I think they are £100+ new, BMW will want more than that of course.

Hi, Ive done this job and its not hard to do but remember its petrol your playing with so no smoking. LOL :D and dont do it in the garage as the fumes do build up so out in the open air is best. There are different types of pumps (fuel returns) so you may need to have a look at it before you order i...

I had the same thing with my clutch, there was no fluid loss at all but the longer I kept my foot on the clutch the worse it got, so I changed the master/slave cylinders and all was well again.

Did the ICV do the trick?

Hi Firefly2005, I changed the blue sensor, rubber intake boot and cleaned out the ICV about 3 times but it still ran badly, so in the end i found a 318i in a breakers yard and had the ICV off that for Ã‚£10, this did the trick and it ran like a dream after that. So the old ICV was as clean as a whis...

I sold my 318i a few months ago and im already missing it! ok it was under powered and unrefined and a bit tired but it was fun and it was reliable. I find myself watching out for e30s all the time when im driving, at the moment i drive a e34 525i which is in good condition etc so im not exactly slu...

Cars now running again, i got yet another pump (three all told) and this one almost fits the housing, but it comes with a extra lenth of fuel hose and clips to modify it to fit. The fuel outlet on the new pump is about 20mm shorter than the original pump and the hose is to bridge the gap.

If there are two types of housing then can i not just order the other type with the return on the pump housing? this seems a lot less hassel than changing a tank.

BMW 318i e30 1990 (H reg) M40 I have a in tank fuel pump (under the rear seat) that has sucked its last, and i am having trouble getting a new one. I can get a very good discount from a friend so i have to buy it through him, the first pump that came was a external pump so that went back and i gave ...

Dont you just love broadband

, oh well back to the 318i

Red looks great after lots of arm work with the polish n wax but it will soon fade again in this hot sun, mine lasts about six weeks on average and then you can see it starting to go.

Not me either, im in egham, surrey.

Hi, at the moment i have a 318i which is not blisteringly quick i will admit but i may have a chance of a 320i auto 2-door with 84,000 miles on the clock, so will it be much better than the 318i or will the auto rob it of any power advantage, and apart from it being six cylinders should i just wait ...

I was 42 this year and im on my 2nd e30, the first was a 325i sport (mk2) and the one i have now is a 318i, as you can see i am working my way backwards with desirability.

Ive had my 318i for just over a year now and its been very cheep to buy/run, i get my parts from GSF and some from my main dealer, its very easy to do an oil and plugs change your self so saving Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£ on labour, oh and dont forget the breakers yard it seems like most things are about a Ã‚£5-Ã...

Only old golf wheels! i was hopeing that they might be worth more than the car, mind you they probably still are.

Oops and one more.

Some pics of my odd alloys

Ok, will try to post some pics. (dont hold your breath as i have no pc and will have to do it at work when no ones looking)

Vauxhalls irmscher!!!, ok perhaps ill have a look on the vauxhalls boys forum and see what i can get for them-LOL

Ok so they are looking like a good deal but will i be able to get some centre caps to fit and does any one know how much they might be?
oh and its looking like my old wheels are off a Cavalier SRi!!
thanks.

The three pin tool is missing so i use a pair of long nose pliers jammed into two of the holes, bit of a bodge but it works. I took off one centre caps and stamped inside are the letters 'ACT' and some numbers, so not BMW but maybe Cavalier sri then. Well the wheels are looking a bit scabby so an up...

I have a set of 14" x-spoke alloys, all the centre caps i have seen on other cars are push on or screw on, but mine have a bolt that goes through the cap and into the wheel, the bolt has three holes that are used to tighten them up, are these original?

Went to my local breakers today and they had 4 x 14"bmw x-spoke alloy wheels, (no centre caps) with my choice of brand name tyres on them for Ã‚£100, they were in very good condition but is this too much?

i have at last fixed my listing drivers seat with a doner back rest from the scrapy so no more back ache. the contaminated rear drum brakes have been replaced and now work great. cleaned the icv, tb and af meter for the 3rd time and this time it did the trick and it now idles ok and the best bit is ...

MY 318i also takes ages to warm up in this weather, i changed the stat and that made no difference. So i cut a strip of clear acitate (plastic) to go from head light to head light, (the same hight as the head light) and held it on with clear cable ties, and now i get hot air from the heater in about...

Yes, great shot of a 4 car line up on the front cover.

Got my new copy of TotalBMW it the post today, lots of e30 stuff in it, IE: 2.7 conversions, 325i ralley car, m42 engine aticle and a orange e30 pick up truck type thing , also a zone credit, great stuff!!!

go buy it.

You are both right, i undid the nut under the ash tray and this releases a section of the console but to get the tape holder out i had to squeez the side of it, there are two lugs on each side, but there is no bottom to it so now i can see the carpet underneath so there must be a tray type insert to...

When i did mine the trim came away easy but the bolts that hold the cylinder to the pedal are a bit hard to get at and this took the most time for me, its worth doing as the clutch feels great after, good luck.

Thanks, how did i miss that

ill give it a go in the morning.

How do i remove my cassette holder in the centre consul?
i cant see any screws or clips and i dont want to force it, its a waste of space and i wont rid of it.

can any one help?

thanks.

Where can you find the blue temp sensor on the M40 engine? If you stand on the passenger side of the engine bay the plug is right under the inlet manifold screwd into the engine. Its very hard to get at, i took off the big rubber hose from the AFM to the TB for better access, also there is a black ...

318i M40
Just out of interest how can i test the blue temp sensor, i read some where that you can do it with a test meter (did a search but cant find it). I have just changed this sensor but it still dies at idle until it warms up

thanks
