No afraid it wasn't me that changed it.

I'm in Ireland.

Thanks, but it needs to be stamped into the bodywork for the test. Plates and stockers can be removed. Cheers

Does anyone know if the VIN is stamped in the bodywork anywhere other than the scuttle panel under the windscreen?

Need urgent advice as the car is being re-tested tomorrow and no dealer or bodyshop would re-stamp the VIN (scuttle panel has been replaced).

Thanks

Getting the Baur ready for her Irish MOT (NCT) on Sunday, so thought I would replace the rear brake shoes. I've followed the Bentley/Haynes instructions, but once back together, the brake pedal travel is long and the handbrake is non-existent (lever pulls all the way up). This has to be down to the ...

SO its been 6 months in the making, but the Baur is finally back on the road.

Have done top end rebuild, new exhaust. That's about it so far. A long way to go until she is spanking, but I'm pleased for now.

But I can't drop the sump pan cos the dipstick tube is attached to it with a ruddy big nut....

I ripped the old exhaust out of my '90 320i, and have been wrecking my head looking at realoem trying to work out what replacement pipes I need to order. What came off: Single piece manifold with 4 holes 2 piece exhaust, non catalyst Pics... http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/ae155/sgaites/BMW/E30/t...

I'm changing the fluid in my auto. Have got new seals, filter and fluid. Problem is, I cannot get the dipstick collar nut off, no matter how much leverage I use. Anyone come across this ?? Its impossible to undo the bracket holding the dipstick tube to the bellhousing, so can't even drop it out. Any...

Thanks, but I'd already read that. I know the cam is physically interchangeable. But will the different profile affect the running?
Can anyone help ?
Thanks again.

I've stripped my 320 engine after a broken rocker arm, the camshaft is junk.

I have access to a good 325 camshaft. I know it's different - but can someone tell me if the cam from the 2.5 will be OK for the 2.0 ?

thank you

The cam isn't looking too bad - mirror finish on all lobes, no pitting. However the no.3 intake lobe (corresponding to the broken rocker) is a lot more worn than the others, can catch the lip with my fingernail. Just to give you an idea of the state of the rest of the head... http://i967.photobucket...

So I stripped the head of my 320 today, to find that the zero compression on cylinder 3 was caused by a snapped intake rocker arm. I was thinking I should replace them all regardless... The wearing on number 2 & 3 rockers (L) is odd compared to the others (R) http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/ae155...

No airbag. Steering lock is off...the old wheel pulled off easily. There was a spacer on the shaft, about 1/2 inch.

The mtech wheel just doesn't seem to engage on the splines.

I've just bought a lovely M Tech 1 steering wheel for my E30, to replace standard 4 spoke. It doesn't seem to sit properly though. Should the spacer stay in ? The splines are the same (fine). Anyone done this ? I have searched online but can only find US sites where people swapped out the airbag whe...

Hi all Am relatively new to engine rebuilds so bear with me. I have had a good look around this forum, some great advice. Simple question - i have a '90 320, and have a chance to get an engine from a '91 325. Should have the same injection system and loom , so all I woudl need really is the ECU ?? C...

Sorted...penetrating oil, a shiny new pair of vice grips and a bit of brute force.
cheers lads

I've found that one of the bolt heads on the dizzy cap has broken off. I want to replace with a new cap.....question is, should I remove one of the screws from the new cap and just slide it over the stub sticking out ? i can't get enough purchase on the stub with pliers to try and screw it out. Any ...

Looks awesome. Love the interior especially - did you get the seats retrimmed locally ?
