sorry mate, missed that. thats very strange in that case as have never had an issue when using new parts. I refuse to bleed brakes, but clutch is usually pretty straight forward. are you sure the metal line isnt kinked somewhere along the way? is the only thing i can think of that might make it hard -
its not going to be a 1990 as its an E36. 93 onwards. and good on you that your being productive and furthering your skills with your time out of work instead of watching soaps all day!

not sure what service is like but the quality of the parts is excellent. Ive had some of thier stuff but i brought it second hand

i wouldnt d*ck around with it, and would just get a new master and slave and be done. you have to replace both at the same time because if you get a new slave and not master the added pressure just accelerates the wearout of the master. I found that out the hard way and would assume the opposite way round would happen too. they arent that expencive really. I tried for hours doing it when i did my first manual conversion... gave up with the inefficent 15 year old crap and got new stuff instead of investing in all the fancy self bleeeding tools etc. at the end of the day your going to have a better result. aparently BNT is cheapest, especially if you know someone that works there. I found that out after though so cant give accurate pricing -
they look good dont they!

Well, If thier argument is that he shouldnt drive when tired and it wouldnt have happened is thier arguement then i can see where they are coming from. Noone is awake and alert and then next thing you know your asleep. that said, AMI were borderline bankrupt about 6 months ago and were bailed out by the government, all very hushed up so they didnt loose customers. was due to the Canterbury earthquake

Spent the arvo after i picked up a new E30 cut and polishing 20 years of crap off the paint. done the bonnet and one door, and so far my gamble on the paint has paid off!

i think someone needs to tell that to all the wreckers on this board!

but does it skid? I wonder if someone fitted a M51 turbo and manifold onto it so the turbo has BMW castings or do they look different
