E30 Zone

The car itself is not locked, but as far as i can see there is no way into the boot from inside the car. Looks like i might have to give the socket a shot.

Yeah, i knoiw, not the brightest thing to do, and no spare set.

Any idea on best way to get them out?

Cheers

I live 5 minutes from here so I will be going

From thewiki: Heater Blower In order to move the air around the cabin you need a form of fan, which in the E30 is called the Heater Blower. Rather than a bladed fan like an aeroplane's propellor, the heater blower looks like an old paddle steamer with two bladed wheels. These are driven by a central...

190k here so im well out

I know this is not local to the op, but I have been looking into this myself and looks quite reasonably priced, any opinions?

Great fun to drive. 95 n regshould have the better 170bhp engine. They are easy to handle on dry roads, interesting on wet. For less than 200 quid I would bight his hand off.

You take it apart first so its no attached inside the housing.

Do you hear the motor trying to wind it in when you turn the ignition off?

If so take the Arial out an WA nk the shite out of it. I fixed mine like this, they seem to just rot and get stuck, although mine has since stopped working again. They are not hard to take apart.

electric sunroof though, thats pretty sexy.

Any chance of getting the beginning and middle of this story?

What sort of budget do you have in mind? Not sure if this is of interest to you but I do know of some secure and dry barn space, it was a little out of my budget but a joint venture could be good, plenty of room for more than 2 cars, if you don't mind sharing. Located in Painswick, so only 2 miles a...

think thats just dodgy 80s printing mate. Just do it yourself, its easy to get a factory look finish if you rub it back properly etc, in fact mine looked so good it kind of puts the rest of the grill to shame so ill be doin that too 8) http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa175/shorey_bucket/grill.jp...

I should say a good steering lock or clamp will do far more to deter an opportunist than an alarm.

"no dreamers"

Who dreams of a 4 door 318i auto?

Claim to fame, my company does their mobile phone contracts. They also supplied my chromie to my boss 3 years ago with the massive price tag of £700.

£500-£1000 or maybe 50p, maybe £3000.

Offended?

This sweet little motor gives me a trouser twitch. Its stunning mate.

Looks like we will have to reorganise this for another time then.

I'll still be hitting the falcon inn Painswick tonight Matt if you fancy coming up for a beer and a snoop around the motor.

I'm good to go for this.

Whats the name of the pub and we can all head there. What time is everyone thinking?

That alfa is "hansom"?

Do love the volvo though.

And what is this new fangled HPI service?

I'm lead to believe this sort of cleaner can do more harm than good to older engines, as the build up of rot can actually be blocking problems.

I may be wrong, but a good starting point ofr conversation...

A mate of mine is bringing his moredoor along too.

Have we picked a venue yet? I'm pretty central to everywhere so I'm easy as to where we meet up.

looping =/= rimming?

The return of Stevie has prompted me to share a couple of snaps i've managed to grab of a couple of examples of modified 36's in my area. I've had the displeasure of communicating with the owner of this one, and it's a 318is auto. http://i988.photobucket.com/albums/af5/mattthehat325/carbits001.jpg ...

hehe, mostly car related, looks like my car has given in to the rain we have had lately and started pissing in water into the drivers footwell. I think its blocked drains from the sunroof, just need it to stop raining long enough to get a look at it.

I have driven mine every day since last september on similar daily drives as the OP describes. Only mechanical problem i have had was when a perished fan belt snapped, but this is purely down to the car being in storage for so long before i got my hands on it. A fair few electrical issues and the us...

I'm still in, despite some extra problems that have come up. Matt86 has gone a bit quiet on the forums.

right here is the finished project? cadburys purple which shimmers different shades on purple in sunlight, photos are a bit dark it is a lot more electic than this, pics dont do the car justice? http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m531/123tom123tom/DSC00644.jpg http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m...

Hi I dont wanna upset people so asking first would it be ok to post some picks and info about my car on this thread and maybe you guys can give me an idea of how much my car woukd be worth also if anyone else would like to know about their car as well? Thanks is a very good idea, however be prepare...

So you think it is over priced? What is wrong with a friendly PM to advise from your vast experience? You think the bloke is full of shit? Why not send a mod a PM? I would have thought really with a site like this we should all be there to help each other and keep the E30 spirit going. I have pulle...

That is one ugly bastard of a car.

coupe is a 2 door saloon.

This is, personally speaking, the best available for an e30. I'm still looking for one with the gaiter attached.

Sexy mushroom sheet.

I can say, when buying a car this old, if money is a factor, the cost of insurance should be the least of your worries.

Expect parts to be like hens teeth.
