tomorrow

Because it establishes that the fuel pump works ..there are no blockages and as the fuse is ok that only leaves the relay that could be at fault ...or can you think of anything else

right ....hot wired the fuel pump and ran it for a few seconds then tried to start the engine which turned over nicely then died ..so it seems to me to be the fuel pump relay as the fuse is ok ...which one is it and has anyone got any idea of the number ...I think it might be the middle one under th...

Will try that ..be on it tomorrow morning

It would be if I could get it started

had the electrics (and the immobilizer) checked so I took off the fuel line to the fpr and it was dry and nothing when I cranked it over so I will start again from the fuel pump and check for blockages

let you know

thanks all

would that stop it getting fuel?

Started fine on Saturday afternoon ..drove to the shops half a mile away and it refused to start...turned over fine... and when the recovery man sprayed quick start in the manifold and it fired (briefly) So today tried a new fuel pump ...no joy had the auto electrician out to check the immobilisers ...

Alcantara in my cabby ...no problems

They have been going for a good few years and I have not heard anything untoward about them

errr!!! didnt read wot I rote properly

hear you are

a few of us on here have used them

here's a how to http://www.shareaproject.com/pages/projectTut,p,217,00.html a roof on its own should be £300 without fitting and fitted £550 + seems about right .....but if you are doing the roof check to see if the tensioner straps are ok as its the only time you can replace them..also its a good t...

not very much if the covers are in a poor state...its the carriage that costs. they are usually repairable

why not do the job properly...go into the wiki link that daimlerman posted open the link in there...its a step by step guide... and dismantle the seat totally and reassemble...it isn't hard

yes ... famous at last.....I looked at my copy and said..."i know him.... doesn't he have a Fiat Cinquecento....."

good hoods .they are nice people to deal with..ring them up and ask them who their nearest agent is ..might be cheaper to go to him...

when mine came off i asked the local windscreen man to do it for me with their adhesive...its been on for the last 5 years and it cost me a drink

thats part 12...if you raise the window it pivots upwards!!

me i just watched it...here you are episode 1 series 2 ..its fun:D

got eibachs on mine as well and the ride is great but when you do change renew the "Additional dampers" They will be just like tissues after 20 years and when I replaced mine it transformed the handling

part #5

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=51&fg=20

part 12 on the above is the only one I can think of that has a "little floppy bit" and runs that way....with the window open ...a pic would help

Yes I have used RealOEM I think it is these 12 GASKET LEFT 1 51361922167 $54.02 12 GASKET RIGHT 1 51361922168 $54.02 but it shows them as being part of the front door I am looking for this e30 cabrio outer Quarter Glass seal. I would like confirmation from anyone who has changed these that I have t...

my best guess is that it finds the oil level and shows the measurement somewhere

part 12 for the side seals ...and the others are on here as well if you go back one

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=51&fg=20

not tried a dishwasher but have used degreaser /brake cleaner on the outside and thick bleach on the inside...with a long brush on a wire

24mpg round town and about 34mpg on a long run....325 cab

download the full workshop manual (^ links )..it has a full section on Hydro roofs in that

One would have thought so but not according to real oem cross referencing part no 31331131330

I had this about 6 weeks ago...kept totally cutting out when on the move ..ticked over ok..it would catch again and go for a bit then do it again ..tried everything ..in the end I suspected dirty fuel...filled her up again and it went away never to return..

I might have some more for you next year

Looks like it from OEM ..the arb is 20mm against 21 though

The first place to look are the switches ..always worth a service http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/index.php/Window_switch than adjust the glass so it is straight and lubricate the rubber seals with silicone oil which softens as well as lubricates them after you have checked the mechanism itself.....
