112,500 mate

Ofcourse, 6 months tax and 6 months MOT, was also serviced 6 months ago so still drives perfectly

ill put the auction on and see what happens! cheers

Any ideas on a price i should be asking for? given that the breaking engine has had a weber carb fitted and the shell is in good condition?

is that all i need mate, and how do i use it? never done something like this before but its all a learning curve! thanks

So remove the rocker cover of the engine block to determine if there's any 'sludge' undernearth? the person who test drove pressumed it was from the connection of the rocker cover was the air filter was taken off and the oil landed all the way onto the fuse box cover.. he also said this is likely to...

New engine is needed then, problem is im getting rid of the car so don't want to spend tonnes on an engine swap :( any idea how much the m10 engine will cost me? and how much it will cost me to get it fitted? also is it just the engine i need and not the gearbox etc? never had a serious engine probl...

More so cut my losses and get rid to be honest mate!

Thats a pain in the ass! how much does a 316 sell for without an engine? haha, what should happen mate? i haven't done that yet but ill do it later when im home!

the outlet on the top left of the engine block is where the oil is supposedly coming from!

pretty sure it was the one in the picture on the top left of the engine block that was spewing the oil :/

Hello mate, any pipes i should be looking at? the air filter is off and i made sure the majority of the oil was cleaned. i then took it for a 2 minute spin to determine where how much oil was leaking and were is was, it ended up being on the passenger side of the car with some on the fuse box cover ...

Alright lads, i haven't been driving the e30 much lately but there has been a persistant oil leak/spew from the carb.. I had a lad test drive it today and he said there is way too much pressure and the oil is coming from an outlet on the engine that the air filter connects to? He said it was a prett...

Trying to change the wheels over on my 316 but i have only been able to change 2, the 2 wheels on the passenger side are really stubborn to remove! I haven't got an airgun or anything like that so im just using the tool and a bit of strength but even putting all of my weight on the nut isn't budging...

Well the idling actually got higher, so does that make an overly tight throttle cable more likely? when i first started the car it was fine, the high-idle only started to occur after a bit of driving so the licking sticking in the same position seems likely?

The car was fine when i drove it to work this morning in terms of the starting problem, maybe its just picky! haha. A weird problem i encountered though was the engine constantly being revved (asif the pedal was slightly stuck) when i shut the engine down i continued to rattle for a while and made a...

Have your tappets/timing and fuel mixture been adjusted and set by somebody who knows what they are doing ? Playing with the carburettor is pointless without all the basics being correct. Ask Euan ! :( Yeah the old guy who fitted the carb knows what he is doing, he put it on the rolling road to ens...

Thanks for the advice mate, should i push the pedal down whilst turning the key or before? im pretty sure i pushed the pedal down the first time it happened which got it started!

Thats what i mean, its a 10-15 minute drive to the petrol station, so the car should start up straight away but it doesn't, maybe the carb needs cleaning?

Thats exactly what i have avoided.. surely after stopped for 5 minutes the engine should start up straight away without any difference in choke etc as the engine temperature wouldn't of changed too much?

The choke is all the way out mate, like its ticking over but won't start and i don't want to keep it ticking as i don't want to damage anything

Good point mate, is the cable easy to remove and attach? the mechanic obviously did it when he fitted the carb but ill but the one removing and re-attaching the cable. Also have a pretty annoying problem, the car is a pain to start one i have stopped it to fill it up for petrol etc. it will keep tic...

I had a little look and the plastic plate where that choke cable is attached can be removed, i did this and the majority of the plastic is reinforced with that thick foam, the only gap to drill a hole is the already existing one that the plate bolts on? is this the best place to put the cable? Also ...

Ill have a look tomorrow to see if it can be drilled into without messing with anything! and all fuses are fine :/ what could be wrong with the earths? cheers mate

I Haven't attempted it yet but the plastic is very thick so im not sure if the cable will go through it!

Any tips on what i can do to fix my electrical problem? then right side light son my car including the dash lights won't come on?

i attempted to fit the choke cable like the one on the picture but the plastic is way to thick so no idea how that lad did it, any other ideas?

A few rust 'spots' have started to appear on the top of the front chrome bumper, can these be removed with wire wool/chrome polish?

Been told that the adapter will cost me a whopping £54.33, maybe a k&n would be a better option.

I have found a thin base gasket which will make around a 5mm different from the current spacer block, do i need an adapter so the original filter can be put onto the carb?

Would shaving the spacer down not be a possibility? also, what size spacer would you recommend mate?

Alright mate ill do that, ill also ring the mechanic to see how close the filter was from clearing the bonner.. hopefully this will sort it!

thanks bud, i really couldn't figure out what was causing it to be so high until the mentioned the spacer, i thought it was a necessity.

The black thing inbetween the carb and the manifold? is it thicker then normal?

I bought this second hand so no idea why someone would have a large spacer that would cause the original filter not to fit?

Im not sure mate, know nothing about the carb! the mechanic did say it has been modified which made it too too tall?

can anyone confirm if i can buy a different phenolic filter? would save me some cash!

Heres some pictures if they help? http://i544.photobucket.com/albums/hh341/NkS-HeadLoss/IMG_39871_zps4bf70742.jpg http://i544.photobucket.com/albums/hh341/NkS-HeadLoss/IMG_39881_zps28cf2eaf.jpg http://i544.photobucket.com/albums/hh341/NkS-HeadLoss/IMG_39891_zpsb5e12870.jpg http://i544.photobucket.co...
