I have done s earch because I'm sure I'm not the 1st to ask about a heater resister. But the search showed no results.

Can you please quote a price for the heater resister for a e30 325 cab(1992). Cheers :)

I had one fail where the conductor strip broke away (blue circle) the red circle shows the safety cutout - grime and corrosion can cause poor contacts here.

If I'm ever wandering around the scrap yard, I normally liberate them from and E30s I see.

£10 on ebay, you say? :cool:
