I've attached 2 images, got or had an oil leak. Any ideas what would cause the bell housing to be caked in oil? (Rear main seal just replaced before taking the pic) but leak looks like it may be from below distributor? Would that cause oil to get into the bellhousing? And so much of it at that.

Sorry my bad didn't read the description under the part numbers one mentions square headed bolt.

I've cut them out. Can't find the part number for the square headed bolts on realoem or 7zap. The transmission mount bracket looks slightly different on the diagram. Any idea what the part number is or how to go about getting replacements?

Hi, I have an E30 M10 318i prefacelift
What's the best way to remove the cross member at the back of the transmission?
The bolts just keep spinning, tried just taking mounts off hoping to manouvre it out but no luck the crossmember is in the way.

I am after a working fuel sender unit no silly prices.

Any idea on size of connector that I need to get for either end?

Hi,

I have just changed my fuel tank but the middle connection below the propshaft was completely corroded, I don't want to pay the silly price for a new one.
Any recommendations on where to get a cheaper alternative, maybe a stainless steel braided hose that fits etc?

Ok so little update I removed the afm opened it up gave a clean with electrical contact cleaner and reinstalled now throttle response is there up until 3k revs then starts going upto 3500 then drops down to 3k up and down even though throttle is fully down throughout. So it was the afm? Thinking to ...

Yes I have checked under the car, instead of a fuel filter I just have a short metal pipe. Filter is now on order, not sure why someone would just put a pipe there like that considering the filters are so cheap. There is a fuel pump there which does make a noise when cranking. I tried starting it li...

checking on google seems the fuel pump relay is the single relay above the front passenger arch. I haven't done anything with this. How do I test it?

I'll check the plugs after work, the only work done on fuel system was injectors cleaned, new hoses that go on top of tank and the one going to the tank. Fuel sender Unit was also changed recently. That's the only things done regarding fuel.

Hi, I have a 318i m10 preface lift fuel injected. Porblem: When I start the car it doesn't hold revs and just cuts out. I have tried pressing the accelerator pedal most of the time it won't be responsive as in revs won't go up and doesn't hold revs and dies. The times it is responsive it will only b...

E30 M10 318I, I had recently (long time ago, but never actually driven the car since) Bled the brakes as I put new (rebuilt) front calipers on both sides. Put the pedal box back in. The brakes feel stiff when car is idling but when I start driving the pedal goes straight to the floor and barely even...

Hi, could I get part number for the serpentine belt for my car... Reg: GL05 0ZA

And the length of it too as I purchased one before vrm matched but it's too long.

Thank you. Paid.

part number: 11 61 1 717 286

Car reg: E216 UBW

I am after price for the gasket that goes between cold start valve and inlet manifold.

Found the problem. It was a connector behind the glovebox had somehow managed to come out. Reinserted it and all is well. Thanks for all the help really appreciate it.

My car was sat in my garden since November. I haven't messed with any fuses or relays or anything electrical. Just decided to get it MOT'd so I can start driving it only to find this electrical problem out of the blue.

I have tried a new flasher module still no luck.

My m10 seemed to misfire at one point. Garage fixed it for free something about water in distributor cap iirc. Maybe worth a check see how healthy the cap looks inside.

still nothing? Also tried swapping relay for high beam/ low beam but still low beam headlights not working and fog lights not working. Lights don't show on cluster either.

Brian did you manage to find any possible cause/solution? I've tried swapping relays over in engine bay like for like but no change either. The rear heated screen button also doesn't work.

The other test to connect red/ white to blue/red or red/white to blue/black does nothing.

Sorry just checked again. I was looking at indicators at the front when doing the test my bad. The rear indicators do come on when connected from battery + to the green yellow on steering column.

No the ones on outside of car weren't lighting. Just the ones on cluster.

Yh the one for each direction. So left when indicating left and right when indicating right. Would this mean the module in steering column needs replacing then?

Ok from battery to green/ yellow wire on module makes the green bulb light up.
Hazard switch is removed at time of check.

Still nothing. The horn was working though is that connected to same module?

Tried what you said Brian, still nothing different. What would this test suggest then?

Switch contacts seemed good. Sprayed with electric contact cleaner and scrubbed anyway. No difference. Best to replace switch?

The high beams are working. I'll let you know of an update tomorrow evening if i get the time to clean the switches.

I'll give the hazard switch clean a try. My fog lights are not working either. Pretty much front end lights all don't come on. Don't even light up on the dash to show they're on as well. Although other lights on dash work i.e. brake light. Rear brake lights work too. I've been doing a bit of googlin...

Any idea which relay and where it is?

i have a prefacelift 318i m10.
the front headlights, indicators and hazards don't work.

Would this be down to a relay, fuses or something else?
