Turning_Point

sorry its a 318i, not sure why i never stated that in the auction - have edited now. yeah ideally i really have no idea what people are paying for cars these days, i figured i could sell the rims + leather interior for 1k individually so the body of the car must be worth at least 1k? i could be wrong but again im very ignorant when it comes to the car market. i saw on tme there was a 318 same year with the whole front end smashed up and going for around the same price http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-192537341.htm >>> seats WITH door cards with a buy now of 1k http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-193501921.htm this is the car i was referring to above

Hey guys, selling my BMW as i have finally purchased a run around now. Wanting to sell as a whole but can sell with just the shell with no wheels and/or no leather seats. Open to all offers as long as it is reasonable. 021 298 4723. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.as...624&ed=true Trademe link above. Regards = )

Great thanks for all your help silver fox, i think ill be able to bleed it. Ive managed to get the housing off, i accidently took the bit off that the top house connects to at first... *woops* so ive chucked it in a pot with boiling water from the kettle and this is the result of the bastard... would it be fair to say its buggered? its only opening maybe .5cm? how much do brand new ones go for these days from the likes repco

okay so its safe to undo the hoses, i wont need to replace the coolant etc after removing the thermostat?? cause ill give that go if thats the case.

i see, there is lots of resistance there, it wont spin freely by any means. oh yes, i only felt it after the temp gauge read half way, that would be only water temp, not actual engine temp. and its a 91 e36 318 4 door

Okay so there is two fans, thers a little one behind the grills. thats not spinning. i assume it only spins when air passes through the car when travelling? .. the massive fan behind the radiator is spinning as its belt driven ...is there some way i can test why either of those are fault. Also just read on the bently manual that if the top radiator house is not hot to touch after car reaches operating temp, then the thermostat might not be opening? as this is the case, top hose is not hot/warm to touch at all

Hey thanks for the reply where abouts is this? how big is it out of 10 on the, rape all my money scale lol. i havent noticed any leaks as such and havent needed to top it up, ill probaly need to now though since it stemmed out last nite

Hey guys, havent posted here in donkeys years Have a bit (huge) problem with my gypsie vehicle. Yesterday i had a pretty bad day haha, car gets towed by ace bastards from domion rd, i had to walk into the city and get it back... 200$ later i got the car back and drove it to my friends and all of a sudden whenever i sit idle the car will just overheat and go straight to red (now its done that a couple of times in the past, but as soon as the car gets going its sweet again) but now its just constantly hitting the red as soon as it stuck at lights etc. :'( Help! I think this is going to cost me a lot of money, that i dont have. Possible thermostat? or water pump?... Many thanks in advance

cool, a drummer. how long you been playing for?

got a few kms on it aswell by the pic. have u had it ever serviced? ... flushes or anything??

congrads bro. thats great news hahaha. yeah hard or power bar to the face

yeah thats right guys. hahaha definantly a e30 based forum here ive noticed and its all good personally i like newer shape cars.. but the above poster has got it spot on, cant do a hell of a lot with an e36. but e30 from my point of view is much more performance orientated.. thus if i was starting a speed project, id go e30...but im lazy/poor/ and incapable of looking at a car that doesnt go for long periods of time anyways..you gotta love an a/m turbo'd e30 !!!

nice ^^. just gotta get that around my head. you seem very knowledgeable

pretty snazz bro i agree with above comments . tints and clear indicators then ull be away haha yeah mine was loud as when i got mine, just ended up changing mine back to a standard system haha. dont raise it up though
