Gave her a right good buffin, then took her up to the BMW Meet in scone, involved lots of bugs un things so I'll be giving her a seeing to this weekend

, will post pics soon enough, was really pleased with the results tho, thinking of investing in a buffer machine, I was knackered

Hi My lecy hood seems to catch on the passenger side when opening and closing, the hood cover lifts and just catches the frame, wondered if anyone else has this or what steps you take to lube yours up ! as I know its an expensive job to sort when it goes, so im trying to be a bit proactive 8) cheers...

Thanks to M3ben05 and Jon, cheers good advice as always

nice work andy, she'll be mint after you've finished the extra jobs...starting to come round to the red paint job too !!

Hi y'all ! Got some zaino goods in the post today, gonna give the beast a good seeing to over the weekend and then gets some pics up of her !!! I got Z1, Z2-pro, Z7, Z8 and Z-PC 2 microfibre cloths and an applicator pad (theres goes a Saturday night out), the delivery was super fast by the way. What...

I have a clifford on my cab. Have a proximity sensor so if anyone gets too close it chirps. Also can arm it with roof down, without fear of any wind level disturbing it. Sounds like the sort of thing Im after did you get it fitted or was it already on the car, just that i would like to know what mo...

Thatcham isnt an alarm manufacturer, they are a company that rate alarm systems and govorn them. i.e. Cat 1, cat 2 etc... Toad arent bad, but really it comes down to who you get to install it, 90% of issues with alarms come from shoddy installation, get a good installer and you wont have a problem ...

Thats very true...but not very helpful

im putting a tracker on it too, if they do get hold of it 'll find em

Hi just wondered what peoples opinions are on the best alarm for my cabriolet, had a look at a few and toad seems pretty good. Need something that imobilises the car and allows me to remote lock/unlock the car...if this is possible !!

Thanks John, if i go ahaead and purchase the discounted package you put together from acp would i need any more cloths as it seems people are purchasing quite alot. My car is on a 91 plate would i need to de-oxidise before using any of these products.....btw what does de-oxidising actually do Thanks...

cheers w17led, but I'm up in edinburgh, it'd cost me that price twice in fuel to get down

Hi - I've had a look at a few topics relating to car cleaning using zaino etc. Is the premium option the best Ã‚£169 ? or Go for the cheaper one and buy your cloths Do you need 1 cloth for each product or is it ok to wash and re-use. How come some members are buying : 1x Waffle 1x Plush 1x Mitt 2X A...

Has anyone used Zainos "Leather in a bottle" as apposed to liquid leathers, looking to do mine soon

Off topic, but any chance you could bring a spark plug tool to the rolling road day on Sunday please!? I want to change them before hand.
What RR day and where?

that post was left in June last year, this is quite an old topic

nice one, cheers bill

website link no longer works, are we ordering from the states website ?

thanks for all the responses, I think Im gonna take the view that a little investment is needed to get the car inmint condition, the fact that the car has only done 50k, which is oneof the lowest i've seen i think its worth that extra bit of cashto get it fixed, plus its still stock which is how i l...

Thats a real shame this was a nice motor 325 cabo low mileage on a j plate. The brake disk issue shouldn't be a problem, but the white residue is a worry, the residue was only very small could this be the start of the problem do you think ? If its a cracked head gasket how much would this cost to fi...

Hi All , just been to see an e30, couple of things i was concerned about was that there was slight white residue on the plastic bottom of the dip stick (not a great amount) And under breaking the car shuddered alittle, everything else was mint. The car has done 200 miles since its last service @ a B...

Suppose there's no point in attempting anything like this with a 318iC then ? Just looking at the cheapest option. New plant could cost up to a grand

Hi All I bought the haynes manual a while ago for what i thought was my car 1992 318i M40 Cabo (Kplate), it had the picture of the e36 on it, but i thought is was more to do with the engine so didnt matter. I was tyring to change the fuel injectors and the manual was all wrong(for my car anyway). Wo...

v.v.v.v.nice...

Well done for all the work admins, great to be back

No problem with paperwork - DVLA just require an update on engine size, and no problems at all with the right insurance company. DVLA actually get more excited about fitting smaller engines, as they suspect you may be on the fiddle regarding road tax band! To find airleaks on the induction side, I ...

Thats about the same mileage as i would expect. I've printed off a few articles from the zone regarding missfires, including a a recent one where you had a suggestion of an airleak, he's tried then all, apart from stripping the engine !! :evil: Is there lots of paper work with the DVLA and insurance...

Thanks Brian, With this being the pre-facelift model, would i be right in assuming that the mileage on most of these enginess would be quite high. Not too fussed but I need to get my engine out asap, its had a miss fire for 6 months and my mechanic cant figure it out. He says the next stage is rippi...

Thought I'd highjack/piggy back this post. Was thinking of doing the same to my 318i M40 Cab, heard they werent the best engine ever produced by BMW. Is it just a case of dropping the engine in the car and all connections are the same. Sorry but i'm just as much in the dark about these things, its j...

Hi Fuzzy, not far from you mate. Just up from the Fire Station towards the bings. 92 318i Cabo in the garage at the moment. Driving round in my golf, which is going as soon as the car is fixed

I'm Fae Broxburn too, although you wont see me in my motor coz its been in the garage for 6 months having a bl00dy miss fire looked at

the 320 airflow meter is not the same as a 318 if you have tapping noises it is likely you will have to change the camshaft / rockers / hydurlic lifters / spraybar as a package as they will all be worn just changing the lifters will have little effect as oil starvation from a blocked spray bar is u...

Hi Awl...I know its been along time but my mechanic has been waiting for an auto electrician to take a look at my car before he did any other work. He still cant find the problem, he says he check everything possible without removing any engine bits !!! The auto sparky suggested that it may be the a...
