Mark's E34 project

Recommended Posts

Also, I have quite a bad case of "wiper knock" where the wiper arms come into contact with the edge of the bonnet. I've got the writeup on how to replace the wiper rack (looks painfully difficult), but does anyone know if these things can be reconditioned or if I just have to try my luck with a second hand one that hopefully has a lot of life left in it?

this is a known issue with e 34s....i cant quite remember where my links are to the fix(es).This is a great place for E34s

I have the fix for it.... Just psyching myself up to do it as it's a mammoth pain in the arse to do.

New today - two new Pirellis to pass a WOF and the Pelican Parts order has been shipped.

Now to get it running again, fuel pump is dead and so is battery. Just gonna have it towed to the mechanic to get everything sorted so I can start driving it in this nice weather.

Been back thru the thread. Such a good looking car Mark. Makes me miss all my E34's really badly!

Let me know if you ever think to sell ;)

Nah, just going to the mechanics because I don't have the patience or ability to fix it myself.

That sure is a Tidy E34, got it back on the road yet?

I have parts sitting around for my E30 (Looked like a similar order from Pelican Parts).

Had a crack at cleaning the leather using the Lux Soap flakes method used by CSET and central3.

Turned out great.
