Hartage

Had a similar problem with my e46.

Was a flat battery, that is the alarm warning when head lights flash on and off. reset it with alarm remote when battery fully charged.

You may have a dud battery or poor connection at body or in side terminals

I totally agree with you Glenn. Manners cost nothing!

I am a bit too far away from you to use you services, but respect the fact that you have supported this forum out of your own pocket. I hope the locals that are causing the frustration read and act on the comments you have made.

I don't believe that we should "name and shame" them, that will only cause ill feeling and more embarrassment to the forum members that would not treat you in this manner.

Keep up the help and good attitude

Unfortunatly its a fact, and a law.

I dont agree with it, in fact i have had the same discussion with the long arm of the law about it, But try talking sence to them!

I use my fogs in the day time as a warning on the open road, makes the car a bit more noticable!

Fight it with them, Making the car easy to be seen in the rain!

Pffffft

You need a seven mate

Or a 5 series wagoooonn!!

Cant tell you if they are the same, but I have e46 manual, and can get the box model number off it tomorrow if that helps

Though mine is a 4 door, its a super car to drive

Hoping for the Gold Plus pass i got last year!

But the best seats alway cost the most!!

Come on boys, read the thread, its in Auckland as i read it, so there are lots of members that would go give it the once over.

Haahahahahahaha He drove the e30 from the back seat!!

B##tards too tall!

Needs a stretched e30!

hey. i have almost finished my conversion in the e30 just having a little trouble working out where to mount the engine oil cooler and i got a new facelift radiator. its quite abit smaller than the old one. was wondering if anyone knew how to mount the new one? any help and advice will be aprecciated.

Did you get the plastic mounts with the radiator, ?

You can use some of the pre face lift radiators, i have and it was no problem

Yep, Hartge's

Look more like the real thing than copies i have

There was 1 in Palmerston north a few Years ago, I believe that it is still there, was stripped down to repaint.

And this means?

Well after the last time I drank with Ian in Taupo, I don't think I'm safe anyway - hah.

Cut to the chase, How much??

i am sorry fellow bm-ers

Sounds like either the Control in the drivers foot well, or adjust ment of the micro switch in the drivers door, has effect if not in the right place.

Also if the arm on the key barrell ( inside the door ) is broken it will not activate properly, have just fixed 1 car with this problem in the last 3 weeks.

sounds like the rad hose at the front by the chassis rail.

It could be spraying into the body work!

I have a feeling I know who it is from the plates except he says he bought the Bentley in 1985 in London and who I'm thinking of is too young for that. (I think).

Edit: No I'm wrong - was thinking of Max Fletcher.

It is David Blackmore, well known round wellie, has some real nice cars!

AND NOT SCARED TO SPEND ON THEM!!

Should be 1 bolt through the center, Not sure if its torx or normal hex head. If you have the Motronic motor, after removing the Dizzy cap ( 3 small screws ) and the rotor ( 3 small cap screws ) it should be simple undo the bolt, and remove the washer and locating pin

If its the early motor, two screws to removre the alloy bolck, then the bolt in the center, washer pin etc.

Been thinking about this as well, been told that the clutch on the SC14 will not handle the on/off if using the TPS.

Been done before and failed.

I think the SC14 is the way to go! Keep us up with how you go!

Bearing in mind that no spacers are legal!

Adapters that are bolted on to the hub, then wheels bolted to them are ok

alloys, kit and oil cooler on trade me now as i got so many requests for them already lol its the only fair way

Hmmm, using the pic of my Red e30 with the 16' AC's !!

Yep this is the one you will have seen, i drove it up to Auckland on sunday.

Hahahahaha I saw it, Was going south in a Red 325i on 16"ac's

I'm in, Classicmad user name 40 points for the start is too good!!

As i understand it no.

Combustion in 2.0lt is in the cylinder head. 2.5 is in piston, you would end up with a VERY low comp motor

Well thanks guys for all your replies - seems like the garage I spoke to were in dream land.

I did one last wek, with help at home on the floor, 2 Evenings in cluding a few issues getting the box back in.

10 to 12 hours 15 if you allow for things that go wrong, Max!

Hi Mate,
