You could have done with this last March

I would love to have heard you justifying this turd to the mrs or was it case of "I've bought a new motah bitch, deal with it"

I might try that line on Kelly one day lol!

Simon..... why?!

I know you've had a BAD itch for another turd for a while now but seriously, why this again?

Was it free?

The memory leatherz got him moist , though probably not as wet as the turds carpet !

Not free as such.............but i've got the cruise working and the double sunroofs! Just the Air con to sort on the "options" and the SLS is fucked and a rusty sill, cracked windscreen plus some other minor bits before MOT time. Its a fucking heap but i like it and i don't know why. My missus had the right ache saturday when it turned up. I hadn't told her it was coming back, always worth a giggle! Shes ok now

comfy with a big boot?!

Good spec for an e34

Its been under a tree for 18months

Everyone hates it, shes a beauty

All tips on SLS delete welcome, i've fucked the PAS pump already when i blanked the pump off. Apparently its not the way forward on this. The normal shocks and springs are in the boot ready to fit in replacement.

Can i rip the lot out? I'm getting a non SLS PAS pump to help matters

Ha ha ha ha ha ha that's awesome it fits right in with the council backdrop

I like the the idea of a 4WD E34 touring. It will go very well with the b3 3.2 engine in there.

I would rather say "it will go a lot better with a 3.2"
Heavy bus with a load of 4wd power soak, its never going to be fast with a measly 3200 cc's

Post Mon Mar 31, 2014 1:05 pm

Ive got a rare/epic/strong 'builder spec' boot liner for this Simon

Post Mon Mar 31, 2014 5:20 pm

u never sold it then Dan i could be interested, its not that slow at all really.

No ones deleted SLS then?

Post Mon Mar 31, 2014 5:47 pm

also in need of an windscreen

Post Mon Mar 31, 2014 6:28 pm

TBH id rather repair the SLS than bin it, very useful and the car rides much better than without

Windscreen is easy, just insure it adequately

Post Mon Mar 31, 2014 6:54 pm

I'd keep SLS as well if its not too cost prohibitive. Its very cool feature.

SLS is nice, when working but as the pump is goosed and probably the spheres, pipe work and both rear shocks as well. You have no option but to put a pair of standard E34 rear shocks on it. The SLS springs will be too soft so try and get some standard springs (518/520 touring ideally) and or maybe use some thicker spring pads which I am sure are listed on REALOEM.

Post Mon Mar 31, 2014 9:37 pm

I've got some 540i saloon shocks with some life in them to go on along with some non SLS springs but i can't remember what they are off. It will get me going.

I remember last time i had it the passenger rear shock had a slight leak, the spheres must be gone because it rides rock hard, the pipework is like off the titanic so a torch would be needed to get it all moving. Seems like too much aggro on a sub £1000 car. Delete it and i'll remove it all from the car from the rear and loop it up the front of the car is the consensus. I think the bombs can be bought for £100 each, but the SLS shocks are at least £300 each - m tech ones are much cheaper on realoem?!

Post Thu Apr 10, 2014 9:47 pm

Its grim under this turd, everything is fighting me! this is part of the lower shock that took an age to get out

All this SLS is utterly borked.

I'm in it for fuel and possibly brake lines now. plud brakes and various bushes, She'll be beaut!

Post Thu Apr 10, 2014 10:51 pm

You need help. Seriously.

Post Thu Apr 10, 2014 11:02 pm

Will you help me then?

I'm picking up one of these turds on Monday, avec leatherzzzz, original rims, towbar and lpg.

I'm told it's a good un, time will tell. There appears to have been a flurry of them the last few weeks.

Sellers have given up waiting for snow so are frantically dumping before the turdz revert to being valued by the KG +catz + battery+ intake , which they are for eight months of the year

Post Fri Apr 11, 2014 2:11 pm

Is it a coincidence that scrap is at a low?

So much hating, what's not to like about the last of the E34s in 4wd touring format running on gas....

Post Fri Apr 11, 2014 2:54 pm

i wanted that load liner! Whats the price

Post Fri Apr 11, 2014 2:56 pm

Higher than it was yesterday!

Bidding war starts here.

Post Fri Apr 11, 2014 9:10 pm

I'm not that fussed with this car but if i got my hands on an M5 wagon later on it would be nice

Post Fri Apr 11, 2014 9:20 pm

Just pm'd you the start price Simon

Post Fri Apr 11, 2014 11:11 pm

No chance on that price sorry

Post Tue Apr 15, 2014 9:16 pm

I've removed the entire SLS system i think bar one pipe, i've blanked off

this pipe runs from the diff to the hydro unit in the engine bay i've taken out. I'm guessing it will be ok?

before and after kind of thing

I've fitted a 2wd PAS pump after killing the original

theres alot easier ways to delete SLS but nothing worked on it and i'd of had to replaced the whole system nearly on the rear end bar the copper pipes it had.

I started it up to check the PAS system for leaks and get the fluid level correct and now i've got this traction light on. This car doesn't have traction?! Its up on 4 axle stands but it was in neutral. I'm thinking take the bulb out! The ABS light came on and off as it should as normal or will i have a drama when i get the wheels back on and drive it?! I hope its not linked to the SLS or 4wd system in a way

It needs fuel and brake lines next really
