both awesome cars! wngine looks well in there!

lovely mate

motorfactors must have had 1/2 a day today cos it was closed and I didn't want to go to halfords lol

It'll have to wait till monday!

yea just 40mm, more pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/slinky2000 ... 794179852/

cheers for the advice folks, I'm away to the motor factors now to try and get the oil, allen key and filler thing if the bottle doesnt have one already on it

surely when there no leak, that means no rust

they are indeed. Thinkin of changin them though, everyone else has got them lol

It seems ok, oil just hasn't been changed in a long long time and I'd like to atempt it by myself

good tip sid! never thought of that lol, I don't have wickes near me, just a motor factors then a halfords down the road.

ok so it looks like I just need the allen bolt type/width. I tried all mine but none are big ewnough so I'll to purchase a new one/set.

ok had a look at this and its something I think I can attempt myself Looks like a unscrew the bolts let oil drain out, fit the bottom one again and refill oil to the level of the top bolt and then replace?? ok: What oil? What size allen bolt do I need? Is there a special homemade or cheap device tha...

rob, is this the pump in thew wheel arch that can be cleaned? or is it the one in the tank?

lol nice one mate, I just got my machenic to do mine while he was doin a few other jobs.

doh! yea bulb gone!

good question, I'll check now!

Just got the car back from the machenic he replace rear discs and pads and some front bushings.

Now the brake light in the check panel isnt going out. Any simple things to look for or to test? is there a sensor at each brake?

well my si batteries have gone and leaked over everything nearly and everything still works fine

but I wouldn't rukle them out! When you say "flops over to the right " you mean it goes right into the red?

ah now I see what you meant

got ya! cheers

ok thanks I'll have a look tomorrow to see

when you say "Just unscrew the big nut off the water pump" does the pump need to come off?

sorry m20 2.5

Right, the sport went up to about 3/4 ont he temp guage today in traffic and I've never seen it that high before, It never went above half even when stuck in traffic on a hot day. Anyway, I can stop the fan with my hand so I presume the coupling thats the cause of the problem. coolant seems to be pu...

keep pressing those number buttons its one of the combinations, I just cant remember at the mo

ya mines right down to its lowest point now (the bit where it sits when the car is off, right at the bottom of the bit that lights up) and light isnt on yet ...

well I took the sender out and let the fuel out and walla, light came on, stuck it back in and light went out, so its just my fuel guage is a bit funny, not to worry as long as I know how many miles per tank I can get I'm AOK!

mine never been over the 1/4 mark, been like that for the 2 years now that I've had it.

and if it doesn't light up does that mean a fooked level sensor?

no e30 to my knowledge came with a little bulb for the temp guage mate, the hole is there alright though

I replaced the bulb so its good so I suspect the sender or maybe a broken connection along the wires somewhere?

I stuck up a thread about testing the fuel light

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... ic&t=91321

the fuel sender connector? or the fuel pump connector?

I'll not blow up If I do that? lol

heres an image

mines similar mate, mine goes down to 3.5L/18miles and stays there even thought I've done another 10 miles or so and no fuel light on. I dunno whats goin on

hi guys, I've a little problem and had it for nearly two years now. ok, Does the low fuel light work off the same line as the clocks and the obc? My fuel guage goes right down below empty and below the light and no light comes on. The obc goes right down to 3.5L/18miles left in tank and then another...

the 5p sounds easier than that lol

Good man, I'll get it checked this weekend

yea I must get it up on a ramp to check. yea juddering when braking although I thought it might be something with warpped discs or similar. Pulling to one side also but I did get my track rod changed a while back and enver got my tracking done so put it down to that.

when turning hard like in reversing into a car space or something I hear a knock from the front. Sounds like a bushing of some sort? Havn't heard it while driving yet

Yea new clutch, release bearing, and a gearbox colar and its all AOK now.
