Need Help............. Morning fellow E30 lovers. My car is seriously poorly and after exhausting the technical help section for a diy fix i have gave in.

Was just wondering if there is anyone local that would possibly be able to pop round and look at my car or if someone could recommend a garage near me? i live in Sunderland Tyne & Wear.

Many thanks lads.

There are still plenty of things we can suggest for your car, but you never reported back on testing:

Blue Temp Sensor
Air Leaks
Throttle Position Switch
Condition of Spark Plugs

There's a logical series of tests, but we can only narrow things down if we know some results.

For starters, get a compression test on all cylinders, and as you remove each spark plug, note the condition of the tip (toasty brown, clean white, smoky black, any signs of damage or decay of the electrode). We can progress from there.
