Servicing help in Surrey
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2008 6:29 pm
Hi
I own a 1989 320 auto cabriolet and am technically pretty naff when it comes to general servicing of my E30.
I was hoping to find a fellow E30 fan who lives within roughly 20 miles of me (Walton on Thames, Surrey) who would be able to do a basic service / tune of the car for £ cash. There is nothing really wrong with the car apart from when it starts (always first time even when its 2 weeks since its last use) the car has to fully warm up before moving off or there is a slight hesitancy / lull whilst moving off. This makes it a little difficult to drive out onto the road into moving traffic. I had the car chipped with a proper chip off the Zone a while ago and all seemed when at the time. I do have the original chip if needs be but as everyone knows the 320 auto can wasn't the fastest but that isn't why I drive it.
Any help or offers would be very much appreciated. My E30 isn't my day to day car as I have a boring company car so getting it somewhere and leaving it for a day or so isn't a problem.
It would be great to get the car firing on all six cylinders again and squeezing every little bit of performance out of the fantastic solid and reliable engine.
Cheers for now
