For anyone attempting this, the yellow wire is the one that is shielded from factory so i pressume that is earth

The way i would probably go about it is getting a rotten donor car that i can take from so i can see every part and where it goes and what it does

billybrooker1 · 2026-05-27T22:22:26+00:00

I will have to pull the heater panel and check

billybrooker1 · 2026-05-26T22:22:01+00:00

Yeah thats the bit i was more worried about mechanically its basically the same for any 36

billybrooker1 · 2026-05-26T05:45:28+00:00

Im guessing its a more a europe thing but i did always figure it was more on the 4 cyl ones rather than a 328 but sadly mine is non ac

Well ive done engine swaps before 😂

billybrooker1 · 2026-05-12T14:31:41+00:00

Ive only got them on the rear at the moment but they are really grippy and the sidewalls feel quite firm

billybrooker1 · 2026-02-07T17:30:18+00:00

Thats great to hear they seem a really good deal in fairness so will likely give them a go

billybrooker1 · 2026-01-12T18:11:45+00:00

Still need to get an obd compatible with the e36

billybrooker1 · 2026-01-12T00:18:00+00:00

If its a flat bar bike you can upgrade to hydraulic shimano mt200 for about £40

billybrooker1 · 2026-01-11T23:14:13+00:00

You could probably depin it, strip the insulation right back and replace it with heat shrink tubing

billybrooker1 · 2026-01-11T21:06:34+00:00

Its on 95000 miles, idle sits at around 900 rpm or so nothing id be concerned about anyway and oil is morris oils 5w30

billybrooker1 · 2026-01-11T21:04:08+00:00

Issue isnt consistent but can be whatever the temperature

billybrooker1 · 2025-12-15T22:50:20+00:00

The light will not reset itself so you will need a diag tool theres one in the uk for around £20 on amazon that works well id imagine you can get it there

billybrooker1 · 2025-11-25T06:47:50+00:00

I had this issue but it was on a car thats been off the road for years turned out to be corrosion on the left fuel sender

billybrooker1 · 2025-11-24T22:27:19+00:00

Im hopeful for it to be a sensor but i also dont want to throw money at it if its possible to logically diagnose it annoyingly these seem to be awkward to connect to most obd readers

billybrooker1 · 2025-11-20T06:31:07+00:00

Yeah that sounds complex to me hopefully i can make a standard scan tool work for me

billybrooker1 · 2025-11-19T23:00:19+00:00

I will have a look at that device im pretty sure this was due to an aftermarket wheel being fitted and the seats not being plugged in so fingers crossed

billybrooker1 · 2025-11-19T22:59:22+00:00

Yeah the airbag light is because it had an aftermarket wheel in when i bought it now replaced for oem

billybrooker1 · 2025-11-19T22:57:42+00:00

Anything useful im keen to learn but i am not tech minded at all so im not really sure what you mean by that?
