Backing plate rubbing if bent/rotten?

[Alex]

Possibly i guess, got to tackle the locking wheel bolts first, i dont have the "key"

They cause more hastle then they're worth them things

[Dezzy]

Is it a BMW one Alex? Which type?

[Alex]

Looks like some cheap £5.99 ones dez

[Dezzy]

[leeparkes]

[Rav335uk]

oh nice looking wiring cover

[DanThe]

Looks like you could fit an M3 panel on that battery tray Alex

[Alex]

Looks like you could fit an M3 panel on that battery tray Alex

ive got one

wires got in the way and wanted to get the zaust done



Didnt need that back bit Mick to fit the wiring loom covers you rip off merchant

[Alex]

Finished exhaust today, however seems quite loud ? is this because the exhaust technically is not made for that engine ?

Also the down pipes knock of the bodywork

anyway i can now MOT it, not convinced it will pass but hey ho







not happy with the way the front sits but its missing the bracket



M3 battery panel wont fit with a diesel washer bottle so i used the small 4 pot wiring cover





had a look at the grinding noise, there was a bolt that had came out to hold the caliper on managed to to a temp repair for mot

[Alex]

Here is a video sounds shit to be honest, not convinced the engine is running right either, i'am wondering if its got the right temp sensor in?

Click Picture

[johnl320]

3 out of 6 cylinders aint bad I suppose.

[Alex]

Running on 3 do you think ?

[johnl320]

Mate that should be smooth as silk not sounding like my single cylinder 350 motorbike, Deffo not on all cylinders, check leads, plugs and injector loom.

[Alex]

are the injector looms removable on these as thats seen crip connection action aswell

[leeparkes]

Bub bub bub bub bub bub bub....

As john said it should be silky smooth, very similar to M20.

[leeparkes]

Pull the plugs and see what they say.

[Alex]

Will be another week before i get chance to do more now

[Alex]

If i got the crank sensor and the injector thingy the wrong way round would it start ?

[leeparkes]

Pull a sicky at work.

[leeparkes]

If i got the crank sensor and the injector thingy the wrong way round would it start ?

No.

[Alex]

If i got the crank sensor and the injector thingy the wrong way round would it start ?

No.

Its not that then, i'am wondering if its something ive done or has always been like that, it is hard to tell with the old exhaust system

[leeparkes]

Are the plug leads on the right plugs?

[Alex]

Probably not going by other things ive seen, how do you tell from the dizzy cap side which is what plug

Also does plug 1 start at bulk head and go out or is it the other way around

[E30BeemerLad]

#1 at the front of the engine Alex

[Alex]

Cheers Lee will have to check that

Hope i can have it running right for York

When i remove the oil cap nothing changes, so must have an air leak too

[magpie]

stick ya finger in plug 1 when it's running ,that'll wake you up

[Alex]

stick ya finger in plug 1 when it's running ,that'll wake you up

I value my fingers

[leeparkes]

Dizzy cap will be identical to an M20 one (same part number) number 1 is nearest the dizzy and 6 is nearest the bulk head.

Cant remember the order they fit on but the numbers should be printed on the cap somewhere.

[magpie]

i meant the plug lead,doesn't hurt..........honest

[Alex]

What else is worth checking, can faulty temp sensors cause it to drop a few cylinders ?

[leeparkes]

For a start it looks like you have M20 type leads on it, where they connect to the dizzy they should be angled like this.



They may be aftermarket? to test the leads they should read between 5-6K ohm from end to end. King lead should read under 2K ohm.

Situations like this you need the car on your drive so you can mess when you have a spare 5 mins, light nights FTW.
