Hello everyone and just to say my names Andy or as you will know me on the forum as spirit and a complete bmw nut who after waiting 15 years since seeing one decided in a moment of madness to rescue a e36 bmw 328i coupe 10 minutes from being crushed as the owner decided that he didnt want it for a drift car anymore so decided the end was nigh so fate had it i bought it there and then and started to make it a road car with an added twist but still retain the classic e36 feel.

the car is being built on a tight budget including the car of 2k so most of the car has been built with second hand parts and very few new ones and also calling in favours,swops,deals,begging etc to the point where just the rear arches need doing and a quick respray to tidy it up.

some of you may already know me anyway as i am a prominent member of bimmerforums.co.uk but i like to spread my knowledge and gain also so i use various forums in my quest as i like learning all the time

i hope its ok with admin staff if i post my project link from bimmerforums as its very page heavy and i will also post new stuff of course on here all the time so i hope its ok guys

There is an icon for bulk loading photobucket, then just copy the link and paste, I think it is the 3rd section down for the link, good luck. :D

The only way I can think of right now is the 'Share This Album' option on photobucket.,

Or we have our own bulk uploader, but that can't link to photo bucket.

I ill look into it though, seems a good idea.

      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.
