  1. Take the thermostat out & check it. Wouldn't be the first time I have seen a faulty new one.

    Also - did you get the S/H radiator checked for flow? S/H cap WTF - put a new one on

    Yes i did get it checked and as for the s/h cap i just happened to have it kicking around from some other stuff i got and it looked in better nic than the one that was in there


  2. So my s/a spec e 30 is overheating it had a blocked radiator . I replaced it with a second hand one new thermostat and a second hand radiator cap . All was well after this for a week then today it started overheating again the only thing that seemed to help was turning the heater and fan on. I tested the aux fan it only seems to work on high speed the viscous fan coupling seems to be not as good as it should be .the only thing that troubled me was that the rad was cold and i would have thaught that if it was simply the fan it would heat up when stationary or in traffic .not all the time is it possible that the new thermostat is stuck shut or am i missing something?


  3. Hi all

    Im new to bmws but not new to cars and bikes

    My bmw is a 1988 e30 south african spec (so im told and from what i can see is right) 325i with the number plate beamrr

    it has all the accessories leather interior that is in overall not bad condition , the fuel consumption trip computer thing , ducktail spoiler , sump guard , cruise control ect

    paint is in average nic as its a black one the paint is sunburnt and the clear has flaked off in places its pretty standard my brother had it for 8 or 9 years and when he got a e36 328i i convinced him to give me the car

    currently has no wof or reg but from what i can see wont have any issues getting one

    has a few mechanical things that need attention like leaking valve cover gasket just small things that annoy me

    idles a wee bit rough but i have a feeling it may have an vacume leak and im going to give it the big once over and service soon

    plans are to cruise in it half way through re doing the stereo system and all i want to do i lower it and some nice wheels

    oh i also have a supercharged toyota trueno that is a fair way from stock that ive been building/ racing over the years

    ill upload some photos of my toys here soon
