I find the non switchable auto box in my M40 very responsive, makes driving in traffic much more bearable

As said above, i doesn't hurt to change the fluid now and again.

Ah... that would explain it!

Cheers Brian!

I seem to be having a problem with the top of the three sliders which opens the windscreen vent, it will only slide halfway across and wont budge anymore,

The heaters are working fine in the footwell etc but i can't get any air at all blowing at the windscreen, has anyone else had this problem?

Also if its running rich it could be the Blue Temp sender, worth replacing as a part of a good service.

Does anyone have an answer to this? any help would be appreciated

Could one of the mods please move this to the Technical help section please?

I might get more of a responce there

Cheers

For a 1988 318i Auto, thanks

I'm trying to get hold of the above for my 4 speed box on my 88 M40, i spoke to GSF and they have said the part is number B12500 on there website which is for a 4 speed auto 7 series.

After replacing all fuel lines on my 1.8 M40 i get 30mpg pretty much all the time, although mine is an Auto.

Can i have a price on the above please for some bottle top alloys

Cheers

Bought some bottle top alloys off asmith88.

Great comms and wheels were exactly as described, would be happy to buy off him again

Nope, full instructions in the haynes manual, you bleed it by disconnecting the filler tube, take the bottom off and theres a filter inside that needs changing

Autobox is smooth at the mo, but i never trust the things

Yep, definatly a rolling project, it's my only car. Has 130000 on the clock at the moment, but i cover a fair bit of mileage so thats going to go up quickly. Gonna service the slush box on it next as i need to keep everything reliable, i don't think it's been done in a long time by the looks of thin...

The lip on both rear wheel arches has rust, but not too bad, there is also some rust on the rear valence. I will be replacing one of the rear arches as it is dented, I've patched up the valence with kurust, P38 and some paint. I will give the whole underneath a coat of hammerite & waxoyl before the ...

ROFL!

Might do that actually!

Trust me, you haven't seen the condition of the seats lol, the drivers seat looks like it's been in a fight with a cheese grater!

The covers came with the car, soon as i have the £££ new seats are going in

Finally got round to taking some pics, picked this up for £200 with a full years mot. Have had to do quite a bit of work on it though inc camshaft and all the rest that seems to go on the M40s. http://theuboatsociety.co.uk/midgard/car/front.jpg http://theuboatsociety.co.uk/midgard/car/back.jpg http:...

GSF have a Fuchs brand semi syth 10/40 for less than £15 for 5 litres, thats what i've stuck in mine

Ok thanks guys, might give them a try, need to get back up to scratch with my welding first though

Has anyone used the above? they are selling replacement panels for E30s at pretty reasonable prices, would like to know if they are legit before ordering a rear wheel arch.

Cheers

Excellent, just bought some goodyear high pressure tubing from halfords at £4 a metre 8mm was perfect thanks.

Might as well replace the lot now i've started

Thanks for the link above, i've managed to get the part number which is 16121180399, but i need to know the pipe size so that i can get a quick replacement from halfords to last the weekend

Does anyone have this info?

Hopefully someone can help me I have been trying to find the reason that my M40 has been doing about 20mpg! :? on closer inspection i have a bad leak coming from the fuel hose that feeds into the bottom of the fuel filter from the fuel pipe under the car, all over hoses seem fine.
