Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted August 21, 2015 Recently picked up a tidy little '85 318i as a runabout whilst Pigpen is getting a heart transplant. The E30 has a few gremlins of its own, most of which I just can't be bothered trawling through the mountains of online misinformation to find out the root cause - so I thought I'd ask here The fuel gauge does its own wibbley wobbly thing regardless of how much dinosaur juice is in the tank - likely causes / fixes? Ditto with the temp gauge - I know the thermostat is poked but the needle does seem to randomly jerk about on occasion. Causes / fixes? Drivers side foglight is non-functioning. Replaced bulb and fuses but no luck. What else should I be investigating? Same thing with the interior lights. Fuses and bulbs replaced but no light. I figure that given the number of E30 devotees around the place some other poor sod will have fixed the same on their car. Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
