  1. Use the probe and trace back down the brake wire to see if you can find the problem.

    Im suprised about the relay being down the back. Does it look like an after market set up? May be for a high stop light or somthing? :huh:

    There should only be one fuse for the brake lights and as one side is going, it shouldnt be that. Look for dirty contacts also. Hope this helps


  2. OK, after having a good look at it all the chip in the back of the OBC, its the wrong type (3-1.1TYP instead of 3-1.2TYP) So i assume that all the reading will be incorect and possably in Miles instead of kms. All the buttons are in Miles also...

    Will, do you know what the dial at the back of the OBC is for? its was pointed at 30 when it came out of the car. Theres CH30, 30, 60 and CH60.

    Im still dead keen to get a OBC into my car but if its the wrong type im not going to bother with it. Ill have to try and get another one i think. :(


  3. Are they diffrent between 2 and 4 door?? Or are you just trying to convince me of selling it to you? l :lol:

    This mirror is being an absolute bitch. I think is drawing to much power and blowing fuses. It works for a second then blows, no matter what im runing it of on the check control . I think ill have to run it off the interior lights at the rear...

    And after looking again at the front seats if i want to use them ill have to get them fixed for a couple of rips :(


  4. haha, ive seen an engine sit for ten plus years under cover, put new leads, plugs, oil and points on it and she was a perller! But bmw engines may be a diffrent story haha, but im sure yours will be sweet as. Just crank it over every month or so (if you can) to get oil pressure if your really worried.


  5. Possably the thrust bearing. does the noise sound like a rough, rumbeling noise? Usually the thrust bearing will make this noise when its worn and the clutch is let out. If it makes noise when the clutch is in, its usually the pilot/spigot bearing.

    Yes they are both close to the clutch and the norm is to replace them both when the clutch is done.


  6. Hey all,

    Ive some how managed to get all leather seats, headliner, mirror and the rest of the interior minus the carpet and dash out of an E30 left hand drive M3. Id be dead keen to stick the black headliner, seats and possably the mirror into my 325.

    Im just not to sure on the headliner as the m3 i think has a diffrent roof pattern at the rear. Im hoping that because the rear C pillars extended from the bottom on the m3 rather than the top that the headliner should still fit, if you get what i mean :blink: But the C pillar part of the head liner would definatly be to big so if i can ill cut it to fit. (if i can do it :wacko: )

    The mirror on the m3 has map lights and again im not sure if my wiering harnes will have that option, any way im sure that part wont be to hard and im hoping the seats are the same.

    Ohh, ive also got an on bord computer to go inplace of my analogue clock. I rember seeing on the web that there was a way to install it but i cant find it. Also because its from an m3 it may not work proply with the diffrent engine and all anyway. http://www.unofficialbmw.com/repair_faqs/obc.html <-------- that web site seems to no about it.

    Has any body tryed and suceded/failed at any of this? :bounce:


  7. What your describing sounds like the battery has a bad conection. Its a bit weird its only done it a few times over a long perriod.

    Get a volt meter and test for volts drop from the battery earth to the starter (earth)while cranking. I cant see how the starter could have a bad earth but it has happened to me before. Do the same with the positve side (but to the starter positive wire on the starter side of the solenoid) Check all earth leads.

    Hope that can help point you in the right direction. Im sure other people will give some other ideas.


  8. and lets not forget shes super hot!

    Agreed. :o

    If i email an image (eg in a Word document) and give you sizing etc, can you make stickers that way? I dont have anthing pland at this stage but am working on somthing. Would that work?


  9. Just thought id let people know about the hillclimb in the domain this sunday. It realy is a choice event to watch. Ive been for the last few years and loved it! :D

    The cars race up from the bottom of lower domain drive up to the top. Theres heeps of places to watch and im sure there will be a few exciting moments!
