  1. Cheers GB, i'll claim it on ACC....
  2. cheers guys. What needs to come out from the drivers side instead of the glovebox on the LHD models? also, where do you get the replacement filter?
  3. Hi All, My wifes E36 318is A/C Fan blows bugger all air through the cockpit, even when on maximum. A mate of mine also has the same problem on his E36. Someone once said to me it was a filter behind the dash? Is this true or is it something else? We're moving to CHCH in January, so obviously going to want it for the summer, but more important the winter when i freeze my balls off i want the heater to work very well! Any ideas?

    clutch

    Thats for that information. unfortunately this morning it played up to the point i couldn't drive it, so it is now in with Ernst being looked at. Whats the repair cost on the master cylinder? so i have some idea before he rings me and dont fall over from shock!

    clutch

    hey all, Every now and then when i first get in to the car, and depress the clutch, it goes straight to the floor, and slowly comes back up as if the hydraulic pressure is building behind it. is this normal?? its a E30 318i, manual conversion done by Ernst and Rob at Bavarian. The reservoir fluid is fine, and the clutch is firm and positive once the pressure is up.
  6. cheers mate, might go see ernst see if he has ever got them going. otherwise i'll rip 'em out.
  7. Yeah the E34 ones are electrical (i had a e34 525IASE Motorsport). and yeah you can definately see the difference in them. these ones are annoying me though, cause i keep having to screw them in and out manually. and its not so easy to do when its dark!
  8. nah they dont make any noise. it doesn't look like there is any fluid in the pipes... what the hell sorta fluid does it take though???!! my 3 previous E30's had them working... but not this one....
  9. Hi All, the tilt motors on my headlights haven't worked since i got the car. is this common? i have had to manually adjust the headlights. any ideas on how to get it going?
  10. mate would these fit a M40?
  11. its not any different to E36 Owners putting M3 kits on they're cars. at the end of the day there is a real market out there for people wanting Mtech II Kits. not everyone has the luxury of owning a Motorsport, but they can make their's look just as good. i do agree with you that there is a heap of Beemers (not just E30's) out there with Motorsport kits on them, but at the end of it all, you can still tell a real motorsport apart from an replica. and then there is the pleasure of knowing you can leave any of them for dead! :bowdown:
  12. yeah MP grease works well as well (use it on aircraft when pinstriping) but the problem is because the surface has to be warm the grease/petrol jelly melts and gets into the paint while you're spraying. but if its cold it works well!!
  13. thanks guys, i'll use all your tips and will take photo's once it's done. i remember ernst used to sell them for a small price + the swap of your old one. but i'd rather do it myself. as for red..... hmmm not too sure on that! i thought about blue pearl mica once... but i think i'll stick with the good ol' black
