Re: Indicator gremlim

Thanks, will give the relay and switch a try. Yeah only the front left is affected, every one else is fine. Bulbs fine. Surely if the holder or earth is dodgy then it would be work with the hazards?

Indicator gremlim

My front left indicator has stopped working when indicating left (but not every time) but works fine with the hazards. Sometimes when I indicate it'll start working normally and half way through randomly stop so the others start flashing at double speed.

Anyone got Any suggestions?

Re: leather dye.

Just the horseshoe and front cards have been dyed, the rest is original as far as i can tell, just need to find some speaker covers and rear cards in better shape as mine are a bit of a faded mess. Cardinal is quite hard to photograph as it always comes out looking a bit brighter than it really is, ...

Re: leather dye.

I'd advise getting a foam roller for the dying, made it easier to get a even finish and turned out much better than i thought it would when i dyed my horseshoe cover! What colour car is it going in?

Re: GSF Brake master cylinder?

Took the risk with the GSF topran part, as the discount was just for a day, and its got a warranty on it. hope it works out!
Haven't got any quotes for fitting yet, just guessed that's what a garage would charge. based in Exeter

GSF Brake master cylinder?

And am i right in thinking a...

Re:

I'd try looking at other places than just on the comparison websites. Aviva was half the price of compare the market for me. I'm 22 paying £370 for a 325I, but do have a few years ncd. Might be worth trying Adrian flux too.

Only reason i'm asking on here instead of just putting them on ebay is that i'm looking to swap them for a cardinal red interior, or similar and just want an idea of value.

Help valuing Motorsport bubble leather interior

So my 325i convertible came with retrofitted Black motorsport bubble leather. I'm not a fan of dark interior on a black car so i am looking to change them at some point. I know these seats are ridiculously rare, only being fitted to the 250 sebrig grey motorsports, and so I'd just like a rough idea ...

Dash lights / illumination

http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/t455/sandberg134/DSC_0271_2.jpg As you can see the dash lights on my 325 are extremely dim/ non existent. I've turned off the headuint so its more clear but basically i have very little dash lights working. the only ones seeming to be working properly are 3 and 4...

Re: Bubble leather or cardinal red interior?

Yeah, tan was another option i was considering, but probably even harder to get hold of without retrimming a set yourself.

What do cardinal red interiors go for, about £800-£1k?

Re: Bubble leather or cardinal red interior?

elan that in unbelievably nice. Is that cardinal red or a non oem colour? The seats are pretty smart, it looks like the leather on the fronts have been retrimmed, just the rear door cards are a bit shabby, and the passanger seat doesn't fold forward. Whats the going rate for these, haven't ever seen...

Bubble leather or cardinal red interior?

Recently picked up my first e30, it came with motorsport bubble leather, but i'm quite tempted by cardinal red as i think it'd suit the black better and bubble leather really belongs in a motorsport! http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/t455/sandberg134/e30%20325i/DSC_0085.jpg http://i1060.photobucke...

Re: Advice please - which cabriolet model?

Yes that is what i was wondering. I have a mk1 MX5 at the moment, so i am used to a little discomfort, but i imagine they are more refined than that!

Gavla could you send me some details, london's not to far from me!

Advice please - which cabriolet model?

Hi all, I've been after an e30 convertible for a while now and finally got round to selling my car. I've got a budget of around £5k. My question is what are e30 cabs like as a daily driver? Do I carry on looking for a 325I for around 5k or do I get a cheaper 318 as well as a runaround for daily use?...
