I'm adding more as we speak.

Front light.
Wipers.
Brakes abs warning light.
All tyres (not essential but...)
Welding on front suspension.
Something to do with the suspension arms (sounds like they're f%*cked)
New dash circuitboard.

+ labour of course as I'm useless.

I love my e30 obviously. However, to keep her on the road I'll need to spend about £1200 (to pass the MOT). I'm not sure how much she's worth anymore. What do you reckon? Keep her and spend the money or sell her and try and get a replacement instead? Here's some details about the car: 1988 F Reg B...

I have a similar problem and BMW reckon it's the Crankshaft Sensor.

Got exactly the same problem. BMW reckon it's the crankshaft sensor. I've ordered one (about Ԛ£40). I'll put it on myself as even a complete mechanical duffus like me can do so apparently. I'll let you know.

Thanks. The batteries should be fine in there so I guess I should assume that it actually does need an inspection.

sorry and thanks

Thanks folks. Got battery, changed battery, all working. However, my service indicator lights now say that I need an inspection... Ԛ•Ã”šÃ‚ Is this just because I changed the battery or is something likely to be broken? Ԛ• Can I get a tool or do anythng to reset the service indicator...

thanks mate, thought so, back to Halfords.

I've got an E30 325i and my battery has died a death.

Went to Halfords to buy another and the guy reckons I can't change it myself as I'd have to reset the computer?

I reckon that sounds like a load of rubbish.

Who's right?

Any help appreciated.
