very good! I think it needs a service.

Cheers,he sold me an icv last month,i'll give him a ring.

A bit off the topic,do you work as a mechanic then sumpcracker? where in mk are you based,can you service my motor?

My 1989 318i tourer has done 111k and after reading this thread i think thats great.Smithysmith,let me know if you find any good E30 specialists near Oxford,it would be good to know,the nearest one i could find is just off the old A40 near high wycombe.I can't remember the name and i havn't been the...

I would like to start coming to some of these meets if they are close to my land,but you havn't said where it is,or is that the plan,only the selected few are allowed?? This seems to be the case with alot of threads in the "meets and events" section,how do you get to find out about them and where th...

Don't be so deffensive kev,it's only a bit of banter.If your gonna do your beemer up like an Ali G ride,replace the traditional badge with a badge that says 'gangster', then post it on an enthusiasts website,your opening yourself up for a ribbing.Welcome to the Zone anyway.

Do you have the windows down in the freezing cold with the bass pumping to the max!!
Good to see another E30 is in loving hands and not on the scrap heap tho.I'm all up for individuality,but maybe a bit ott.Maybe you should have put Kevin and perry on the sun visor and drove it to ibiza!!!

If you wanna pm me your number, i will give you a call, arrange that 5mins maybe? I will buy 1 and do it back home when it's cold.Hopefully it will solve it.
Cheers

My daughter use to live at Denton close in botley and now lives in cumnor so i'm out your way every other week. As for the start this morning,the car starts fine,just revs at 2000rpm even though i adjusted the butterfly.When it's warm it ticks over at 900rpm.Are you very mechanicaly minded? maybe i ...

Thanks all,done what willinz said this afternoon and it seems to have done the trick,will see what it's like in the morning when it's really cold.
Kman82 where abouts in Oxford you from? ,there's only a few of us from round ear!!

Thanks willinz,i did have a little play with the throttle stop when i was trying to solve the bad idle issues i had,so i will try what you've explained and see if that's it.
I did think about the choke bobbin,but should it rev 1000rpm higher??

Ok, what was thought to be a knackered torque converter on my 318i '89'Auto turned out not to be,with thanks to spadge who sold me another icv.Gave it a clean and stuck it on and it solved all my grumbles,but now the car revs upto 2000rpm when starting from cold.Once upto temp the revs are good.Coul...

Cheers spadge,speedy service,good price,and seems to have fixed the problem.

That looks like it sihooker cheers,gonna check it out tomorrow.Now what i need is a breakdown of where everything is. As for the haynes manual stubeedoo,i remember the old mans legs hanging out from under his cortina every saturday,with the haynes manual covered in oil next to him.I can't break his ...

Good idea!!! ,bit dark now but i will get onto it.Better pick the leaves out if i'm gonna show it to the world!!

Has anyone got any pictures of an '89' 318i auto engine please? i just want to check what my engine is.Been told by you zoners that it should be an M40,but going by the trusty old haynes manual,nothing seems to match up.I think it's the original engine as i bought it from an old man who deffinatly w...

Yes men,the girls look nice,but so could susan Boyle with a bottle tan and some airbrushing!! Wheres the real hotties,lets see some real girls, not the showcase bimbo's. Silver touring hottie wins hands down,even with clothes on,she's o natural!!!!!!

Thanks mate,i'm looking elsewhere now anyway,ordered another icv off a zoner,see if that helps?

Chatted to another machanic today who said it is not the tc because when i dissconnect the icv everything is fine , although the revs do pick up but put it in drive and it just sits there ready to go with not pushing or stalling.I'm gonna get another icv and take it from there.

Cheers,it's not lazy at all,goes purfect and pulls up through evrey gear.And nothing wrong with reverse. i,ve cleaned the icv,checked all the hoses and replaced the throtttle inlet rubber cos that had a split in.Look elswhere you think?

Oh she's pushing,.I think a baby's gonna pop out the exhaust!! Spot on mate.BrianMoooore,where are you??

Mine runs perfect and i've no oil leeks,tickovers a bit rough but it stays afloat at about 550rpm,the only problem is when i stop in traffic or at lights and leave it in drive,it just keeps pushing,nearly stalls and the mpg needle is having a fit!! i have to put it in (n) when approaching stopping,i...

Evening all.Has anyone had any torque coverter problems on their auto box,what were you symptoms? i have had 3 non zoners say my symptoms are the tc, but i have also had much appreciated advice on the zone saying different.(see my 'bloody idle and icv problems' thread for my symptoms) I just wanna m...

Yeh thats another option cheers.Just put a post on the wanted section and i can get a second hand one for 15 nicker deliverd to my door.Might just get it anyway.

Cheers mate i will,how will i know if a second hand one is in good working order?

Good evening all. I have a 318i Auto and have the old faithful rough idle problems ,also when i'm in drive sat at a stand still,the car just wants to go,the rear end bounces up and down like it's doin pressups! and so do the revs,and mpg needle is also swinging backwards and forwards from 50 to 0. W...

Cant believe what i'm reading,what's with slating Lewis Hamilton.That's the problem with british sport,too many people like to slag off our home grown talent and just feed them to the paps .Maybe if all our sportsmen had Hamiltons hard working ethics,drive and will to win,we might start picking up m...

Hello Bushwakka. I've just been reading this thread and have the exact problem as you explained in your first message. I've just brought a new throttle inlet rubber cos mines splitt but i've yet to fit,hopefully it will solve it? Did you rectify yours and without being too technical,cos i'm not,what...

Cheers.
I think i might take the spray them black advice to try and camouflage them!!!!!

Yeh nice one mate.Pm me when your back and i'll pop over,sounds like you know your shnizzle so will be good to meet up ,got a few bits i need to sort on mine,some tips will be good.
