E30 Zone

Hi Everyone. I haven't been here for quite some time as I purchased a mtek 2 bodykit to be fitted to my pre facelift convertible. That was about 3 -4 years ago :-( My mechanic has now just realised that the seals I have, may of come off a hardtop model, therefore he is having problems with a gap at ...

Fogs for my cabby arrived as described, complete with screws,relay and switch.

Cheers Ferg. You're a proper Zoner.

No doubt we'll be doing business again.

Im after a set of shocks for a 1988, pre facelift cabby.

Rav.

Thanks very much for the Mtech 2 kit.
Everything is in condition as described and I cant wait to get it onto the cabby.
Thanks for the fitting advice.

PS. Your cabby looks awesome uner the bonnet

That is one SEXY Cabby.

Enuff respect.

How did you get that rocker cover so clean?

You do know that the brake light indicator will come on whenever you start up the car? This is because it's the only function on the check control panel that needs human intervention (ie pressing the brake pedal) to prove the circuit. I usually turn on the ignition and dab the brakes immediately. T...

My brake light indicator on my service panel, come on although the brake lights are working?

It seems to do it after driving the car for a little while.

Any clues??

Sorry MrLEE30.

Thanks also. And for my other post re: the Squeaking shocks.

Brianmoooore. As per usual, you are SPOT ON. I've done exactly what you said and Hey presto...Everything is working again. I can see on the green and white wire, where the shorting has occured...Now back to the mechanic for an explanation. The wire seems to be caught under the 10mm brass screw holdi...

MrLee.

This would make sense as I have recently had the gear linkage worked on. (I was having problems selecting reverse).
Do you think it is possible that the mechanic may have caught the wire somehow?

I've removed the rubber grommet from under the horseshoe and the o/s/r shock absorber moves a lot more that the n/s/r.

Does that indicate a faulty top mount? as the taping of the horseshoe catch didn't make a great deal of difference.

What I have noticed, is on replacing the fuse, I turned the key to the ignition without starting the car. There is smoke coming out from the fuse box and a burning wire smell.

I must admit. The rattle seems a lot less when the roof is off. It still rattles but not as noisy.

Also it does rattle almost constantly and not just when going over bumps. I'll try the tape thing and see how it goes, but my mechanic said he thinks its the top mounts on the shocks.

The 7.5 amp fuse in holder no10 is indeed blown and when replaced, blows straight away. This has only just started to happen. Where do I look first for the fault? The 30 amp fuse in holder no20 is still intact, but the blower still does not work. I've already replaced the fan speed resistor once, an...

I've just been driving along enjoying the sun when suddenly i've lost my rev counter,fuel gauge,temp gauge,service lights and fan blower. The speedo still works and all the other electrics seem fine.

What can be the problem?

Its a manual roof.

Someone had a look at it and said it may be a worn shock absorber top...or something like that.

Does that sound right?

My cabby rattles along when i'm driving.
It seems to be coming from the rear driver side (rhd).

Anyone know what it could be?

Same thing I thought.
Only problem is that it has been done already, so i'm wondering if to take it to a welders and see if they can remove the liquid metal and re-do it with a tig weld.

Cheers MrLee30.

The wheel has already been filled with liquid metal, and its in a bit of a blob.
How do I file it down as to put a tyre on the wheel? I'll only be using it as a spare.

One of my alloys has a crack on the inner rim. I was told that I can put some liquid metal on it and file/sand it down to stop the tyre losing air. Is this a recommended method or is there any other way to repair the wheel. Its an azev, and I'm having difficulty in finding a replacement. Any suggest...

Superb set of wheels and tyres,as described for a bargain price.

Superb.

Cheers Adit.

Another satisfied customer.

Try a new resistor first and foremost. Easy enough to replace and fairly cheap too. Its probably located near the bulkhead, access via passenger side footwell. Failing that, possibly a new switch, although you can test the switch by removing it and using a multimeter across all the pins to see if yo...

I,ve got one of these in my van, and you can attach an ipod or your phone and play music through it...Not a bad piece of kit.

All done.

Got a nice black one from Euro car parts £37 incl VAT. Fitted and working a treat.

Cheers for the knowledge fellas.

I,m having the same problem, but only when I indicate right.

How much is it for a stalk??

If it's not going up/down properly and you can hear the motor running when you switch the car on (get a friend to help), I've used some penetrating fluid and given the aerial a helping hand to go up and down and that's solved the issue. If that doesn't work, remove the aerial and open it up (screws...

Cheers jbh.

Gonna get one tomorrow.

cool, thats what I like to hear.

How easy/hard is it to remove an old electric aeriel and replace it with another?

Looks good.

Just need the bloody headrests.

My seats have no rear headrests, but looking at the back of the rear backrest, it looks as though you can add rear headrests. Can anyone advise me on how to do so? Is there anything I need to secure the headrests? Maybe some clamps or inserts or something? If so where can I get them? Sooooo many que...

The seats are A1 mate..Well Pleased.
