Just read the servicing article and its great for those DIYers out there, dont wanna make a fuss but RHS and LHS is if you are in the car not standing infront of it, please dont take this the wrong way, deal with this everyday and people get confused. Great articles, nice to see when people take time to do things.

is the rear touring headrest applicable to coupes or not?

The seats are different but the principal is the same. A headrest fitting kit is required for coupe's.

Basic m40 servicing is just what i need right now. cheers Adam.

[E30Adam]

Mark/Simon,

If you could whizz them over to me adam@patchton.freeserve.co.uk then I'll put them up now.

Cheers

Adam,

Maybe im asking a bit much here, but il be cheeky anyway

but could you ask one of the m42 geniuses on here, (namely demlotcrew ), to put up an article about advancing cam timing on an m42 engine, if it isnt to much trouble. (The sprocket is already adjustable on the m42.) I want to do this mod as its free and affects low revs apparenlty but i dont no where to start!

Just a thought as most the m42 boys on ere dont even no they have adjustable sprockets

Adam, I didn't keep a copy, I did ask Steve if he still had a copy, then I deleted it.

I am in the middle of another though, which is a brake pad/disc change, which is awaiting pics, which I will be doing when I change the brakes on the M3 after christmas.

Adam, are we having some christmas decoration on the zone this year!?

[Jamesb318is]

Good idea 318-is, i like the sound of that!

[E30Adam]

318-iS: If you can get someone to do an article, then I'll put it on the zone. You'll have to talk them into it though

Si: I'll double check with Steve, I've rooted through my emails and can't find any trace of it. I will have another look though.

The more articles the better, just PM me to make sure I receive them as a lot of my stuff seems to get trashed by my spam filter

Chrombo deccies should be on the way lads just gotta work out where the main site graphic is saved on the server

[Dan318-is]

decorations arent meant to be up until 12 days before christmas anyway

adam, il PM demlot or ask around, and let you know thanks mate

I must be blind but i don't see this in tech articles section

1. Ignition barrel removal
3. Basic M20 servicing
4. Basic M40 servicing

Can't wait to see the rear drum to disc conversion, I d like that to do on my car

[ndg]

Am I being thick, I can't see either of the servicing guides, though I can see the others? Am I looking in the right place? M20 servicing would be really useful right now!

[gazza]

Cheers fella, trying not to get too involved in moderating because I'm a person who say's exactly what I feel which is not always the best approach and it winds people up

Will just be putting some work into developing the site further and being a bit more active on the forum which isn't easy because I only have a couple of hours a day at most.

[Dan318-is]

a couple of hours is all it takes

i think a lot of people appreciate the effort to keep the site moving forward

all we need now is some xmas goodies
