  1. Haha yes true... sorry typo! Thanks for info - think I'll give them a good clean, might as well try! They arent cracked or corroded from what I can see (but will have a very close look after cleaning) Had a look on Roose and they only have later model e30 hoses. The only place I've found early e30 one was Ireland Engineering.
  2. Currently in process of replacing my radiator in my 1983 323i E30 (it was leaking) - pulled all the hoses off (none of which were leaking) but there is a lot of brown residue in them. Can I safely clean them? If not, any suggestions on where to buy replacement? Would prefer silicone if I replace them all - but they're about $300-400 delivered from the states (no where local has early e30 radiator hoses)
  3. Hi Team, Have a few issues with the E30 I picked up recently - I've taken some photos to help. I've got a decent oil leak coming from somewhere high up (based on the coverage of oil over parts quite high up in engine bay) The plug underneath the Throttle has oil all over it - unsure how, but this is the highest part of the engine with much oil over it When the engine is running, I can't see any obvious leaks (it isn't spraying or gushing out of anywhere) See image of throttle and plug below it I've also heard there can often be leaks from the 'Bitch Tube' or 'Tube of Death' as some people call it? The one with the spring on it. Could be a culprit? I've also got a decent coolant leak Again, when running the engine, it isn't gushing out of anywhere - at the bottom of the radiator (see image) it seems to be gathering and it drips from there If it needs replacing - does anyone have a good recommendation of brand/model/type to use? (anything to avoid) At the Coolant reservoir, the tube is cracked (as image shows) - can anyone recommend where to get a replacement? Also, tube coming out of the valve cover (oil return?) appears to be cracked - so should probably replace? And finally, on throttle there are tubes going in on each side, which aren't 'fixed' in place and can easily fall out - I've seen some people 'jb weld' these in place? Any recommendations Appreciate any help you guys and gals can offer
  4. Could you post a photo of the Evo 3? And how much? I didn't know there were different kinds - I think i've seen the Evo 2?
  5. A mate and I were one of the Flying finish teams and we always got excited seeing your bright car come flying past! Well done on a great race! (Hopefully i'll be joining you all for Bambina in 2016)
  6. After an M3 Spoiler to fit an E30 - anything around?
