Hi all, I have stumbled across a 1983 635 csi in Spain. It has had new wings, radiator , tyres and brakes overhauled and been regularly serviced. It is a UK car, righthand drive, but has not been driven for 8 years. It does start and idles ok, but Icannot road test it. There is one tiny bit of rust on the rear wheel arch, and that appears on a quick look to be all. It has a dateless registration plate too. I have been offered it for 400 believe it or not. The owner is returning to the UK and wont take it back with him. What areas should I be looking at for problems and should I buy it? My plan is to restore it. Thanks,

Tiddy

400 Euros sounds a bargain. Even if it wasn't running it would be worth buying to restore. Depending on mileage and specification it could be worth anything from £4000 to £8000.

Obviously if it was an Alpina it would be worth a whole lot more.

Hi btmaldon, I bought it, couldn't let it pass by! It's getting picked up Friday and going to the local garage for an underneath inspection. Im going to see the result of that and decide then what to do. I agree with you, I won't lose with it!

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
