Received, cheers bud

Cheers, couldn't remember where I got it from last time. Somehow managed to fry every relay in it including the processor!

I've not been around in a while but I bought a processor for my ECU maybe a year or 2 ago from one of the members here. I'm after another one, is anyone around who still does that?

Cheers

£12 to get in, £30 to race. If you're racing bring your driving license, a helmet and a safe vehicle. It's Run What Ya Brung all day, that means no sharing the track with other series and so shedloads of runs! :) I've sorn'd my E30 for the winter so providing the weathers not too nasty I'll be racin...

This is probably a stupid question, but I've just yanked the fuel filter out of my E30, was the standard one for the 318is. Can I replace it for the one to go with the M30B35 without any issues? I've already got some kind of issue which has caused 2 fuel pumps to go pop and want to make sure I'm not...

I'm reposting this from another forum: Hi folks, Just wanted to introduce ourselves, some of you might know already but for those who don't.

Jack it up, get under that fother mucker and see where the leak is coming from.

Impossible to tell for sure from the angle in the video, you need to be under it.

Cheers for the replies. My engines listed in my sig: M30B35. The old fuel pump was definitely toast, hooked it up to a power supply and nothing. Try to field some of these other Q's: What was the engine temp when it happened? The engine does run warm but at the time I think it was just over half way...

Out for a drive one night the E30 just stopped running, in the middle of a roundabout. Electrics were on and engine would turnover but not fire. After getting brought home on the back of a low loader I found that it was the fuel pump that had packed up, so I took the assembly out of the tank, swappe...

Some raw footage of a test drive after sorting a couple issues out:

When you find it, you can check if its the culprit by removing it and using short wire links to join together pins 30 and both 87s of its socket, then driving the car like this. Remove the links when you stop the engine. You sir are a genius. This seems to have solved it. It stuttered once or twice...

Forgive my caution, I'm a newbie to this.

Is this right for the short wiring?

Yeah, that's all good. I keep thinking back to the whine though, if the alternator is on it's way out could that cause the issue?

Found it! Under the dash like you said. Took it out, looked like it had a little oil in there, I clean it up, reseated it but still has the splutter. Will try short wire later and let you know.

I have absolutely no idea where the DME relay is, I can't see anything in the engine bay that looks like what comes up on Google images for E30 DME relay. But, I have had all the big fuses out of the fuse box on the n/s of the bay and reseated them. This may or may not be a coincidence but afterward...

For the stutter, open up and clean the contacts in the DME relay, or replace it. The source of a whine is likely to be the alternator, but I can't tell you if it's a death whine or no from here. Check that the drive belt isn't too tight, and consider running the engine for a minute with the belt of...

Perhaps there's some crud in the fuel tank, or fuel hoses, causing an intermittent blockage. Have you replaced the fuel filter recently? No but that was the same line of thinking that I had. My pickup did something similar not too long ago (minus the whine!) and it was as simple as a blocked fuel f...

I've recently had to be brought home on the back of a low loader when my fuel pump just died. So I've had the pump out of the tank, fitted a new one and the car runs again. But occasionally it'll splutter like it wants to cut out, and at the same time the MPG gauge at the bottom of the dash shoots a...

Sadly my E30 developed a problem at the very last minute so I had no choice but to go in the pickup. It was a cracking day with a nice variety of cars and a lunch break with some awesome bikes too. http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/995943_554438594593219_24947302_n.jpg http://sphotos-g.a...

Fuel pump rebuilt. Bit of a f**k about since the pump I got off ebay was different to the one installed. I had to adapt the wiring connectors and replace the fuel pipe, plus the rubber seat at the bottom doesn't quite fit as it should. But it's back together. Twice when trying to refit the pump in t...

Haha! Fished it out, refitted it to pump, managed to get the pump in place in the tank and then realises I haven't put the f**king seal back in place! FFS!!!!!

BTW, to stop it happening again, can I glue the strainer on?

You don't need to drain the tank; you just need a length of stiff wire and some needlenose pliers, and a lot of patience. I've dropped the strainer in more than once, and fished it out through the pump hole eventually. I had a feeling that was the answer. I have been at it with a wire coat hanger, ...

So my fuel pump died on me, bought another off of eBay, followed this guide to fit another: http://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/forum/f92/how-replace-e30-fuel-pump-t26375/ I realise it's not the zone but it was the first one that came up on Google! I've got as far as refitting the pump in the tank, was an...

Dunno, when you coming over? ;)

lol! Just picked up my LSD last night. And on the way home my fuel pump packed in! FFS! Came home on the back of a low loader, rocking up at home at 2.30am when you've got to be up at 6.30am for work, is not the best way to start your week! New fuel pump ordered off fleabay, should be here Weds, mig...

Bump! This weekend boys and girls.

To be fair, as useless as that diff is it has stood up to some serious punishment. I'm sideways round any corner I can get away with and I do rolling burnouts every time I move off. It is whining a bit now but still has a bit of life in it!

It's the standard diff from the 318is, not sure of ratio but it's open so you put any power through it and it just spins one wheel while the other sits there doing sweet FA. Completely useless.

Like I say, got a .64 one coming soon, we'll see how it goes with that.

Yea, a mates building me an LSD for next week. I may give up drag strip plans and just drift it, it goes sideways like a good un.

Should be taking her up York Raceway next Sunday. Did you go and how did you get on? I did mate, but didn't do well. It was heaving so only got 3 runs all day. 1st run started in 2nd gear and pretty much just sat on the start line spinning 1 wheel (bloody open diff!) 2nd run started in 3rd gear but...

Oh yeah, and in the process of losing some dead weight:
