  2. Thanks for reply, i opened up the LKM and all solders etc appear to be in good condition. also today whilst driving my rear fog lamp went and was notified about it on the dash.. all wires are sweet checked measured 0.02 ohms between light and fuse, the bulb is sweet as well. so the LKM needs replacing to the looks of things?
  3. left headlight low beam not working, when ignition is turned to ON the msg DIP BEAM displays on the dash. right low beam is sweet. thought it was bulb changed it over but still nothing, checked low beam left fuse which read 11.54v with headlights switched on. right headlight reading was the same. ideas of what to check for?
  4. wanting to know if my car has a cat converter in it? I would jack up and look for myself but my jack looks on the verge of death with the weight of the car lol. bmw 735il 1989 m30b35 auto
  5. So looking at another bmw this time im going to buy a semi decent one and will spend around $5000. Looking for a e36 318is coupe prefered in manual but auto is fine. I would like to know if these cars are good runners, any common issues? what to look out for on them? What about performance ive heard the 1.9l twin cam engine is a good runner and will put an 328i e36 to shame on the 0-100?
  6. Yeah had a bit of an accident in the snow. All been repaired and tyres re aligned.

There are a few minor issues reflected in price $900 ONO. *More photos to come*
  9. I had this issue with my 320i went over all relays, got fuel, got spark etc. Turned out to be the Air Flow Meter, i was told the circuits are proned to failure in them causing bad connections and making the car hard/impossible to start. I got mine running without one by taking off the intake boot and leaving the afm connected. Cranked it over and it started ok. Just had vaccum leaks etc from the pipe hanging loose. Was about $80 for a replacement unit, well worth a go
  10. All is up and running again now. in the end required the following Control arm Tie rod end Sway bar link Sway bar link bracket Wheel alignment
  11. Yeah i know repair should be all completed by tommorow. I thought it was huge damage just by the way it handled just after the crash lol
  12. Its allgood i am only covered for 3rd party fire and theft so wouldnt have really made a difference.
  13. Following distance was a good 20m and was going probabyl 30k, He just slammed on the breaks for no apparent reason i done the same and just kept sliding and sliding and eventually hit the curb. He just drove off as although nothing happened.
  14. I have some more photos. The control arm has been replaced but just need a few other bits and pieces and it should be good to go. Engine mounts were a little loose but have been tightened.
  15. Was just going for a drive when some little asian man in a nissan micra slammed on his breaks. My e30 breaks and the best and the snow didnt help and yeah straight into the curb.
  16. Can someone please tell me if its worth repairing. no speed involved this time just some idiot in the ice who decided to stop infront of me which resulted in me swerving out the way and hitting the curb. I have a photo of it. I have lost power steering wheel jutters like crazy and is scraping against wheel arch. The passanger footwell has been pushed up and i can smell gas really strongly. Here are a few pics of the damage: Thats the wheel are tyre hitting the wheel arch it was scraping as i drove along, there is also a huge bend in the tie rod end and control arm: I will get some more pics up when the weather clears. I just gave it a $300 service last week so would be a shame to part it but if its going to cost me more to fix i will part it.
  17. Well i have found the issue or what seems to be the issue at least. The 2 spark plugs that prooved good for a spark were numbers 5 and 6. Didnt test the other 4 which my father done and found there to be no spark. We tried the coil out of my dads bmw into mine and still no difference. Then removed cold air box and took dizzy cap off and saw that the rotor had chewn itself to pieces. Its nothing and all burnt up. Seems as though i might need a replacement rotor then, also would that expain my fuel efficiency problems ive been having? Cheers Mitchell
  18. This clicking seems really weird though and its never done that before. It seems as though it clicks on then clicks another 2 times then does nothing. It only usually clicks once and now its doing it twice.
  19. Just tried exactly as said and still nothing. Hmmmm its got a spark, all water temps etc are connected. I still have that clicking relay when i put the key to on however.
  20. It does smell like gas yes, ok i will get someone to start the car whilst tapping fuel pump. As in tap do you mean big hits or little repatative hits?
  21. Here it is here, this was done litterally 10m ago. Just cut out the swearing at the end.
  22. I can eliminate the fuel pump been an issue as all voltages etc have just been checked and all checking out good. Now looks to me as its the main relay as there is a click when i turn the key to on which i have never come across before. Any way of testing it?
