I'll have the seats when you buy it Brent

You'd be giving it to him after stealing that auction wouldn't you Ray? Great buy.

Only 3 large Phillips Head screws last time I looked Graham?

+3, or the horse.

Check all your electrical plugs are pushed in properly, in particular, the one to the injectors?

I would have guessed driveline as well, most body vibes come from there when you can't feel them thru the steering wheel.

Thought you might have one for me Brent?

Will let the white SA car go for $250. The manual red one for $1000.

No, won't fit a M40, different head and bolt pattern.

I've decided it's time to get rid of some bits, I need the space. Would rather it all went in one hit, but make me an offer, 1 x 320 block, no head, but has intake and exhaust manifolds, and some rocker gear. 1 x 320 complete motor, short block, includes all top as well, was pulled from running car for the manual box. 1 x Sth African 320, white, rusty and dereged, but has goodies like electric sunroof, good cond, cruise control, and obc. Has had some bits removed, like diff. Has good cream interior, no tears. Petrol tanks have also gone. On bottles. Was a driver, auto. 1 x 320 red, 4 door, dereged, but wouldn't take a lot to rereg. Manual, reasonable cond, goes, on proper lowered springs. 1 x manual 240 box, pre f/l bare box only and rear x member. 240.0.0130.90 Any interest out there, pm me with offers? Will list it all on Tm this week.

I'm with Bravo, sounds like the auto's packing it in. Could try changing filter and fluids, but I'd start looking for a second hand one if I was you.

Careful with thinners, can damage the clear coat. Would try cut and polish myself?

Bet that hurts?

Agreed Tell me please, how can you increase revs from 6400 to 7200, and yet decrease speed in a manual in first from 70 to 55kmph? That's about a 12% increase in revs, but a 20% decrease in speed? Guess that logic explains the rest of the thread

Should be framed and hung in a museum.

Facelift reverse lights are horizontal, pre f/l are vertical.

Might as well just cut your dick off.

Yeah, I had a 740i, 1996, off them, I had no problems, and from my experience would say they're OK. Cars are ex Japan, I've since sold it, at a small profit, and not due to any faults.

Would suggest you go new with any hoses, it's not worth the risk to try second hand. Try Ray, or Gavin at Euro-Italian, or dealer.

I, for one, will be very sorry to see you go Mark .If you're sure it's what you want, all the best with the sale. It would have to be the buy of the century for what you're getting, if only it was a 318 Good luck mate. ps, test drives?

Yeah, about 35, but now over 80 on build register counting the Sth Island cars. No major bumps, but a few bruises. At least all 3 of my cars came home untouched

James, what they're saying is that by taking the one hanger bolt out at the back of the diff, a 2 min job, you get the subframe to drop that little bit lower to take the strain off the driveshafts. I've never bothered to do it, and haven't hurt mine yet.

yep, on both counts. Easier to fit new ones if they are lowering springs, but, just get a bar in there and lever the old ones out.

James, drop the bottom shock bolt out and the whole lot should drop far enough to lever old ones out and new ones in, no compressors needed. Once new ones are in, jack arm back up to refit shock bolt. Done half a dozen or more like this, never a problem.
