Hello all E30 peeps!

First post of the mark - loving the look of most if not all the BM's here. My mk1 Golf is on the way out and I'm getting pulled towards an 325i E30 M-Tech Tourer and if all goes well will collect on Friday. :wink:

Only downside is she's an auto which I'm not so sure about - if anyone feels the need to fire some info my way or direct me towards a buyers guide I'd appreicate it.

Is the LSD fooked then?If so itll only cost you around £250 for a decent replacement anyway.

Here's hoping that it's OK though
