Corsa steering linkage
I've just fitted a purple tag rack and have issues with steering linkage clearance. I've read about the corsa linkage and was wondering how you go apart separating the e30 uj as per what's on the wiki. I'm having no joy getting it apart and wondered if anyone had any pictures or suggestions. Cheers

I've tried 2 new gaskets from bmw and still it leaks when washed, and comes in on the corner of the gasket. How tight should the retaining bolts be, just wondered if I'm doing them up to tight. O...

So I've got it all together but it appears to have some electrical gremlins and need some advice. Both the motors have been stripped down, tested and everything greased up before re- fitting. However now it has the following issues. Sometimes the system will work as expected, other times it will pla...

Ecu mounting?
Hi guys, has anyone got a picture of the ecu on its mounting bracket??
I have the bracket but have no way of securing the ecu to it, im guessing there may be a second bracket that clips to the module that then bolts to the main bracket but cant find any pictures to confirm this.
Can anyone help out?

Unless you regularly park with the sunroof open, I fail to see how a sunroof drain can ever get blocked. You can run something like TV coaxial cable or BenHar's strimmer line up through them, but I fear the word 'rust' will eventually figure in this thread. Exactly how my sunroof issues started out...
