Common cause is the wires from the sender on the back of the diff going brittle.

Ben

All the best, Paul.

Have you got a link to the auction?

Ben

I think that's how it works i's been ten years since I did it and my memory is not exact.

Ben

It can be replaced with two O-rings.

1x O-ring 30x2,5mm
1x O-ring 15x2mm
4x screw M3x30 od. M3x28
4x (stop) nut M3

Ben

Number 8 here?

That's a two door saloon, not a coupe.

Engine conversion looks tidy.

Ben

Try looking through the wiki.
There is a lot of information in there.

Ben

Hopefully this was sorted sometime in the last 15 years.

The pipe from the head goes to the bottom heater pipe.

Lidl do a cheap version (about £15) which does the job, too.

And here for Motronic 1.0: https://www.e30zone.net/e30wiki/index.p ... tronic_1.0

Ben

Does it only do it in slow moving traffic?

If so replace the thermal fan.

Ben

Welcome.

Manual or auto?

Ben

Also check for intake air leaks.

Ben

If you search on here there are a few posts about this.

Ben

Great work, Alex.

Ben

Intake air leaks.

Ben

Do the struts still hold the boot up?

Ben

Not required. Was there for the carbon canister set up in the USA.

Nice work on the engine bay and clocks! They certainly look like speaker cables...

They are cables for the tweeters, but the crossovers won't be present unless tweeters were specified when it was built.

First hit on ecosia.

Ben

The clutch friction plate will only spin when the pedal it pressed down.

Ben

Great stuff.

Some of the pictures aren't showing for me

Ben

Top marks to your old man for his help.

Don't think you could have done it on your own!

Looks great.

Ben

Seems OK to me.

Thanks Carl. I thought the ones you had were for a sedan? The convertible ones are slightly smaller I think?

Front and rear headrests in the cabriolet are the same.

Ben

Also seen them in the hole in the bonnet insulation.

Ben

Presumably Jetronic injection?

Check here: https://www.e30zone.net/e30wiki/index.p ... e=Jetronic

Especially the slidevalve.

Ben

600 rpm tick over seems a bit low?

750 might be better.

Ben

Try searching the wiki.

https://www.e30zone.net/e30wiki/index.p ... Tachometer may help.

Looks like a great exhaust shop you're linking me to there, that's exactly the kind of place that could sort it out for me. Hoping for more local if I go that route though.

This is the franchise: https://www.powerflowexhausts.co.uk
