[town325i]

the car needs to be moving before the speedo will work as you 14 you wont be able to test it TURN THE CAPS LOCK OF PEOPLE WILL THINK YOUR SHOUTING

[armanib]

oh sorry and yer ino it has to be moving i have drove it before but other day dad was driving it and the speedo doesnt seem to work and yer its all bled up

[town325i]

try hitting the dash when your moving it may just be stuck from years off doing nothing

[jbh]

Speedo cable and is the system bled up properly?

the e30 hasnt got a speedo cable


check the wires running from the diff sensor these can turn brittle and break through age.

if you look under the back of the car you will the rear drive shafts ( the shafts run to each of the rear wheels ) in the middle of these you will see what is commonly known as the diff. on the rear of this there is a plug with 2 wires connected to it that's the wires you want to inspect

[armanib]

if there broke or snapped what do i wana do

[armanib]

[jbh]

if there broke or snapped what do i wana do

replace them is the easiest thing to do

[jbh]

wait how am i ment to bleeed the radiator so that my heaters work i wana know if im doing it right or not

the 318is can be a pain to bleed. i would normally fill it normally then remove the top hose then pour water down there until its filled up put the hose back on then start the car and remove the bleed screw off the top of the radiator then have it running and keep filling the radiator until there's no bubbles coming out the bleed screw

[armanib]

YER I TRIED UNDOIN THE SCREW ON TOP THEN RUNNING IT BUT NOTHING COMING OUT SO IM ABIT STUCK BUT IT MIGHT NOT BE FULL AND WHERES THE TOP HOSE? ILL GET SOME MORE PICS TOMOROW IF ITS NOT COLD AND DOES ANYONE HAVE A 318IS WISHBONE OR WANA SWAP GREY LEATHERS FOR BLACK ONES

[bmpaul]

dont forget to turn your caps OFF! u nutter

[armanib]

oh sorry and yer might no be enough water as i did it at like 3 in da morning when it started to get cold and had a masive hedache so i rushed it.
does anybody want to buy them leathers as there currently in my way

[armanib]

I tried to show some of the damage done im in need of a wishbone if anyone has one

[anisotropy]

Buy one from euro car parts or German, french and swedish car parts. They're not dear and not worth buying used. Nice looking leathers I'd be interested if I wasn't about 300 miles away!

edit: just realised you mean back one - so a trailing arm I guess. Zone for sale will be up soon, should be easy to get one.

[mr_dink]

Radiator bleeding -

If possible park the car with the front end slightly raised.

with engine off, completely remove radiator bleed screw.

Fill the radiator up to the very brim and keep filling it until water comes out of the hole in the rad, and the bubbles stop.

Put the screw about halfway back in.

Start the car. You need to hold the revs at about 2000 rpm (you can rev it using the throttle body on top of the engine if you don't have an assistant) you will notice a jet of water coming out of the screw. Hold the revs up until this jet is constant (to start with it will be intermittant as air is still coming out.) Then tighten up the screw.

Remember that the heaters won't be hot until the engine is warm.

Speedo, have you checked the fuses, they're in the engine compartment. Look for one with the metal bit broken.

Car looks like it has potential, I have a black IS myself with a scrape in the same place!

[armanib]

A1 BMW have a wishbone for £40 gonna go get it just need the weather to get abit nicer so i can do it, Was gonna take it off the day it snowed which pissed me off. Oh on my rad it has a bottle where you see how high the water is , it has little lines all the way to the top and half way it has a lien that goes full around it and says kraft above i think it says kraft and it says cold under which i filled it up should i of filled it right to the top line

Yep,I had that shit pot Mini with swiss cheese spec body work,in tasteful white and contrasting brown interior. Genuine 30k on the clock and one owner from new. I got it when I was 15 ish and spent loads of time on it,then that bitch step mother called the scrap man

Carefuly read mr dinks instructions and follow them. It might well be a good idea to invest in a workshop manual for your car. That way there will be pictures and good descriptions on how to do a lot of the jobs you want to do.

Great 1st car btw, I had a 1.3 Maestro (I bet you dont even know what one of them is).
