E30 Zone

Thanks Brian, I'll have a squiz in the morning.

I've got a South African E30 saloon as well except the seat belt sign is up with the check panel. Is this a genuine BMW accessory?

I removed this diff from a South African 325i Auto Saloon. The only numbers I can make out clearly are 1210 411 - part number but I can't find it on RealOEM. I can also make out 5638 or 5G38

Any body help please?

Sounds like the pins on the light strip may be dodgy or something because I'm getting a circuit on it with about 15ohms resistance which is about right be a couple of bulbs.

Will be back for help if I can't solve it.

Thanks

The backlight for the OBC LCD display doesn't light up. I've checked the continuity of the bulb carrier and I still have a circuit - assume bulbs and resistor are ok. I reckon there's a loose connection, since it's been temperamental recently. Anybody know where the power for the LCD backlight comes...

Discs, drum brake for hand brake.

Can't see no washer thing. But the drive shaft has been punched in the middle which I spose will make it a lot more difficult to remove.

I'm trying to change my rear wheel bearing. I haven't got passed taking the hub nut off though. Anybody know what size it is? I think it's 29mm, unfortunately my socket set has 27mm then 32mm with nothing inbetween.

Have a look at what Jules found in his 320i Touring...

Before I got a mortgage I got the dealer to do wishbone job on my 325i -ouch it cost me dear!

I've got SA 325i, I think the SA cars are well speced, I got: Air con Cruise Headlight Wash Sump Guard - top piece of kit! Large Tool Kit Untouched First Aid Kit and Triangle Seatbelt Check panel OBC Long Range fuel tank Leather with Rear Head rests I'd quite like Maplight, Armrest, Extinguisher, To...

http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/8382/headlightszv3.jpg I don't recognise the lights you have fitted but the 'spares' you have bought look like pre-facelift lights similar to mine on the right of the photo. The post facelift lights have the 'smile' on them which you can see (on the left). Logic w...

Yep, if you go to the dealer they can normally give a print out of all the options that came with the car when it was manufactured, paint scheme, electrics, wheels etc. Not sure all dealers do it though?

The electric valve only cuts off the water flow through the heater matrix when the dial is set to full cold. Is this the same for cars with Air Con? That means you would have heating and cooling going on at the same time unless temp gauge was fully cold - which could make sense as the Air con and h...

I've got a 325i with Air Con, which works however, when I try to adjust the blower air temperature with the Air Con off it just stays cold until the dial is hard over to the right at which point it goes to full heat. There's no inbetween temperature. The bowden cable seems to be ok, I'm wondering if...

Cheers, I'll have a try tomorrow morning!

Stupid question - where are the bolts for the rear seats - do you get to them from the boot? I've got the long range tank in the boot so I'm not sure if that makes them harder to get to?

SA cars were well specced, I have 325i Saloon, came wit the same as Boomers but with Long Range fuel tank fitted as standard as well, on a good run I can get best part of 400miles out of it!

I'm not sure if the sound proofing is as good though, my Touring seems a lot quieter?

Really easy to fit, just plug in and play, not sure how much they go for at the moment though

Cheers, this is one of the jobs for the weekend especially with all this frost and fog, need heater to work for inside and outside moisture!

Cheers, I'll have to give that a shot when I get home this weekend although I think that the speakers fitted in the shelf might hinder this a little bit will have to see how they are connected in the boot. Are the bolts that I need to remove obvious? - just asking because the Haynes manual is useles...

With the switch on I've got 12V between the terminal and all the elements on the screen have a reasonable resistance it's just the connections that look dirty. I can't get to them with the rear shelf in the way - how do I get it out? Do I have to unscrew the rear seat backs or can I slot it out some...

Bought a good second hand exhaust system from SPADGE. Helped me get the thing apart to fit in my car and provided a few rags to protect my car which I forgot myself. No haggling over the price agreed before I travelled 140miles to pick it up.

Thanks!:thumb:

What badge is missing?

So what type of steering wheel is this:

I had the big wheel on my Touring, thought it wasn't too bad but I want to know which one's the better one to keep?

I disagree, 6 cylinder engines including 320 and 325 have twin system as far as I've seen - pretty sure!

If you want people to hear you coming Scorpion is great and it's got a nice burble at low revs, otherwise stick with something slightly more standard to be a bit more discrete

Changed over the wash/wipe module in the fuse box this evening and now the stalk operates the intensive wash cycle. Not sure it's operating the right pump :? but I can just change around the connections also... not sure the wipers are - they were working before. Otherwise SUCCESS :D Thanks for the h...

Just noticed the RealOEM diagram doesn't number the hex spanner and white thing in the bottom right of Smithy's pictures

pic and part numbers:

Thanks for the parts list

I did have a look at RealOEM which in combination with the pics from Smithy should enable me to get the tool kit up to scratch - just got to go and get some CLIT BANG and get some pink cleaning gloves on!

Anybody interested in Scorpion mid and back box connected to BMW front section in exchange for a good condition standard BMW 325i exhaust?

Just thought I'd ask here since there are some Scorpion supporters?

I believe you might be able to fit them together although I wouldn't recommend it. Although the pipes under the car look very similar in size they are actually a slightly different diameter. I've got a 320 system on my 325i Touring from the manifold back. It works ok but my fuel consumption has gone...

Genius, that's the Haynes I've got, I'll have a look when I get back home tomorrow and change the fuse box module over and see if I can't get it working.

Bump!

Help please

I agree with Matt. When I removed the OBC from my saloon I just shorted the 2 pin connection with a piece of wire and the card started fine.

Hope it works
