Hurray!, problem solved, though i've no idea how i did it, rubber boot leading to the inlet manifold removed and checked, no leaks, disconnected the 'Idle air stabliser valve' (which is linked to the left of the rubber boot) i cleaned the contacts and a spray of WD40, put it all back together and he...

Thanks for all the advice, didnt get to look at the car today as visitors turned up for the day and forcing cider down my face. so will let you all know how i get on with car tomorrow..... Now back to the cider

Thanks Toby, will do. I'm praying your right cos it will mean a cheap fix

Thanks again

Thanks matey, I'm gone have a good look at the problem tomorrow and hopefully will get a few suggested fixes

As for the "Houston we have problem" thats one of several nick names i have been blessed with, today it seems the most suitable.
Thanks for the advice.

Can any one help please? I have an '88 325i cab that has come out from winter hibernation 2 weeks ago, running fine until today! I've driven it for 1/2 hour then it was parked for about an hour. When i started her again she idled at 1200rpm and not the usual 800 or so At idle it revs briefly to 1500...

The content will be invalueable when i attempt to deal with a minor rust patch in the 'A' pillar of my M3. Hoping to make a start this winter.

Thanks Adit, Ordered item Monday, I sent the cheque Tuesday and the item turned up on Thursday! How good is that for prompt service?!!!! The leather handbrake lever was exactly what I wanted, It was in excelent condition and a very reasonable price. Keep up the good work and I'm sure to be having mo...

Thanks for the photo bucket advice, I've only just got the hang of tinyPic, wont post any more pics until i truely know what I'm doing

Thanks for the comments, and the advice NayC. going to get original BBS's on 16" if i can, with out blowing the overdraft! First things first lets get it purring properly........ all the time!! otherwise some idiot in a Pug 106 is gunna take me on at the lights and probably win!!

They're Schnitzer ones? They're not my thing. Don't look too bad, but could be better. IMO cross-spokes on M3s don't work. 11 spoke look cool. Yes, previous owner had them refurbished 3 times before he was happy with them, shame the car hasnt got its originals (germany build sheet shows it had genu...

You're my hero!!!!! I've worked out how to do it !! who says you cant teach an old dog new tricks! Thanks for the comments about the car. Only owned it for 2 weeks and very time it get in it I have a hugh cheesey grim that makes my jaw ache! Now got t o sort the problem with the car, if you take it ...

Thanks, i've just used 'freeimage hosting' seem to have succeeded now just have to work out how to make the image a bit smaller and then customise it a little Thanks again ,I'll try tinypic now thanks again

Thanks for the above, Is the link you posted 'imageshack' cos if it is it dont look anything like the site I've been visiting

I give up ... I'm going for a blast in the car, easier and much more fun. Thanks for your help

has this worked ? probably not

Now saying "URL of remote avatar not valid" when i try to load it into my profile. God I hate computers... give me a car engine any day!!!!
Are there any other image hosting sites that are idiot proof?

Help! despite many attempts to use a pic of my latest toy as my signature. I've now got as a signature an image relating to IMAGESHACK.
I've follwed all the advice on the forumhelp pages but I'm not getting very far.
Any sensible advice for this IT idiot would be gratefully recieved

Can anyone offer me some advice. Recently purchased a late M3 which has not been used much in the last 2 years, also didnt have very much fuel in it (pssibly stale) Car runs fine up to 4000 rpm , no misfire etc. But when you give it a bit of right foot the car initally responds very well then the th...

thanks for your help, you were right a very slight break in the fuse number 21. That was the easiest electric fault i've ever fixed!!! Usually shout ,curse followed by an expensive trip to the auto electrician, very grateful.

Thanks, will have a look now, only taken an hour to change my avatar size!

I 've been trying to install a radio/cd unit in my Sport. I've caused an electrical short behind the radio opening of the dashboard. I check the fuse box and found that fuse no 28 (30amp ) had blown which i have replaced. Unfortunately the following things are still not working: Rev Gauge Fuel ecomo...

Thanks, will take a closer look at the headlamps, dont recall seeing such coloured pipes, and certainly none attched to the switch. sounds like i should leave well alone and get a different panel.

Help required, newbie to the zone and currently putting a '89 dolphin grey sport back to standard. On the panel under the steering wheel is a switch which I believe adjusts the angle of headlamp beam, (say if you are carring a heavy load and you're doing an immpression of a WW2 search light.) Well t...

I've put genuine 16" alpinas on mine, had to buy another car to get 'em and another Ã‚£160 to have them refurbed. Car drives real well on them and you can lock the centre plate aswell as the wheel studs. Good luck trying to find a set tho!
