Yeah mate, where did you get them? Do they come with centre caps in the price?
Lovely car bdw

sorry, its a 1989 318i. does that help. Are you saying the fault oculd be because of a faulty battery dash light? Thanks

The battery light doesn't come on whatsoever when I turn the key, what's the significance of this?

Well here's the story, alternator was restored there, and put back on the car and a different battery put in the car. Pretty much the same thing is happening as when I first restored alternator and battery. Jump it off another car, car starts running again, drive it a very short distance, and you kn...

Excellent thread, best restoration thread I have ever read. Would love to do this to my e30 someday but I can't see it happening lol. Can't wait for updates.

Just really loved the look of them since about six or seven years ago, really wanted one for aobut the last 4 years and finally got one last month! Small bits and pieces to touch up and work at but sure that's what makes life interesting!

Battery to registration plate light (after checking polarity)? Sorry, i'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean to connect another battery to where the bulb goes on my back registration light? I take it this will power up the cars' electrics again? Will any size of battery do or does it have to...

Hi, ive been having a few problems with my alternator and battery over the past week, the car wouldn't start unless jumped and i took it to an auto electrics and they said my alternator was only charging the battery sometimes. Anyway,I have an aftermarket alarm fitted and it has a seperate fob to op...

very nice, i admire all the winter prep you are doing to your car, wouldn't mind doing the same to my own!

ok thanks all!!! some very useful replys

Polsta, I said i checked under the car and I seen no rust, I haven't checked under the carpet for rust! I haven't had the carpet up because i've been busy and also I had an overheating issue which is now solved, and the car's altenator is wonky whih resulted in having to leave the car in asda's car ...

i was told it was, aw well doesn't make a HUGE amount of differene to me, would be nice if the seller had of told thr truth tho. Still haven't received the v5 so had to go by word.

I am currently looking for a set! Although i am biding my time as money is low lol.

here is a picture of the floor, and the hole under the bonnet, i am definately seeing to the leak tomorrow.

Here is my first e30, and my first own car for that matter in all her glory, paid £1500 for her, perhaps slightly overpried with 179000 miles but i wanted it so i bought it lol, good condition of bodywork attracted me. Any advice, help, tips, comments welcome. Bdw i don't intend to keep these wheels...

One place water can get in is via the blanking section for the air con pipes by the battery tray. Water should not be able to get to the battery tray but if the wings have been removed and not sealed back on the car water will find its way onto the battery tray and cause problems. I think this coul...

thanks for your help, i'll put your advice to use tomorrow, as i have been working all weekend! I'll try and get some pics too!

Why is it too late, surely some protection is better than no protection

Also is waxoyl the best, i have heard it traps the dirt etc and in the long run may cause rust, or is this rubbish as long as you clean beforehand?

yes. my thoughts entirely!! im new to e30s and want to keep her looking sweet over winter. Arches definately need protected underneath especially when the gritters are about!!

Hi all, my drivers side carpet is soaking wet, from the accelerator pedal, and down to half way along the door roughly. I checked under the car today and there's no rust at all, but there is about a 8mm wide hole under the bonnet, near the windscreen on drivers side. Would this be causing the wet fl...
