hotwire

HB old bugger!! Catch up some time soon

Its a bad/ no earth somewhere. Cant remember where earth points are off hand but check for brown wires connecting to body - under the bonnet

All E30's have a gas strut on R/H side. If not there then it has been taken off. Very common to loose pressure & not hold bonnet too. As said above - replace or regas

What lights - stop or tail? Rear window light - Hi stop??

Some people make you wonder Bloody waste of what looked a mint E46

Euro assembled Pre F/L cars have the belts mounted inside the boot vertically on each side - behind side trims. In S/African assembled pre F/L cars they are mounted inside the car under the rear parcel tray trim & on top of tray itself - same as all the F/L cars.

Classic!

Absolutely hate! Then again - not a great fan of compacts either

Don't quote as I am not familiar with Bosch part numbers but my guess is - probably difference between "L" & "LL" is same battery but one reverse post to the the other. Match configuration layout to your current one.

Ebay for a 16:9 screen. Be aware that you will need to replace the video module as well to get 16:9 display PM me for explanation.

Not dangerous from an electronics point of view, but dangerous because of no passenger air bag operation when in the need of. Also needs fixing for a WOF. Sounds about right for a price to fix. DONT look to cheat on a fix -they are there for a reason. If replacing the seats - it obviously still requires a working sensor circuit in the passenger seat for the system to operate

Done!

Prolly cause they own one:- Can't imagine why else Myself - torn between E9, M1 & E30 M3

Bruce, Firstly, punctuation would make your post a hell of a lot easier to read & interpret:- Fuel pressure - from memory - runs at about 33-34psi @ 2.5 -3 litres per min delivery

Realitively typical of any older 2.L car. Not brilliant with short around town running but obviously better with open road hot running.

Sounds like a voltage issue - what rating is the stereo? Is there a separate amp involved? Check wiring connections -power/earth. Could be charging issue - check voltage at idle. Wont be battery causing problem

Mongoose, Dynatron to name a couple. You can just get a keyless locking kit if thats all you want. An entry level alarm is not a lot more cost though.

Think he's taking the mickey from a previous post of his. Are you sure the handbrake isn't dragging? Lift rear end & with handbrake off - make sure both wheels turn freely

No reason at all to have problems if the system you put in is a quality unit.

Can add a window lift module to any remote alarm. Can do the sunroof as well

Dan, Any alarm/immobiliser with remote locking ability or remote locking kit will connect directly to the locking module in the car & give you keyless locking/unlocking of doors/boot/cap. All actuators in your car are electric. Some Benz & VW/Audi cars are all that I know are vacuum operated. These kits can operate vacuum systems but often require resetting to extend the lock pulse duration & sometimes fitting an electric actuator in the drivers door

No it dosen't support OBD2 - this was 2000> Has the older 19 pin round connector port in engine bay on LHS by the strut tower

Bets on as to whos is going to reappear with fault first

Have you tried agents? - Might surprise. Don't hold your breath for S/H because of the high demand on manuals

Dunno on reason for the black wire - not needed in the E30 anyway. Also - highly unlikely to be a flasher problem. Usual failure of these is a dry solder joint causing no go or no flash May have a short in the right hand circuit OR a faulty contact connection in the switch on R/H side (latter probably more likely)
