Thanks for your response and kind words. I've decided to just leave things as they are for now. I'm apathetic about things and the car is in the garage taking no harm . Probably have another assessment of things in spring. Cheers Jed

Thank you for your kind words. Pics in this thread. viewtopic.php?f=46&t=280834&p=2974187#p2974187

Hi . I have not been able to get to work on my 85 323i coupe. Since losing my dad I have had a bit of low mood. I am in two minds to sell it as a project. It's got 121k on. Engine strong. Interior swapped out for an immaculate one from an SE with matching door cards front and back but the original i...

I have an anthracite coupe interior but drivers seat needs work. There is some cloth spare but you would need more to repair it. Not sports seats though. Passenger seat OK. Door cards OK. Back seat mint. In two minds to keep it but might let it go. Cheers

Mmm interesting for me too as mine had a high idle. Don't suppose you have a diagram of the item you are referring too?

Coming along brilliantly. Made up for you

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Spray carb cleaner all around and see if you can get it to run faster. That will help identify where it is. Also just check the throttle cable is allowing the butterfly to almost close. Best of luck. JED

Keep us updated mate. Looks a great project. Not touched my 323i for a while due to family and work commitments but feel a bit inspired now.

Only the africa one the java one isn't as good

If someone can keep it running spray around the engine with carb cleaner. Then if it revs up you have isolated an air leak. Also clean inside the MAF.

Looks a great car looking forward to seeing more.

None firing cylinder?

Hi there post some pics so we can kick your tyres

I would be interested to know how that works out. My si board is playing up too.

Lovely car

Pop the old plugs and leads back in just to eliminate. If it wasn't there before then something isn't right. Is it timed up perfectly?

Yes make sure it's all lined up. If it runs OK just make tiny adjustments to the timing till it runs most happily, you can use a timing light but I prefer to just listen to it.

Hi made up you got that out. You need to get piston 1 on tdc on the compression stroke and if you take the cap off you can see a little line in the metal distributor base. The rotor arm needs to point at this mark. Hope that helps.

Have you changed the cambelt recently? It's easy to lose tdc when doing the cambelt as the dizzy drive crank can move. Don't ask me how I know this

Have you loosened the clamp.

Brilliant news 8

Blocked exhaust?

Wow that's amazing work!!

Sorry I don't have the depth of knowledge to specifically describe which one it might be but the intermittent fault you had before suggests a relay might have been sticking and has now given up.

Gracias.

Thanks that's great

Thanks for that, do you have a link I can't seem to find it.

My handbrake console has holes drilled in it so I got a used one off ebay. I have been a bit preoccupied and didn't notice the tape holder space in the new console. When it arrived I was a bit annoyed with myself. Anyone got any links to a plastic recess that's a good fit? Or a good cassette holder?...

I am in Cleveleys I have a 1985 323i throttle body if you want to take a look

I think there is a plug in chip that codes the cluster to the engine. A little white plug at the front. Wait till someone with more knowledge replies before buying one for a 325 in case I am wrong

Apologies sorry about the poor advertisement. After talking to a forum member I have decided to to withdraw the advert and store the interior for future use. Thanks Jed

I have some rare used code 0150 anthracite check for sale. Back seat in excellent condition. Also passenger seat in good condition. Some spare material also. I can remove the material and post. Offers via pm. Full interior including good door cards a possibility but drivers seat needs repair and onl...

Did my first ever cambelt change. It was a good learning experience for me. I had real trouble with that flywheel damper but got it off in end. I lined up the timing marks on the damper and cam casing and the cam pulley with the markings. Mine is an early car so have to remove the distributor cap to...
