must admit i have no idea about the differences between tech1's and 2's either!

Would imagine there is a problem with the breathers on the tank mate, certainly not right obviously!

maxfield that was the last owner, ive only had it a month

buying first house

was a scuff on the front bumper been repainted doesnt really show!

naughty

its mine mate lol.

just had an offer accepted on new house so it has to go. very gutted owned it about 2 weeks

thebigone, ingenious!! Proper blue peter

Gary - cheers mate, will probably go and get exactly what you suggested

well the wiper motor was easy, spot the problem

Window switches I looked at and all the wire near the switch looked okay, so other than trying to chase them through to the door I guess theres not a lot I can do?

OMG fpmsl at the peeps taking it seriously

dude you ruined the joke by trying to e30 it!!!

read that a couple of time, think I've got ya.

Will check it out tomorrow hopefully the short is as the switch somewhere!

Cheers Brian

I think it only does it on the way down, basically it always blows when down so im pretty confident in saying that! Car is a 325iSport so thought they all came with leccy windows? Will lever out the switch tomorrow though and get back to you! What's the posibilities then? Im thinking window motor it...

Oh yeah,

it blows the fuse when doing the drivers window up or down, door usually shut not sure if it does it when open.

Brianmoooore you are a gentleman, thank you so much

i shall make sure i post in the right section next time, my apologies

Theo325, clever stuff! Now why didnt I think of that!

I'd like a guide to remove it as well - its redundant in mine now

Any ideas on the following? * Keeps blowing window motor fuses (30A). Previous owner did tell me but its not until I found his pile of spent fuses (about 20 :cry: ) I realised how bad the problem is LOL! He had an auto electrician check it all and apparantly the wiring is fine, he ended up putting i...

Can I do this mod to mine? It's using an e36 M3 box thats the only problem?

At the moment reverse hits the console and sometimes jumps out, need slightly less throw!

Nice to hear of others in the same position, i curse the things daily

Putting the 3.91 in will give you slightly better top end and slightly improved economy at the loss of some acceleration.

Personally i would keep the 4.10 in there!

does it not move at all now?

diff for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£150? where lol!

sounds awful!

you could be right! i do appreciate all the input lads, very much appreciated! the exhaust on there atm doesnt help things as its unbearable @ 70mph due to the noise, which in turn makes it fell like its revving at about 7 grand! Once i get that quietned down (thursday) ill be able to see if a 3.45 ...

I got offered a 3.45 from a z3 but i dont think its going to be low enough for mine still, i wonder if the z3 ever had a 3.25 or thereabouts? essbee, I got the speed off GPS because you are correct, my speedo was quite far out :D 4k isn't far off, I made a bit of a guess at the wheel diamater becaus...

Cheers Stuart, I've got 215/40/16 on there atm, I worked it like:

3.91 (diff) x 1.00 (5th gear ratio) x 336) x 70 / 19.6 (wheel diameter?) and got a slightly high calc!

I'm doing around 4.1-3rpm @ 70mph in 5th checked this morning!

i had aircraft style harnesses on my last car with no probs!

doesnt seem to be any around!! but i agree, i think its gonna have to be a 3.25

From my workings a 3.45 diff will give me 552rpm lower than my current 3.91 @ 70mph
A 3.25 would give 792rpm lower so i think a 3.45 just wont be good enough

Cheers Chris, hoping I can get away with using your 3.45 tbh, as 3.25's are like rocking horse ****!

yeah sorry i meant a custom setup, either by Powerflow or longlife.

I too have heard bad things about powerflow, but having said that i now have one and have had no problems!

Its more down to the franchise than the company in general from what i can see!

Full system?

Why not just go for a powerflow or longlife custom setup?

Dunno mate, previous owners pic!

Is there a calculation to work out what revs i would be pulling @ say 70mph with different ratios?

Say 3.91 = 4k @ 70mph, can i work out what a 3.45 would pull, and also a 3.25 ?

way way way too loud!
