Cheers Brian! Another thing on the list!

Hi Guys My car has developed this strange high pitch, bird like whistle at around 2k rpm. When I lift off the accellerator it whistles but when I touch the accelerator again just the tiniest amount the noise stops. It does whistle when accelerating hard around this rev range as well and it sounds li...

That sure is Boyds place! a˜‰

But leather is cold and sooo over-rated.. a˜aa˜‰ Bit like Nando's.. everyone goes on about it but it's not that great really. I mean who wants a cold or sweaty arse? a˜†

How much for the whole interior as the rears are the same with a ski hatch, arm rest and more made for 2 people than 3! Quite a high raised center and back mid section of the rears. Someone was asking 600 for a set of mint standard ones on ebay so thsee got to be getting on to 1k Blue cab man will ...

Why thank you sir!

It looks pretty cool but as per usual it needs some attention behind the scenes! These bodykits dont half cause ussues with rusty bits!

Good idea with the seat swapping actually! Never even thought!

I have 2 sets.

OoooooOOOOOoooooH!

You have a few spare bits? Haha My passenger side is creaky whilst going over rough roads, fine when someone is sat in them.. any idea LS Recardo man?

Sweet, because they're in mine! Haha They are super comfy but I do require some parts for it like the spring that holds the leg extension bit.. Which e30 do you have ? lucky guy they look in super condition too will only ever rise in value so go cok out when and if you ever decide to part with em C...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure in my old iS the extension was extended via a triangular knob, these are on like a ratchet system where you lift them up and drop into a cut out section with a heavy spring holding it tight.. am I right in my first statement as iS seats are sports ones..?

Are these rare?

Also in the WiKi..

"The rear shock absorbers are one of the few suspension components that are standard on all E30s. They are all the same length and damping force."

Woop woop! Cheers guys!

I see, mines a tech 2. What should I go for, don't want them sitting a mile high and being soft as poop.. haha

These ones good guys? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 85&alt=web

So just standard 325i shocks are the same as the Sports yah? a˜Š

Nice one! I was looking at getting some B6's but they aren't cheap! Think I will stick to the B4s for now.

The standard shocks produce a slight drop on the Sports or is that just the springs?

Thanks Guys, I had a bit of a leak and turned out to be one of the pipes joining the rack wasn't tight enough, half a turn and the leak stopped and the problem of the clunking etc has gone.. for now! Think I'm going to just put a new thermostat in it, anyone got one for sale? And some rear shocks an...

Hey guys, A few things really that I could do with a hand with, 1. My fuel level is always showing full and then tells the truth about an hour into a long journey, will I need a new sender or is it something a bit more simple? 2. Temperature is sitting at 1/4 whilst driving on a run but when I'm in ...

Hey guys, My shocks are shot so looking to do an overhaul on the whole set up and upgrade them to Bilsteins like I had on my previous E30. I've got a 325i Sport and was looking at Bilstein B6 shocks but I read somewhere that the sport models should run B8's? Is this correct? Whilst looking online fo...

Replaced with links this morning and all was fine. Only after about 1.5 hours driving and going through some stop start traffic the engine heats up and it started again. Not as bad this time but certainly something. The links were in solid but it still persists, its only intermittent and when it cut...

I see, well it starts again fine, sounds like the relay is just packing in. I shall bridge it and see what happens! Thanks again!

This DME relay is the one on its own on the inner wing near the power steering reseviour? Got a black plastic cover over it?

Cheers Brian, I shall give that a bash tomorrow! It does seem to only happen when the engine is hot!

It's only started tonight and I got a long drive ahead of me tomorrow.. state of urgency here! Haha I can probably get one tomorrow afternoon. I read about bridging contacts on the relay. If I do that will it get me to Inverness from Glasgow? Also what size cable would I need?

I don't need to restart the car whilst driving it just seems to go dead for two seconds then jump back into life.

Yeah connections are sound.

It doesn't go right down as it starts back up again before the needle has chance to fall completely down..

Hi guys, My car just developed a problem today whilst driving along the revs dropped and then came back to life after 2 seconds, also when stopped it just cut out. Starts again fine. It seems to happen as the engine is hot and the rev counter dips when it stutters whilst driving. Is this an ignition...

Anyone got a boat here and has any clue? Cant be bothered joining a boating forum! Haha I just bought this and i think its gel coat and its really porus, faded and patchy as you can see in the photo.. how would i go about making it really shiny and stay shiny? Ive got use of a pnumatic rotary polish...

Hey brian! Cheers for that! I shall give it a bash! Ill strip them down and grease them for the MOT man! Just went to BMW to price up the adjusters and they are a tenner each! And theres 8!? Is that right?

I was thinking that might just do it.. Is it a piece of piss to remove the headlights? How do you adjust the bottom ones if theyre attached to that in car adjuster thingy?

Hi guys! My headlights are all over the joint! Ive had a wee look about and the adjusters are pretty tight! I have the vertical adjuster in the car but it doesn't work. There are thin plastic pipes going towards the lights but not attached to them.. The adjuster and the bottom the headlight, one of ...

I check that tomorrow brian! Cheers!

The key doesnt work to turn it off.. it seems stuck!

Hey TT if you go on e30wiki you will see a guide on there, im on my phone and cant do all that copy and pasting! Hah

Its pretty damn windy outside too... could these be a cause?
