Superleggera. I have just PMd you

Hi
I have a 1985 323i and the NiCad batteries on the SI board have leaked. Can you help with a replacement board?

Does anyone know anything about these?

Could this be a replacement part for my SI board?

Hi, I have just pulled out my clocks on my 1985 323i as the service indicator wasn't working. I suspected the batteries were flat as it has been stood for a long time. It was the batteries but they have leaked and the acid has damaged the board. I have been looking around for a replacement but I am ...

I've just been doing up a 1985 323i and have got to the exhaust. I have replaced the downpipe and the centre silencer but I am looking for a good replacement rear silencer. I would like something stainless that doesn't sound like some boy racers car with holes drilled in it. I'm not too fussed about...

Yes the cam belt is intact and turning the cam shaft happily. It is on my list to change though.

Update. I sprayed brake cleaning fluid into the air intake and still no firing. What I did notice was that it sort of fires when it first turns over, then nothing. The manner it turns over is like there is very little compression; imagine how it turns over when there are no spark plugs fitted. It's ...

I replaced the fuel pump and put a new fuel filter in but i didn't think that the fuel going off would cause it not to start. I'll give it a go. That actually makes sense as when it is turning over it of fires. I couldn't work out how there could be fuel in the cylinders, a good spark and next to no...

It last ran about 16yrs ago! The tank is about 3/4 full. I know the octane levels drop over time but I would have thought it would be good enough to run. The car is pretty immaculate as it's been garaged all that time so things like timing I doubt will have changed in any way. Do you know anything a...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give it a go later.
I'm pretty confident about the spark plug lead order but i will check.
Another thing I read about is the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Again, I don't really know how to check to see if it is ok.

Hi, I am trying to get a 323i started and have replaced a couple of things, it has fuel coming out of the injectors, there is a spark but it won't start. I have read lots on the internet and think it may be one of the following: ECU.... Don't know how to confirm this. ICV.... But I think by just pre...

The cam belt is on my list of things to do. I know there is a risk which will hopefully not become a reality!! The car is immaculate. It has just been sat there since the owner died 16yrs ago and has only done 12,500miles . So I imagine the timing is ok. I have had the spark plugs all out and connec...

Hi all. I'm after some help. I'm trying to get a 1985 523i started which has been in a garage for 16yrs. I have replaced the spark plugs, and there is a good spark, had all the injectors out and they all seem to operate as they should with fuel spurting out nicely. However, when you put it all back ...

Thanks for the help. I will hunt it down in the most inaccessible place on the car!

Hi, This is my first post so please be gentle. I have trying to get a 1986 323i up and running after sitting iin a garage for 15yrs. I have checked the spark and it's ok but there is no fuel to the injector rail or the fuel filter. I have bridged the relay and that still hasn't turned the pump so i ...
