Can anyone tell me what the resistance shud be roughly for the working sensers please? and how can I test if the wheel is sending a signal when it spins?

Bit of an update, I temp wired in a complete abs loom and turned the key and the light went out on the new loom, so I traced each wire on it and made notes and then did same with my loom fitted to the car, each wires going to the wheel senser wers mixed up so I cut them and rejoined them and traced ...

Is ther anyway of clearing the abs light without a scan tool? my light wont go off at all and have changed everything bar the complete abs wiring loom and still have a light shinning bright on the dash with no abs working, should the car not clear itself after a drive if the problem has been fixed o...

Anyone got 2 decent front coilovers at a fair price? Must be willing to wrap for courier thanks

Hi i was just wondering whats the going rate for a set of 15" Azevs in good condition just repainted and with all centre caps, no tyres as i don't want to get them marked with tyre fitters

Does anyone have any info on wiring this resistor into the ecu on the TDS? can't find anything in english on google, just looking cheapest way to max the fuel from the pump as its only a car for bit of fun then getting scrapped,

I don't no it could be, whats the best way of checking them out?

Yep stay lit all the time even when the car is locked it drains the battery if car is left for long time,it isn't right there is a problem somewhere

Do they still work with the key out of the ignition?

Yep they stay lit at the switch and they work up and down as normal with no key?

Hi does anyone have any ideas why the electric windows would be staying live all the time once the car is parked up with no key? Would it be down to broken wires in the door loom for the interior light? had a car before and that was the problem cause once the door opens the windows became live, any ...

I know you guys are correct in what your saying but this MOT dick failed the car for it, reason is he's not long threw his training and i reckon he was trained with the working of modern ABS systems and not the older type like the E30's, i am taking the car up tomorrow morning again myself to see th...

Ok thats what i was thinking, its just the mot guy failed the car cause he reckons it is wired in with the batt light, thanks again

Hi can anyone tell if the ABS light is meant to go out when ignition is left turned on? This light only goes out after engine starts the car is 1990 325i sport, thanks

Well i started this job last summer and wanted to try keep it quiet untill it was out and finished but people got on to me so i might just aswell make a thread of it now with the few pics i took when i had a camera on me when i was working on it, the problem was i was just working in my spare time a...

No its to thick it should gears will be stiff it sould be ATF fluid auto trans fluid sounds daft but it's true

I have heard that the problem could be a broken down HT Lead expanding when hot. I don't think its the crank sensor because the car isn't cutting out. Before this all happened the car over heated 2 or 3 times due to a broken water pump. Maybe that has done something? Let me know what yous think. Ha...

Well i think this guy wants to fix the problem himself so if he doesn't know what he's looking for is it not best for him just to try other parts to diagnose the problem? If i was working on the car i would only be charging for what part cured the problem but maybe garages over your way work different

Could be anything but i would start with the simple things first such as plugs or leads and dizzy cap and fuel filter then your fuel pump pressure or even crank sensor could be playing up, could be anything really just start changing and test driving till its fixed good luck :D Not sure this is not...

Sounds like your crank senser is playing up when car heats up, the rough idle and fumes is prob just from all the cranking your doing before it fires and the clunk you hear is the engine been flooded and cause it to jam up, it could be other things aswell but try the simple things first

Think its my mate your thinking on Lee

a mate used an E32 engine with fly by wire and he says you will need a complete throttle body from a normal 535 engine and all the hoses/pipes to match it, just removed your electric set up and screw the manual on and also you need a manual engine loom as the auto loom is no use to many xtra wires a...

Millers LSD oil is also good and fill till it overflows out of bung

Was thinking that myself thats why i just said E36 car, shudn't be asking any info about the bad E36's on here E30 all the way

well many thanks guys for your help can now tell my mate to go ahead and get screwing as the engine will do his job grand

This 523 is bein fitted to an E36 car not a E30,

Will a E36 325 sump ETC not fit this 523 block?

All sounds good then, will the sump need changing for an E36 sump as its going in an E36 car? or is the E39 same sump, am not up on these newer BM's LOL
