When you drain coolant from an e30 320i facelift do you need to use the block drain plug or can you just use the drainplug/hose on the radiator?

I'm wanting to flush the radiator

A new switch shouldn't be too expensive. You never know when you might need to double park! :D

In a word. No. It wont bolt up.

Getrag 260 can be made to fit.

Or else you will need to find a ZF 5 speed from e36.

How much did you score your M50 for and what are you planning to do before you turb it?

Actually a 240 will fit the m50, and if the m50 is in a E30 will fit even better then the 260. (as the shifter lines up correctly)

Just a quick question, what the name of the double sided tape some of you use to stick your germanplates onto your car. And where you can get it.

Had a quick look down the road but they didn't seem to have any suitable tape.

Cheers,

Nick

Yea, they didn't have the foam tape. The noob I talked to didn't even know what I meant when I asked if they had the foam type double sided tape.

He asked for a brand or name so I thought Id ask here. I'll just go into mitre 10 mega tomorrow and try find some.

Cheers for the quick responses.

How much do you need ?? I can give you some tomorrow if you want

Its for putting my German plates on, so just enough to stick them on well enough.

I would definitely take you up on that offer but I don't know if I will be able to make it out to Botany before Christmas.

Appreciate it though Glenn.

3M VHB tape - sticks like sh*t to a blanket. Hardware stores should sell it in small sections (horrifically expensive to buy a complete roll).
