Got a load more shiney bits for it, including a new washerbottle which for some reason doesnt fit as well as the original one

it touches the 318is coil pack.

Also got a new spark plug cover as mine was just painted with touch up pen which has now worn off, also got a new timing chain tensioner, e30 door lock service kit, little pulg for fog lights, a few door bump trims as two of mine has gone all discoloured and faded and i cant get them to look as good as the others. also a few other bits and pieces, filter for washer bottle etc

old v new (forgot to take a pic after i had fitted it

)

couple of snaps i took, i waxed it with chemical guys petes 53 wax

think i'am going to wait till weather warms up before i respray front valance and IS lip as i will be doing it outside and i will get a better finish.

Got some replica dealer numberplates on the way and ive got a cruise control kit for it

Things on the list are to get inlet and rocker cover powder coated and injectors ultrasonically cleaned

was on parts auction for £6 and since my drivers door only locks on dead locks and is a bit stiff i thought i would give it a try, it looks like the whole lock mechanism in a bag

WOW thats really cool. My door lock can be problematic! May have to get me one of them!

Has it got a part number?

Post Sun Dec 13, 2009 9:53 pm

dont know, looks like something that has been sat in a dealers for 20 odd years to be honest, just need to look at the box and instructions

Pn on box is : 51 21 9 556 314

Most likely

inside the bag it has the key barrel thing, black surround, millions of springs and pins

i must have to match it up with my exsisting lock to ensure my key works in it

OH good luck with that!

I can see the wanted ad in about a week "I buggered up my lock and now need a new complete lock set"

Yup, miss the e30 scene. Wouldnt dream of owning one here. You wouldnt be able to leave it anywhere without it being stolen.

Plus theyre all totally fucked. Rust free but shagged.
