it almost seems to be with engine revs its hard to distinguish where its coming from, as it goes away when not under load or the clutch is down, but then the engine is also slowing down i think the clonk when taking it out of second gear is returning which i believe could be the new rubber joint fro...

good point

i'll lube it up one bit at a time and see if/when i stops

Is there a bush at the top of the steering column that can cause it to squeek when turning the wheel? or is it more likely somehow the cowling has started rubbing?

recently my car has developed a low drone / humming noise

its coming somewhere from the drivetrain

what is it likely to be? i've not long fitted the engine with new prop centre bearing, prop rubber joint, clutch etc

been waiting to see a proper pic of an e30 on banded steels, look forward to when i can afford to sort my car out

coz i know someone called twigstah, he's a member on my forum, it might be just a problem in communication

dont know if its the same person

but they dont have the sensor that is on one of the leads

how much did you pay for this?

i cant find the correct leads for my car, let alone at a reasonable price

last leads i got were the right type with the sensor on it, but had the wrong distributor plugs

aww, i was hoping this was me

not seen the red one about

theres a mint silver mtec1 going about with an old guy driving it

i wish

i dont have the money, i need to do this as cheap as possible

i might just check the connections at the back of the clocks

its just wet and cold out, and the area i live in is a joke with roadworks and temporary traffic lights

yeah, fired up on the button

i have the same thing on my car its 3 lights together in a row

battery, oil and another one

its happened before and after my engine swap using different alternators, different looms and different ecu's

Smashed it :( the abs on these is pretty crap just slid into the back of someone need: o/s front wing front valance complete front grill o/s headlight wiper front bumper o/s front indicator lense hopefully havent damaged anything else although the o/s headlight has been pushed back about an inch at ...

yeah, but i dont understand when the plug is bridged, disconnected etc

and would it not be better to re-position the tps once the throttle stop has been adjusted?

could you give me any more info on this? thanks

but surely slackening off the idle screw defeats the object of turning it up?

i dont get it, do i adjust the throttle stop with the tps connected or with all 3 still shorted?

in terms of shorting all 3 together, is this done initially with engine running/off/ignition on?

forgot to mention, when the revs are bouncing at low speeds/idle the mpg gauge is going mental

i sprayed all the hose joins with carb cleaner and nothing changed the idle i checked the tps - no click turned the idle screw back and i think i was able to hear a click at the very bottom - but - when i took it out for a drive everytime you dropped the clutch, the revs dropped too low and the car ...

yh they do, the lead just plugs into changer port and gives option to use the ipod, but you wont be able to stick the ipod in glovebox as you will have to control the music from the ipod :( only later alpine models give the option to control the ipod from the headunit but... the issue is the ai-net...

i spoke to alpine before, they now do a lead which converts the cd changer input to a single jack i think

yeah, thats a new hose too, doesn't appear to be leaking

icv is buzzing away

the idle may have been adjusted, but then is there aver a perfect position for the butterfly to be in before i start playing with the tps?

the blue temp sensor is new the oil beather from the rocker cover is new the rubber bung on the bottom is there will check the icv tomorrow the tps clean, i presume you mean remove, and dismatle it? as for the positioning, i've never really heard an audible click on either engine as i open the throt...

yeah m20b25

done a good few miles

seems to be worse in cold weather, but that may just be coincidence

at least i know its not meant to be completely water-tight

after jet-washing the car the other day to remove some of the moss from before i bought it i got back into the car to find a wet seat and centre console

Recently, maybe since the engine was fitted/rebuilt most of the time when i start the car up initially, the revs bounce up and down between about 500 and 1k rpm when the car is under a tiny amount of load with the throttle just on, the car will kangaroo, it will also do this when i try and use the e...
