Damn e36!

[bmw9818]

overheated and conked out earlier, no where to pull over, with miles of traffic so stopped and started it along, until the shitty halfrauds battery also decided to call it a day!

it went into a the red a few times where i shut it off, then pulled into a layby using the remaining power and bunny hopping it on the starter.... not the day to break down especially!

hopefully its not blown are M44s usually tough?

back to the e30!

[bmw9818]

was looking good at the side of the road though!

As long as there was coolant in it and you didnt keep driving while it was in the red, you should be ok.

[bmw9818]

cool, should be okay then! pick it up tomorrow and drive it back when theres no traffic,

yeah the wheels + the avus blue did it for me! all that bargainz for £650! but looking to spend a £450odd to get it up to scratch, only small bits and pieces, otherwise its fairly sound,

very immaculate no chips, scuffs or scrapes interior is equally good got 190k though,

Thermostat stuck closed?

[bmw9818]

nah most likely fan clutch, ordered one earlier at the roadside! cools down when it gets going, just in traffic, do the newspaper test 2mro to confirm.

Mine has electric fans

Mart.

Will only have a clutch fan if its an Auto, and even when clutch fan is very weak they only really overheat in summer time.

My money is still on a stuck thermostat.
