E30 Zone

I've done the red/black relay fix in the past and it seems sound. I'll try and take another look at the relay at the weekend but the connections all seem sound - as do all of the fuses.

Thanks daimlerman but been through this and it doesn't seem to be a relay problem or connection problem in the doors. I've also checked the fuses. The vehicle still locks using the drivers door so it's clearly working in some fashion.

THanks - been through the wiki and either I'm blind or it's not there

Hi all Minor (I hope) problem with central locking on my 1988 e30 325i. Locking from drivers side fine, everything locks. Locking from boot or passenger door and it pops up again within seconds. Wont stay locked. Any ideas? I'm sure I've seen this problem posted before but can't remember the fix. He...

Can anyone recommend a good alloy wheel refurber near Norwich? I did consider getting another set of fleabay, but there's no damage to mine - just in need of a lick of paint.

Red is fine - not faded at all and most of the paintwork looks original BMW judging from the stone chips! Will try and post a few pics tomorrow whilst writing out the add

Don't mean to sound down but it's a dreary decision - I love driving it....

I find myself in a desperate position where I must sell my beloved e30 convertible :-( Would appreciate any advice on what it might be worth since prices seem to have hit rock bottom and started to dig. So I'll give a brief description and welcome any advice.... 1987 E reg 325i in Zinnobar red (sorr...

Pass the bucket - I'm going to chuck! What are these people thinking?

There are leisure vehicles. And utility vehicles. Some should never be combined!

Hi PG325 - I share your issues with the flat spot problem. Been going on for months and tried almost everything known (too much to list). If you come up with a solution I'd be interested.

Don't want to depress anyone but I'm paying £168 on classic insurance for my cabby (they're group 17 by the way)! But I am 40 on Tuesday so I guess that's why...

Difficult one as I've had so much help from many - willnz, town325i, MrLee - but I think I'd have to go with Brianmoore

Interesting one scottidog - I replaced the TPS as there was a flat spot between idle at 800rpm and 1500rpm but it's still there. The TPS checks out at closed, WOT and inbetween and gives correct continuity readings using an ohmmeter. I did change the throttle body also as someone had stuck a 320i th...

thanks speedtouch but keeping it standard so no chip here! Blue temp sensor checks out 300k hot, 2.5 cold (or the other way around - can't remember). AFM also switched out with known working one - so back to HT leads even though it seems unlikely

Air filter changed only a few thou miles ago. I checked the resistance of the HT leads and their all between 5.5k and 6k/ohms, except the short one from the coil? This reads 2k. Someone said it's meant to read around 1.2k but I ordered a know good one from a zoner and this also reads 2.1k/ohms. Fuel...

Cheers e301988325i - been there and done that though. And switched it out for a new one too! Hence I thought HT leads?

Get to 3500rpm or above and it livens up. The revs seems to climb quickly enough but the car just isn't pulling as I would expect until high revs when it flies. Engine is 325i - injectors recently cleaned and plugs changed not long ago. Not a single air leak - been tested with that air spray stuff. ...

Thanks all for the help - you're great. d6dph - did you get the number, could really use it. BMW specialists are hard to come by in Norfolk

Thanks DaveD but I meant a couple of straps

um mmm. I think my tension straps are probably fooked. I take it they're meant to have some tension to push the hood back into the frame when folding it down? You have to push mine manually. Where's the best place to source a couple?

Cheers Alan - I did look at hothoods originally but was a little concerned with their 'cash only' approach and wasn't too sure what the quality of the hood would be like. BAS has been recommended to me by several people - but I just don't have time to fit it hence the need for a good roofer!

Can anyone help suggesting a good hood fitter in Norwich or Norfolk? I want to order one of these: http://www.car-hood.co.uk/content.php?nID=2&cID=22&pID=110 But I have no time to fit it. There are two locals I know of who could fit it - one will charge £200 and I have no idea of the quality of his ...

I've never used them (so this may not be much help) but have been strongly recomended C & S Bodycare http://www.candsbodycare.co.uk/

Checked dizzy and rotor arm?

IMHO yes

I would challenge any standard E30 to reach 140mph,

Mine's powered by crystolafusion imploders and will do this in reverse

doesn't anyone think £60 is a little steep for a tensioner?

i must be a muppet but couldn't find it on GSF either

couldn't find it on eurocarparts and realoem are also quoting silly money

I concur. Part 10 is the piece I had to order for the lower part of my cabby wheel arch surround. Beware the diagram is in reverse! Part 10 fits opposite side to the headlights...

I've decided to sort the cambelt (and timing which I suspect is out) on my 88 cabby (325i). So a list of parts I intend to buy: alternator belt 11 51 1 706 710 power steering belt 32 42 1 706 825 water pump 11 51 9 070 759 £88 exchange water pump gasket 11 51 1 722 677 timing belt 11 31 1 713 361 £3...

cheers daimlerman - sound advice it seems. Any idea where I could source the tensioner straps at reasonable cost and would I likely need them? I'm not sure what their supposed to do.

...and there the interest dried up!

HI Fowler - I'm in Norwich, Norfolk. But would be happy to travel ...
