Quick Questions

Recommended Posts

A question most probably answerable by Glenn:

This may seem petty but is it very easy to switch the steptronic from pushing it forward to shift up to pulling it back to shift up? It's nothing major but if it's a simple solution like inverting fuses (my basic mind at work) then I'll probably do it.

Does the E36 Window Regulator Pivot Adjusment Bar White round plastic slider come off?

If your meaning the two slides on the end of the two regulator arms thats attach the regulator to the bottom of the window....yes they come off. Remove the two metal circlips and pull the ball socket out of the slides. Slide the slide clips out, grease the runners and fit new slides. You will need small polley grips to get the ball socket back into the new slides.

Thanks for the reply Glenn. But I was talking about the other sliding plastic thing, the rail comes with the Regulator. Sorry I'm pretty new to this.

But they have it in a picture here http://www.dvatp.com/bmw/diy/power_window/

No power goes to the alternator Nath, it generates power. I believe it goes to the battery positive, but someone else will confirm.

it goes from the battery to the starter motor, there are 2 wires off the starter motor, one goes to fusebox etc and one to the back of the altinator.

sometimes the fusebox wire runs either from the battery terminal in the front or from a joining point on the firewall also.

putting the interior of the E30 back together, got a bit of an oil spill on the back seat (leather) pretty sure its brake fluid. any idea how to remove the stickyness? dont want to damage the leather if i can help it, though i fear i have already done so

btw after typing this, i swear the stickyness on the backseat is definately originted from a bottle ;p

Will a large case diff fit into an E30?

Im assuming the difference in length can be adjusted on the driveshaft?

Would the output flanges be the same as my 85 323 with med case 3.23:1 diff?
