On or Off Quick E30 320 Question
Hi everyone Just a quick question regarding the overhead console computer as I cannot remember whether it should be All on or off prior to starting the car? I have fitted a new battery and I'm having blond moment lol (no offence intended). Currently prior to cranking the car over it is all lit up and I'm sure it wasn't like that beforehand and then mostly goes out during cranking. Not sure if I have to reset something so any help and advice would be most welcome. -

Angel eye install…. Stupid glue!
Well…. It begins! The dremel was useless and just kept snapping blades, so I went for the next option…. 2000 watt heat gun…. 4 hours later I have a melted set of lights and some angel eyes in position. I managed to pull the wire out of one of the halos so I’ll get the soldering kit out 🙄 once all the halos are in and working, I’ll fit the new lenses and mould the mos sharpen bits back again… hopefully! -

Electrical issue
Morning Gary Welcome to the Forum Even a relativley new battery can die fully charge the battery (make sure you use the charge points under the bonnet) measure the voltage engine off key out at the charge points it should read 12.5 to 12.8v below 12v is either dying battery or a dead short somewhere. Once battery is at full charge engine running measure again you shouls see 14.8v indicating a healthy alternator. Engine off key out let the car go to sleep (takes up to 10 mins) then measure amperage at the under bonnet charge points you should se a few milliamps (clock, memory items etc) if your seeing higher you have a paracitic drain which will need tracking down. Check the starter motor a failing one can kill a battery really fast Hope this helps Dave -
