bonner 330ci

My rims!! there yours for a good set of x5 alloys n tyres there abit like the ones in pic

Fully agree but this country has gone to poo!! tax tax tax tax tax even tax on tax, luckily for me fuel has droped 8p per ltr due to a new morrisons and has caused a battle between the stores!!, as for batterys like u say there defo far from it i use cordless drills ect everyday and the memory fails also have found the lithium is goin that way too! u would have fort they would have built some sort of dynamo so you had a constant charge!!

Cheers bud! yeah its all good here!! iv had loads of help since day one!! much appriciated! if only i had a driveway or garage!!!!!! if it were the case my car would be in pieces and id be driving a cheeky cento lol, would love to strip mine and full nut n bolt rebuild and powdercoat everything underneith full poly bush id go for the full werx but for now i can only dream!! next step is to get me some x5 rims!!

Would love to have been a high end mechanic but the college wouldnt have me so most saturdays i have a tinka!! this is the best forum iv been on!! i joined a scooby one and ppl just wernt intrested!! went to a few meets and ppl again wernt intrested all stuck there nose up strange as everyone had the same car lol!! mot time shes in the garage all good to go!! hope it goes thru!!!

Good stuff mate cheers!!! are u a mechanic by trade or is it a hobbie?? u seem to no alot about all the differnt bmw's!!!

I hope to god i havent!! if i had the no how id put a v8 or v10 inside lol

Madness!!! no not seen this one!! good stuff! one i see was a silver e36 m3 cant belive the power!! were i park my car on a daily basis theres a electric clio alwas on charge and been stuck behind him doin 20 very annoying!!!! this is what made me think nah! but after seeing this i could be for it if all is tunable!!

Check this out on youtube just type in electric bmw, mentallll some might have seen but a first for me!! e36 m3, im not a lover of electric cars but 400bhp for street and tunable il trade my lump in for one anyday!!!!! if u aint seen it get onit!!!

Shes still goin very sweet!!!! just got to keep an eye out on the oil!! left for the whole day no oil spillage and no smoke on start up!! hopfully friday when it goes in for mot they wont find the cause!! Just wondered, if it did have a snapped piston would it sound noisy and run like poooo??

Hi all iv just put a post up about my car drinking a good 7-7.1/2 litres of oil in around 4 weeks!! not good no oil leaks and no smoke i used magnatec 5w-30 fully synth and my car drank the lot is it too thin short life?? or would a drop of lucas stabilizer help cheers

As for the dumpvalve if u do decide on one make it a good one and the right one!! iv made mistakes and lost money buying the right bov but not had the right spring!! alot differ on tension due to boost pressure and can leak i had this prob with my rs turbo and wrx it gave me alot of greif and didnt find out what it was untill i found out in a jap mag, imo turbo flutter is much better than blow off!! unsure if u get this on diesels regarding what daz was saying? thats some mental torque increase wish i had gome with a 330 diesel rather than petrol!! if it were me i get forced induction bigger intercooler and poss bigger turbo exhaust then look at remap with the increase from just a remap this should snap your neck lol

Not good mate!! couple of weeks ago they done the white lines were i am and had white dots up one side and my car is black i went mental luckily it came off with t cut after trying clay, the coucil are a bugger to purswade mate a good mate of mine hit a pot hole and cracked his rim he had to take photos for proof of the hole and wheel what time ect 3 weeks down the line they did agree to pay out so could be worth a try??

Hi mate! i do give it some when on carrage ways ect but not redlining it, the cars is a late 51 plate and has been sweet up untill now! i used to have a e36 328i 96 drove that the same but no issues, when we plugged her in after she died it came up wiv somthing to do with the vanos sensor? camshaft sensor has always come up but never been an issue! When tryng to start it it fired roughly then died it done this a few times but then gave up completly!! at first we fort it was the fuel pump as it didnt make the priming sound!! but since the tow start its been good as gold and fires on the button engine is smooth as they come!! il give it a steam clean and drive slow and see how i get on

Good stuff! cheers mate i goin to put thru mot and if nothing is found il get the bay steam cleaned!! And hopfully i have a faulty dipstick lol!! as for the ccv i think it needs doin so if all goes well il treat her to a new one!!!! luckily i only do about 4 miles a day so if it is burnin oil shouldnt burn toooo much!!

Might pay to buy a new ccv and hoses i have been told the breather systems are not too good and do fail. i hooked one of the hoses off to find it caked in crap oil or carbon?? as for mayo i only get it on the oil cap but only due to short journeys as when i do a good run it goes, but yeah il fill it up n drive her gently!! and see what happens on friday il get them to have a good look at leaks and then maybe if i have some money left get them to do a compresion test if its worth it? Thanks again bud!!

Oh dear dont like the sound of that lol!! ive used a good 7.1/2 litres of oil since service! exhaust fumes are very clean has that sorta sweet almondy smell to it if that makes sence? oil i used was magnetec 5/30 could be to thin? milage is 176k, have google the prob and a few ppl were talkin about ccv being blocked and somthing about revmatching? down shifting while slowing down?? when u say use a good detergent are you talking of engine flush?? i have an mot this friday so hopfully the emissions test will tell us il keep this updated!! cheers daz

Today i went to my mates garage to put some loctight on my hubcentric spacers, jacked the rear on the diff, got the job done and fired her up! gave a little reve 3 or 4k and swiched off once on idle, 2 mins later she would not start!!! checked all fuses relays ect, got the diagnostics out cleared codes n started again come back with a vanos senser and cam sensor altho cam has aways been there not been an issue!! last thing to try tow start! done this around the block and nothing, till comin to a junction i dipped the clutch up again then she fired up!! is still running fine now and does restart with no issues, i then checked oil and it was bone dry!! i only gave it a full service 4 weeks ago using magnatec 5/30 fully sythetic i have no oil leaks car dont smoke and heating blows hot no oil water mix any ideasdontsmoke

Cheers!! can i put u guys out n post a pic on what i should be lookin at would help out a treat i know abit about cars but not a mechanic im a brickie but love to get stuck in!! still trying to get my head round these motors being newish to bmw may sound daft i know but these cars are built like tanks compared to other motors ive owned n pulled apart, propa built minus the arches lol. cheers

Get stuck in!!! lol, il have a ganderz first i think lol sounds like a job for the ramps iv only got the last resort flimzy crank up jack defo served its purpose but i aint gettin under that!!!

Been lookin at these pens, i ended up googlin it the reviews arnt good but then people expect miracles! mop should do the job??

Il give it a bash!! cheers! poorboys is another that alot of people talk about il have ago on both i think!! halfords do a wax in a tin by simonize for £7 might give that ago as the ice that i brought turns out its not a wax its a hard paste polish good stuff tho!!

Cheers for the replys!! Once warm it does go back to normal!! When in the neutral pos pushing from left to right (as u check its not in gear for fireup) push to the left it moves smoothly but to the right towards 5th it dont feel right its not smooth like it should be its asif somthing is in the way!! I have no probs with gear changes no crunching poping out of gear and so on!! due for mot so il give the oil change in the box ago!! daz any idea what work would be involved if it were linkage?? cheers
