hi guys,

my rear drive shafts just keep breaking !?! is there any other solution other than the z3M route?? what are you other turbo guys running on your cars??

firstly this car was working fine before the snow came (its been parked on my drive) but now there is no power to the locks or ignition. The weird thing is sometimes the central locking works then the ignition turns on but when you try to start it just cuts the power again. There is approx 13v at bo...

did you reinforce the rear turrets? the wheels im running are 9x17 et20,

guys, i was thinking about buying some Gaz coilovers and have the option of going for a true rear coilover option at the rear. I've done some reading on this subject and a lot of people are saying that there is no benefit from running them and a lot of strengthening is required on the rear shock tur...

I love the 7, you have a very nice collection

the low pressure/level oil light on the dash, the little oil can thing,

my oil light seems to remain on (but very dim) when the car is off? any ideas? also i parked the car for a while and now the fog lights are stuck on and the stereo make a horrible high pitched noise once turned on so i had to remove it, the funny thing is there was nothing wrong with the car before ...

well spot'd, they are style 32's from e39 5series

in my instance the rockers were free to rotate, once rotated the oil delivery holes are exposed, i then put a screw driver in the hole and turn'd in left'right movement with a forward force and to my luck they came out smoothly. You could also put a allen key in the hole and knock it lightly forward...

^ cheers gov, all sorted now a real PITA it was and a good few hours of labour, also i wont be doing it again in a hurry!?!. I've done it before with the engine out too, but with it in the rocker shafts and cam has to come out the kidney grill lol, but was well worth it as my noisy cam is long gone!!

can the m20 camshaft be replaced whilst the head is still on the engine and in the car?

thanks

No worries, I do a 250mile round trip to the highlands on fast A roads once a week and the turning left thing saw me on the wrong side of the road on occasions looking at oncoming traffic - bit brown trousers! Swapping engine mounts is a doddle. loosen all nuts top and bottom, trolly jack and a big...

^ cheers fella was thinking that, will get them changed and update this,

i've just convert my 87 325i cab e30 to a e36 m3 evo rack and i am experiencing a problem, at speed lets say 20mph+ and a left turn the rack moves smoothly then gets stuck?!? and you have to push it more to turn more left?!?, it also doesnt self centre whilst this happens but turning right and at lo...

are you running 205's on them

is anyone running 9j wheels at the front, got any pics?

all sorted now turned out to be a dodgy relay, with regards to the brown/blue wire in the boot i'm not sure either as in my case opening the boot does not activate the windows, i will investigate my mates facelift wiring to confirm what is going on. In the boot there deffo is a brown/blue wire hooke...

good info Brian, but i thought the brown/blue in the boot would activate the windows too like in my mates facelift, i havent had a chance to investigate this yet but thumbs up! as u've been a major help so far,

thanks

thanks Brian, will check this 2moro, my car is a SA import and also has the brown/blue wire in the boot and on the passenger side door switch,

in my pre-facelift cab the windows are not activated when the doors are opened. The interior light turns on when the doors are opened but thats it, why i ask is on my mates facelift cab they turn on and are also activated when the boot is opened, i have checked the wiring behind the door switch (dri...

if it's blowing cold air then change the orange relay that should fix it !

where is the relay located? behind the seat?

thanks

also the blower wont work if the micro switch on the roof is not connected,

my e30 cab rear window blower is not blowing out heat, just cold air is this normal?

thanks theo, very useful info,
