Thanks for the info guys, its done 106k, 700 miles in the last 9 years since I've had it (yes that is 700!!!)
I'll get the clutch checked out, interesting comment re the slave cylinder

Hi, my Alpina 2.5 engages gear perfectly with no clutch slip whatsoever, but while in gear and driving has just started slipping for no reason As mentioned, I can change gear and the clutch engages perfectly and only slips while I'm putting my foot down Any idea what it could be??? Thanks in advance...

A while ago I know, but for those that were interested, I've only just found this thread, its my car, I've had it 9 years in August this year, its not for sale now or in the near future. The M Tech kit is original, I have the Sytner paperwork that goes with it which shows the complete build spec fro...

No worries Gert :) Pukar, yes mate, loved the Storm, had it a couple of years and pretty much re built the running gear as it was a mare, then promptly sold it straight on , so didnt get to play with it really. I used to have a 16v Rado back in the day which I adored and I actually felt was better b...

pukar, yes mate quite correct, the exhaust is a bit low, awaiting a new hanger from BMW. Not sure of whether its small or not though, seems about right to me but coz its low it may not fit right .. not really sure ... lol

Gert_8 .. No, its not mate, I think the one you're referring to is mentioned at the bottom in the thread below by funnybear who from what I've read owns the Oxford one. Mines not been in Oxford in the last 6 years as its been stuck indoors :) http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewt...

Thanks Will, the key turns the lock fine to both the horizontal and vertical axis. However, the button doesn't do anything I'll try the steps you've said, but I thought that if the key turned, there's no reason that the button wont unlock it but its all new to me, so I may be totally off topic What ...

Can you still get new tool kits then??

Beautiful, M Tec 1's are my favourite sports

Back up, can anyone help, I've tried something else today but still no joy
Don't really want to break a rear light if I can avoid it

cheers pukar, I do feel privileged to own them. Still amazes me how many of the public are totally ignorant when it comes to Alpinas, I always gets lots of nice comments about the B3S but very few ever know anything about them .. updating the exhaust???? maxfield .. cheers, just found this http://e3...

I really like this one

I bought it off a guy called Damian who I think bought it off Chris, its been in my barn while I've been up to my eyes for the last few years. Now Im getting the little bits sorted on it so I can get it out next Summer. 6 years 220 miles .. lol That Corrado is my old Storm that I did a load of resto...

The E30 C2 2.5 Ive had 6 years and is currently getting a couple of minor issues to do with central locking and outside temp display sorted.
The E92 B3S was my early 50th pressie to myself which I got in May this year

Can anyone help with this please, getting desperate

I've read about this on lots of posts before but I can't get to the bottom of my issue Ive got a cabby which deadlocked itself. We have manged to free up all the locks bar the boot (think the deadlocked fried the motor) Can hear the motor locking in boot but not unlocking when we do the 12v onto blu...

Cant imagine every lock seizing at the same time, that would be incredibly co-incidental, so Im guessing it has to be electrical, not mechanical. The question is what, as Ive done all the tests that are mentioned in a lot of the threads here

Back up, anyone please ??

Thanks, had a good search hence carrying out the red/black mod and investing in another ECU just in case. But I cant find anything like this issue. I managed to get it going beforehand by changing the ECU and applying the black/red mod but then aftre using it the passenger door failed then the whole...

Back up, anyone out there can help??

Nope, none of the locks work at all, cant open the boot or the drivers door, only managed to open the passenger door by doing the turn key and waggle door handle trick
I'd be quite happy just to open the doors at the moment, as I just want to use it a bit while we still have some summer

Right, read everything I can on here and Im still nonplussed as to why my central locking is not working. I had a few issues so did the red/black mod and changed the CL ECU and still no working CL. The car is dead locked, Ive managed to get the passenger door open using the key in lock and jiggle th...

The blue and brown wires that feed into the connector on teh brake duct of my outside temp sender have broken at the actual connector. Does anyone know if you buy the connectors with some cable attached so I can re join htem back into the main loom?? Or can you buy the connectors to join onto bare w...

Anyone got a clue on how to fix, picked up my Alpina tonight and the front driver belt doesnt retract properly, minor issue on a damn fine car, but would be nice to get it sorted
Oh yeah,

What a car

Being looking at Mk 1 and 2 Escorts, as I've always liked them, and they formed part of my youth. But, I fail to understand why a Mk 2 escort that is nothing more than a bare shell in many situations is worth a stupid amount more than an E30 Surely, the E30 is built better, handles as well?? Not sur...

Thanks, appreciate it. I shall order one

BTTT, surely somneone out there has a hardtop who stores it in the summer???? pleaassseeeee

If not, anyone know where you can get a decent one??

Cheers

First time for me at that show, but I've been to others before with the BMW Car Club. Personally, not knowing anyone, I wouldn't have realised you guys were there. I only worked it out because I recognised a couple of cars from the forum.I also belong to a fishing forum and they always get t shirts ...
