Star - wish I'd ordered more!!!! :D

Yes it can - or so i'm led to believe - so i'm having a go at mine but i'm having difficulty taking the motor cowling off/apart - i think i've a hidden screw somewhere

Most good part stores should have replacement tubes but I don't know if you'll get a black one

I would try www.realoem.com first, but i'm sure someone will squirrel it out for you shortly Edit - These might help: PRESSURE HOSE ASSY COMPRESSOR-CONDENSER 1 from 06/1983 64531372618 03 PRESSURE HOSE ASSY COMPRESSOR-CONDENSER 1 from 06/1983 to 09/1985 64531373589 Realy need to know year and model

DCB autos in Yeovil - never had any probs with them

Grant's never gave me the right vibe, if that makes sense, so i've never used them.

thanks for that - I'll have a buthers tomorrow.

Coming into work this morning I noticed that I couldn't get the main beam to work, either by flashing (pulling stalk in) or by pushing stalk away.

But when I got to work - they were working fine

There was a lot of spray on the roads.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

Angus

gotcha!

Who are you spoon 320 ? , the handle doesn't sound to promising. I'm just a regular joe m8 who gets a little bit hacked of at the regular and pointless slagging off that you do :D What do you mean well done ???? we are not claiming 250bhp from a 2.5! Fritz's has been had over by the EA (and possibl...

Well done people, a mecca for your bits(z) is about to be lost

It's raining in thr faklands - can't work till 2009

Just a thought, but thread pitch doesn't play a part in torque calculating, just how much load is applied by a torque

Tsk! - I stand corrected, been a long time since i did any engineering maths

Unless you can find a torque demultiplier (if such a thing exists)......

Get a smaller torque wrench

Or maybe you could calculate the length of bar needed to get that torque on that thread pitch.....

maths

Welcome to the zone btw

i think 250 from an m20b25 is possible and keeping it fairly road friendly, i guess people forget when hartge built and raced 325's it wasnt with the technology we have nowadays....but really whats the point. 250bhp isnt that much. definately not worth Ãƒ”šÃ‚£5k from a 2.5litre engine. I agree with...

I'm going to replace the front bushes in the next few weeks and I'm considering Powerflex or Superflex ones.

Has anybody had experience of both these makes and is there any difference between them?

Also, what is the difference in ride quality/noise over the standard rubber ones?

Cheers,

Angus

Occasionally after going on a short run, stopping then starting the car, I get a vague smell of petrol (sometimes) or semi burnt oil-ish smell (like an oily exhaust fume). both are very faint. I've had a good root around the engine bay and I can't see any leaks. The back box is blowing slightly whic...

bleed, bleed and bleed again.

I'm pretty sure you can get steel hose kits - check the pages on the group buy forum

Could be the alternator.....a poor connection maybe....i would be suprised if it was the relays.

There was a thread on here about battery drain which gave some useful info on how to check the circuits.

Fraid electrics are a bit like black magic to me

Sorry I can't be more help

Sounds like they're drawing more power/current than they should be, or maybe your battery is not fully charged/charging properly.

I'm sure the right answer will come along soon.

You thinking of going into business The thought had occured to me winkeye Goin over there on holiday Feb/March next year. I guess I'll have to do some digging on shipping costs. I've actually taken my air con belt off... less drag on the motor. Belts can always be put back on - it's a hell of a sel...

Welcome Rajie.

Stevin - I was thinking more of getting some unrusty bits/cars (not neccessarily rare models but good 318/320's - especially ones with aircon) and bringing them over here!

I think your looking at 2K to ship from UK to SA and vice versa - basically you are paying for a 20' container on a big ship so weight is not an issue.

Hmmm!!!!!!!!!

I wonder how much a 40' would be (and how many bits/cars could be fitted in)

I am the proud owner of a 1985 316(4 door) it has the desireable 'gnarly' 1800cc carburettor mill churning out a rampant 90 bhp @ the spare wheel. I have just fitted a m tech 2 steering wheel and M TECHNIC door sill strips i chawed off a motorsport cab and a pair of sports seats i got from the loca...

My 320 is a south african built car - with aircon :D one of the reasons i bought it - it also has a sump guard fitted - were they standard fit in SA coz of the pothole probs/dirt roads? beeem318i - I have seen another thread on here which talks about retrofitting air con - i think you need to knock ...

Hmmmmmm!

Vin says 2 door,

Body is 4 door,

History from import (1991) is pukka and 4 door

Confused!

Oakdale, Wales

About 3 miles from glenn (i think)

It's not continuous yet (another 2K to go) but I recon the new Penmaen roundabout will provide oooooooodles of fun

And not a speed camera in sight!

Cheers for that Daz - only prob is it doesn't clear up the origin of the paint - the touch up kit in the car appears to be pukka bmw but originates from a paint factor in pretoria?????? Also- I only have an 8 number vin code, stamped on the top of the front left strut mount. I have a horrible feelin...
