Nightmare

Should have said, its an E30, obviously, but more specifically, a 316i with central locking. Hope this is the correct section aswell?

To cut a long story short;

KEYS LOCKED IN CAR - ENGINE RUNNING - BONNET UP - NEED KEYS OUT FROM INSIDE LOCKED CAR.

Anyone help?

Im almost ready o take great pleasure from tanning my window in

Meant to tell everyone earlier, i was having a bit of a ding dong up the M8 against a concorde in my 316i. He dropped a gear and floored it the same time i did, the tarmac started to buckle under my tyres and i went into a wheelie. i was gubbing him like he was going backwards. So yeah, your 325i pr...

Got my new one today - thanks to smithy318i.

Now, can i just sling it on in place of the old one, or do i need a new gasket?

Also, do the bolts need to be torque'd or just tight?

Cheers

Got mine about a year ago. I was 18.

So far its been relatively cheap and cheerful, so cant complain.

Out of interest, what feels faster, your old gti or the beemer?

Is this chip compatible with the 316i M40 engine?

Might consider it.

Nice one ser

A mate of mine sprayed his civic himself... On his driveway in the summer, i helped him prep it as well as we could, then i went on holiday. Came back 2 weeks later to see the result... It was shite :cry: Small hairs and feathers, bits of dust etc had landed on the car and he'd sprayed over the top ...

How do you work that one out?

Looks good

Because the paint is more aerodynamic than the other colours, means it cuts through the air better.
Also, the flux capacitor in the red ones spins faster.

Nice car mate.

Ill take that black grill off your hands if your rally slagging the motor?

Look forward to seeing it come along.

Without a doubt spend it on the engine.
If it isnt already stage 3 it

What spec is the engine just now?

Anyone know much about the seatbacks in there E30? Particularly interested in the "comfort" seats.

That thread helps a bit eko.

Guess who's lying under a car checking some sensor cable at the weekend

shouldnt be the brake pads as they were done not long ago, infact, less than 800 miles ago.

Will have a read at the other thread.

Cheers.

Just had the beemer out for the first time in a while tonight. After about.. 10mins driving, i noticed the warning light to the immediate right of the handbrake light was having a fit, blinking on and off, then staying on for a period, then flicking off again. It LOOKS.... like a connection fault, i...

Any excuse to make the current engine go pop though, then its 6-pot time

But aye, i agree it might be worth getting it checked out..

Cheers for that lads.

Im led to believe the belt was replaced just before i bought the car, but then again, the seller could just have been saying that, so as you say, none the wiser.

Cheers
