All sorted, turns out the fuel pump was ok, the problem was the 7 pin connector under the throttle body had some broken wires and there was no signal to the fuel injectors. I rekon it was only just hanging in there as I had an intermitant problem with the engine shutting down without warning. Running better now than before. I only have the Haynes manual which is not very dependable. Thanks for the help everyone.

Ok looks as though the pre/pickup pump is in the tank, and I got the external one rear passenger side. I only replaced the fuel filter a week ago. So its getting checked at the mechanic I didnt feel like getting doused in petrol again this week after replacing the filter, actually it was the E32 that doused me in petrol the E30 was ok.

I wont be able to check till tommorrow, but suppose I have the internal pump under the back seat, would that mean I would have the second pump at the rear wheel as well? And would I have to replace both pumps or could i just replace the in-tank one with one of these....? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-BMW-E30...sspagenameZWD1V Thank for your help, just trying to get an idea what parts I may need.

Hi, My 88 320i wont start, not getting any fuel but ignition system seems Ok, fuel pump relay and fuse seem ok too. I am confused about E30 fuel pumps from what I can gather some have 1 in the tank and 1 under the seat, some 2 in the tank and some just the 1. I dont know for sure yet if I have to replace the pump but if I do I gotta do it before rego, soon. can anyone advise me, thanks

The stalk switch mechanism appears to function ok, so would I need to check the wiring and connections at the switch? If the problem was the wheel speed sensors would that affect any other functions, obviously the speedo and instrument cluster works. Are the wheel speed sensors expensive?

Sorry Its taken me a while to get back on this subject, I think the gearbox I was looking at was unsuitable. The conversion kit you have looks good but I am in Sydney otherwise I would bid.

Thanks for the input, I found this link which is pretty straight forward http://www.nice-wheels.co.uk/BMW.html Originally I thought I would just stick with the bottle caps, but they are really dull looking and dont fill out the arches ,problem is I bought a brand new set of C-drives.

I checked all fuses and there is nothing out of order, apart from the cruise control ECU I am not sure what else to check.

They looked good, split rims too.Oh well, thanks for that.

Hi, Will these fit an E32 735il, I am uncertain about the offset; Front Tyres and Rim : 225/50/R16; 7J, Offset +33, PCD 114 (5 stud) Rear Tyres and Rim: 225/50/R16; 8J, Offset +33, PCD 114 (5 stud)

Ok I will check fuses tommorrow, I got a feeling they are ok but I will check the Bentley and see how it goes.

I recently picked up a 735il which is great , but the cruise control does not work, nothing happens, so I was wondering where to start or what sort of things usually go wrong with the cruise control function? If anyone has any thoughts on the subject ?

Thanks, I will try and find out for sure as this guy who is selling it does not seem to know much about it. Is there any advantage in having a gearbox from a later model besides probable lower mileage, are the later ones any better or worse?

Hi there, I am looking at a Manual gearbox from what I am told is an 83 525i. I have an 88 320i which I want to convert. Does anybody know what type of gearbox this is likely to be and if it might be suitable for an E30 facelift 320i, it needs an input shaft. Is this likely to create any problems or should I source a gearbox from a later model?

Hi, Just thoght I would answer my own question as it probally applies to most models, the brake fluid resovoir plugs into the master cylinder via 2 rubber gromets these are available from BMW dealer for $15 each that creates a pretty firm seal for the resovoir.
