Top man!

he packaged my items perfectly and they arrived in a few days. his comms were excellent and he even chucked in a few extra bits i needed.

a great seller!

Thanks again James!

Ritchie

simply, are the connectors that plug onto the windscreen washer motors the same as the speed sensor connector on the diff?

i have a broken speedo connector and washer connector so need a couple.

thanks in advance!

like the wheels

i saw cooks original post round christmas and i just used it on some future service parts and other bits and pieces and saved a tidy £28!!

if you have an M20 engine be prepared for lots of filing and fiddling with the steering linkage to get the joints to miss the exhaust.

i was talking at work about this last night. they have just been expanded to 50 groups. this is to make it more accurate and because there are so many group 20 cars. if the car group has doubled it should stay the same price, apparently. http://www.parkers.co.uk/News/News/New-insurance-groups-explai...

you will be amazed at what a good detailer can do in a day for a few hundred quid!

ive used hids4u and i was happy with the service and product

well i bought the autosocks and i finally got a chance to use them today. this morning i decided to take a bit of a detour in the snow to have some 'fun' in a carpark but i spun round once then got stuck. no forwards. no backwards nothing! i fitted the auto socks which took about 2 miutes and they g...

my snow warrior! took these when i got home from a night shift this morning at 8. got the autosocks fitted, they are amazing! when i fitted them there were no issues with traction whatsoever! £67 well spent! http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc113/ritchie_perriam/325i/P1050961.jpg managed to get ba...

im sure you will be able to download extra cars at some point. games make a fortune with extra songs and things like that they would be missing a trick if they didnt

much better than the red and yellow little tikes car that everyone usually has. i would have loved one of those as a kid!

mine goes past the lowest mark on the guage then the light comes on. i kept chickening out and filling up way before it needed it!

Eibachs with E36 M Technic front bumpstops (shorter). They are rated at either 30 or 35mm, but that was against a new car, not a 20 year old one. ahh i need some of those bumpstops! i just fitted my new e30 bumpstops with lowered springs and found they were the same size as the damper shaft when th...

my e30 seems ok in the snow. better than my 07 diesel type-s civic i had the last few years. i think its due to having smaller higher profile tyres on the E30 (17"civic wheels vs 15" bbs). i got stuck outside my house in the civic so bad you could leave it in gear and get out the car with the wheels...

buy one new from bmw, they do a kit with special shouldered bolts as you have to drill out the old rivets. comes to around £30 with the bolts dont bother with second hand.

Looking good!

as suggested above, spend the money getting it to how it came out the factory befor modifying it. i would imagine you have some worn out bushes or drop links somewhere and it wouldnt surprise me if one or all of the dampers are buggered! mine were knacked! had some really odd characteristics but tha...

how did they fail?

i imagine they would be horrendous with brake fade, as most cheapies are!

i heard a rhumour that you get discount off parts at bmw with bmwcc membership. is that at all dealers or 'selected' dealers? i would be interested as you can get discounts ect. i did concider it recently but i was annoyed as a just spent quite a nice sum of cash at bmw and didnt see it before to ge...

you did a 1080 in a car.

now thats an achievement

also when looking at the car dont be afraid to ask to pull back some carpet to check behind for rust!

yeah wheel alignment sounds out for some reason. A number of things could have caused this, pot holes, hitting a curb, worn suspension parts, fitting a new part?

as kos said go to a mechanic/tyre place and get a wheel alignment check done!

You must have a different handbook to me! My handbook lists 20W-50 and 15W-50 as the most suitable oil for the range of temperatures experienced in the UK, and 5W-30 only suitable for temperatures below -5 degrees. yeah i seemed to imagne that? i was sure i read that in my handbook! but i just chec...

would fitting this or a zm one reduce axel tramp? i get it every now and again when booting it.

if you search on any proper oil website such as castrol or opie oils it lists the rating for the 325 m20 engine is 5W40 . it says this in the owners handbook too! i would buy 5W40 as this is what the engine is designed for, or maybe 5w30 if 5w40 isnt availiable for some reason, definatly do not use ...

if i was you i would buy a set of old ones and get them reconditioned by a company like injectortune at £10 each. then you will garentee the injectors have been serviced and flow matched properly instead of someone just running brake cleaner through it and calling them 'Reconditioned' you can get se...

ive had issues with clearance of my steering linkage. it catches the manifold at the lower UJ. ive done a lot of filing, made up the half e30/e36 linkage and no differance. in the end ive had to heat up the manifold and take a hammer to it and it still catches on occation. its really annoying as the...

it is literally drilling holes! remember measure twice!

get yourself some new plastic nuts and foam washers from the dealers then put a blob of silicone grease or similar on the holes before fitting just to stop any small water leaks

any tyre garage with a lazer alignment machine will do the trick.

apparently revotechnik claim the remap in my vw bora is undectable even volkswagen cannot prove its been mapped .....we'll see how this goes down in may come MOT time lol i have got to switch the map off though i had a 07 diesel civic with an undetectable map done by celtic tuning taking it from 13...

sounds like you have a leak in your boot!

i use the woking branch of ECP and have never had a problem. if they dont have it in stock they can usually get it to me within a couple of hours or the next morning at the latest! i tend to use the main guildford dealer for most things as i live less than 0.5 miles from them but when i have used ec...
