The O/S rear quarter is £259 from cotswolds, the thing is last week there was only one left
so you better be quick, I bought one a few weeks back but no longer need it so if you get stuck PM me.

Just a quick note to say i just ordered an O/S rear quarter for my 87 Cabbie from BMW and it would appear there is only 1 left worldwide, so anyone in the process of restoring one may wanna take note !
Steve

Stick her on EBay, 0 % insertion fees this weekend!

Put car in neutral, both wheels off the ground. If you spin one wheel by hand and the other spins in the same direction it's either an LSD or a welded diff. If you spin one wheel and the other spins the opposite way it's an open diff. Simplest method is to look at the metal tag that's on the diff, ...

Looks like its had some welding before , around jacking point.

£259 from Cotswold, bargain....there are 90 N/S wings left so no panic there, lol

I just bought an O/S rear wing for my Cabbie resto as there are only 4 left worldwide

i dont need it yet but dont wanna get caught with my knickers down !

Now there are 3.

They have a big following. Owners, like myself, that moved them on for newer toys, are now seeking them out again, perhaps to relive their younger days or go back to a car that was pretty good to drive in its day. These are the people with the cash, and the ones that will fuel the price increases. ...

Everyone wants the prices to go up, you only have to see the unrealistic money asked for in the sales ads by some. Reduced availability, will increase prices, and this is the only way the E30 will ever achieve the "Classic" status, i feel it deserves. Wrong. What's the problem with the E30 remainin...

I love them too, its just a shame that people dont encourage resto's like this more. Ford owners have a totally different attitude it would seem. In 10 years time , with the scrap it mentality , these cars will be rare, with stupid price tags attached like Escorts. I would have outed my Cabbie as i ...

If this was a MK1 or 2 Escort people would be knocking one out over this ? What ever happened to the save the car the best you can spirit. I was recently told to scrap my cabbie because it needs some bodywork and a new roof, sure i could buy one already done but wheres the fun in that ? Your car nee...

Update,
A good mate of mine has kindly offered to loan me his garage for 12 months
Rent free so I can save the old dog!
I'll keep the 4 door to spank around in - also teaching my 18 yr old to drive in it a˜„ until I've got the cabby road legal, then maybe turn the more door into a trackday
toy.

Anybody Just redone mine, it was a right fooking mess with more water Pissing out of the white cylindrical ? Things than the jets themselves. Like you I was unable to find a diagram anywhere. I ended up ripping it all out and re routing all hoses. I run the headlight washers direct from the bottle ...

I rerouted all plumbing for washers and head light washers because
Some Pennis gobbler thought it was a good idea to mimic
Spaghetti junction ? Cilly sunt .

Lol, it owes me a monkey.
I'm not gonna spend shit loads if it's pointless.
It does have cruise control though ... Lol
Should I keep the wheels, there 16"
Thanks for the replies

Wow. I'm surprised as I know 4 doors ain't popular .
The Cabby body wise is saveable , I just don't think I can be
Bothered to swap it all over.
Are cabbys that different to drive?

Help, I have a 4 door that i've run for the past year, great car but I have just traded one of my project bikes for a Cabby, both are 325i. Both need some bodywork but the Cabby needs rear shocks, Brakes , heater is leaking and has been bypassed, a new roof ...alot more work than the 4 door. My 4 do...

Thanks Andrew.

Its not bad, a little whine maybe but probably only noticable because i have no carpet in it.
Can you recomend anyone, i'll be taking it out next month
thanks

Hi, i have an LSD on my 4 door but the tab is missing so not sure what one. The diff has quite a bit of backlash causing the motor to hunt a little at times, is it worth having rebuilt ? if so any idea on price or is it an easy DIY job. Its fitted to a car im selling shortly but i was wondering if i...

I have an LSD on my 4 door but the tab is missing, any way i can find out what one i have?

Cheers
Steve

Thanks for that, unfortunately I made the mistake of adjusting the throttle stop when I first got the car

Thanks for the reply, plugs cap and arm all good. Will have a look for the blanking stub.
Can you recommend anyone for the injectors ?
Cheers
Steve

Sorry, head not in gear, lol

Hi, my idle is low, 600rpm when cold but will drop when changing gear sometimes stalling until warm. If you touch the throttle the revs drop down and bounce up again. When it reaches temp it will still idle at 600rpm but will run OK. IF i disconect the battery , reconnect and fire it up it idles at ...
