Re: remote locking kits
you will need a couple of 5A blocking diodes.
I see that the same seller sells blocking diodes (rather expensively), but gives no indication of their rating.

Re: Can an E30 be truely reliable?
couldnt agree more, ive learned everything i know about cars (which isnt much) from tinkering with mine.part of owning an older car includes playing with the car, learning what goes wrong and why, if not find out on the zone, then fix it relatively easily in your own garage

it's like anything, if you look after it, it will look after you.
My touring is my main car, i dont have any other form of transport, it doesnt worry me, i'll be looking after it
