Thanks for the reply, thermostat has been changed, and the car doesn't get especially hot, it runs about 1/4 most of the time. I also noticed when I stopped for petrol steam coming out from the Kidney grills, and when I opened up the bonnet, there was collant on top of the radiator, and on the tips ...

Hi Guys, Got a bit of a problem here! Yesterday afternoon I was heading home from work and the coolant light came on, luckily I had a water bottle in the car so I topped it up. When I got home I checked it again, and it had used about a litre of water, which I thought was a little excessive in 16 mi...

Thanks for the tip, was hoping it wasn't going to be that, but guess it had to happen sooner or later

Will have a look at that! Batteries from the dealer?

And how did you know I had a gameboy?!

lol

Cheers,

Greg

Well, got a strange one here!! :eek: Started her up this morning, and on startup noticed the REV needle stick at 1000 RPM. Drove off, and it juddered up to 3,000 and stayed there even when I changed gear! 8O It kept repeating this until the inside of the car was warm. This was first thing this morni...

Just a quickie for all you guys with HID systems, where are you putting the ballasts?? I have the intensive wash bottle and ABS pump right behind my light covers

so would like to know where weveryone else has put theres!!

Cheers,

Greg

I think it is a very real possibility that the 4 series could happen... A coupe version of the E90

Thanks for that, much appreciated

You know when I first read that I thought you meant you had looked at my car... I know

Have to see if I can find a cheap relay now!!

Cheers,

Greg

Hi guys, Whilst having a play with my car the other night, I noticed the front fogs were not working, so looked at the fuses. Fine. So now i'm thinking it could be the relay. If it was the relay would the teltale on the dash light up?? At present I have no dash light when the switch is on. It could ...

Have a look on eBay, seem to be a few fascia's floating about on there! Worth a go!

Solved the problem... Removed the amp, and wired the speakers to the head unit!!

Cheers for all the advice guys!

Greg

Cheers for all the info guys! After trying all the tips I still had the noise, so have just run wire from the head unit to the speakers as I just want some sound from the back, not too bothered how it gets there!!

Maybe one day I will put an amp back in!

Thanks again!

Greg

As above, help appreciated! I'm thinking 28 psi...

Your thoughts please gents!

Cheers,

Greg

Another vote for Demlotcrew! Top chap!

My ABS sensor has just gone and packed up, and I'm wondering if anyone here knows where I can get one without having to mortgage my living accomodation!! The dealers are asking Ãƒ”šÃ‚£80, gsf don't do them and ECP is about the same as a dealer with postage etc.. Does anyone know where I can get one ...

Hi mate, I have the Laser Blue, and will try to post some pics of it when I wash the winter grime off! It does have a slight colour change effect, in that it does have a purple hue under bright light. If you're trying to get away from the purple then this may not be the colour for you. Will get some...

Just a polite enquiry to ask where the Post Count forum has gone? I added myself to the list when I signed up two months ago, and have not had my count added. Just wondering if it will be added??

Does anyone have any info on where the forum has gone?!

Cheers,

Greg

Thanks for the info Paul. Good to know I can get the help required for my slowly increasing skills!! :thumb: If I took the +ve off the amp, and attached it to the remote switch on, would that light the amp up? Might be worth trying that first!! Also what would happen if I wired the speakers wrong, a...

I'll have a look to see how tidy it all is, but I checked with a torch earlier, and nothing is touching the case of the amp. I have earthed it using the bolt that holds the jack against the car in the boot as that uses a nice big screw, but I may relocate it if I'm told it's not a good idea!! Would ...

Thanks for the tip Ant. As I know nothing about electrics, would that make a difference between having the engine off, and having no buzzing, and having the engine on and having buzzing?

Would it be worth buying a new earth strap anyway?

Cheers,

Greg

Hi Paul, Thanks for the info. The wiring was already in the car when I bought it, and all runs down the transmission tunnel under the carpet. I hooked all this up and like I said was fine until I started the car. I'm not the most technically minded of people, but am considering looking at the connec...

Hi Giles,

Thanks for the reply, but the buzzing is the same whether the gain is all the way up, or all the way down.

It seems to happen when anything electrical in the car is used. I think it could be to do with the switched live. Anyone have any other ideas?

Cheers,

Greg

I finally got around to fitting my AMP. It was all wired and fitted in the boot, and as with the last two I had, couldn't get it to light up with the remote on. Now I knew the amp to be good, as it was factory fresh, so I took the head unit out and checked the remote on wire, no +12v on it. So I rem...

If you're confused about the colour temperature, have a look at this. Tells you what kelvin gives off what Lumens!

It's about halfway down the page.

Come on guys, surely someone must know something!!

I have been thinking about putting these on my e30 for a while, and whilst browsing ebay tonight I found this link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&tc=photo&item=7958849967&category=36476 The price looks good, but my question is does anyone have experience with these kits, an...

I would say it's probably the best way to go, certainly worked for me! I used Jenolite Double Act. That's part of the reason I used 4 coats of primer as the jenolite is red! It's got a consistancy very much like industrial floor paint. Depending on how it goes on you may need to wet and dry it down ...

I did it in very much the same way when I tackled rust on my old 318i. My process went like this...! Bought a cheap angle grinder and a selection of attachments. I had a wire brush attachment and a grinding flap wheel. I Used the wire brush attachment to get the majority of the rust off, and then us...

I have a 1990 325i SE on 156,000 miles. The cylinder head was replaced approx. 50,000 miles ago. It mainly does short trips, with the odd longer run. What would be the best oil to use in it? I have been advised agaisnt a fully synthetic oil as have been told it will be too thin. Any advice greatly a...

Thanks for the advice chaps, have ordered a complete set, as I don't know what state the front's are in so playing it safe and replacing them all!!

Cheers,

Greg

I have just had a bit of a scare whilst drving my 325! Was minding my own business when I hit a bump and the car started behaving very strangely, accompanied by a rather odd squeeking noise from the offside rear suspension. Fearing the worst I got home and got the torch out only to find what looks l...

Those clusters tend to do that. I had the same problem once, and the fix is quite straightforward! Take the Cover that holds the bulbs off, blow the contacts off, and push firmly back into place, then screw home the securing screw. Chances are the indicator bulb will work, and something else won't! ...

IS this the fuel injected version or the one with the carb? I had a similar problem with my e-plate 316 in that it would cut out at junctions when the clutch was dipped, unless you buried the throttle. However it never failed to start, but when it was ticking over it was very uneven and would never ...

I have seen this on the shelves of numerous motor factor places, and wondered if/how well it works, and if there is any specific one that works better than the rest? Just in case there is any confusion, it's the in the tank one I have seen. I think my injectors may need a clean so have considered it...

Rob,

Am interested in both the Cover and the Manifold, what is your price posted? And can you do the crinkle effect? Also, have any ever started peeling at all?

Just in case you are located nearby I may be able to collect, where are you based?

Cheers,

Greg
