  1. cheers for that! have just tackled it from another direction and realoem provides a picture of the complete cooling system including a pipe going to the port you didn't circle, which means you are right for the crank case. Thanks for your help! sorry champ, its a rare colour eh, I'm not sure ive seen another car the same! ...everythings for sale at the right price though
  2. I know that hose number 6 in this picture connects to Part 6 in this picture (which is the throttle heating element according to real OEM) but which tube is it on the heating element that it connects to? there apears to be one two on one side and one on the other. the other tube on the left hand side of that picture is the coolant, and the output is coolant as well, i just dont want to mix the crank case and collant up obviously! they look like they are different sizes in that picture, but they arent in real life. If someone can have a look at their M40B18 or M40B16 engine id appreciate it! have just done the temperature sender which means the whole intake manifold has to come off on the M40 engine. argh. Andy
  3. if you can find one, thats why they are so much. and despite a lot of people building replicas, the price is going up on them too. im not quite sure that id remortgauge the house at this stage of my life for one, but the day i have near that kind of coin sitting round.... i will have clocked life
  4. Did someone park it, die, and has never thought about it again? Seems like it :S

    that car just needed smiley headlights and would have been finished imo.
  9. no oillines there, it will be the rear main seal most likely, reletively common issue on the M20 engine.
  10. yep had a bit of trouble selling my benz too. in those days, its the equivelent of AC Schnitzer or Hartge, which a BMW guy will pay 30-40% more for the same model over an M Version. in a way, Mercedes buying it devalued the badge. also check this mitsy whoops went off topic
  11. Think: would my grandad do this if he owned this car. if yes then okay by us lol. im all for modded bmws, but some are just too rare and/or good to mod
  12. the agreed mounts to use by most conversion guys is E36 M5x arms and E28 M30/S38 rubber mounts. PM user E30ftw and find out what linkage he used, he had a Getrag 220 box on the back of his M50 E30. user Sasha now has thins car, he may also know.
  13. approximately a week from today to get to you. usually take around 4-5 days to get to me, and then i pack them the night i get and send on overnight courier to you guys. So wednesday next week with change
  14. i thought the same thing lol
  15. ive read on the interweb somewhere you can get around that law as the law is that they are illegal to use but doesnt say they are illegal to have installed. if you want to ride that fine line
  16. maybe. I had billstein sports and H&R Cup shocks side by side and they look totally different. Both E30 fitment. the bilsteins were only a few mm thinner on the part behind the springs as opposed to inside the strut, whereas the H&R ones looked like Konis or similar with a very thin maybe 1/2" thick shaft on the spring end. thats what i based my assumption on that they werent billys. edit: looks like this photo compare to this which is H&R. couldnt find one of just the shocks not installed in struts, but gives you an idea I never ran the H&R shocks to tell you the difference between them though, i was sold them by someone claiming they were perfect but all 4 shocks were blown when i got them. so cant tell you the difference in the way they drove. of course, this is E30 fitment.
  17. mines a panasonic, its the middle model cant remember the model number off hand. have also noticed it was a bit hit and miss, and then realised it was when i had the E30 parked about a meter in front of the unit that it didnt work as good as it did when it wasnt there and parked by the gate.
  18. amen brother but the mortgauges dont pay themselves. I do 8.30 till 9pm four days a week at the moment, hour break between work and school. shes tough. edit: 8.30am btw LOL
  19. writing your location will help
