[QUOTE="HaqimRashid, post: 409210, member: 19639"] Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum and hoping that all of my elder brothers could advice me on rebuilding my E36. We just bought ourselves a bargain 95' 325 last Friday as my wife & i wanted to do this as our family project. Hopefully she doesn't scream when she see the bills. I have not checked the car throughly but here are the list of problems i have encountered so far: [U]Undercarriage[/U] 1. Steering Cover and Bush - Both sides 2. Lower Arm Bush - Both sides 3. Tie Rod End - Both sides 4. Engine Oil Sump Leaking 5. Gear Box Oil Sump Leaking 6. Holes in the exhaust pipes 7. Axle Oil needs replacing 8. Absorbers - All 4. [U]Exterior[/U] 1. Front Grill - Patah 2. Door Handle - Driver Side 3. Bodywork (Left side - Side skirt pecah, Front bonnet dented) & New Paint Job 4. All rubbers for the windows and doors [U]Engine Bay[/U] 1. Fuse Box Cover 2. Bonnet Cover 3. Relay for signal light - (Kaki relay dah patah) [U]Interior[/U] 1. OBC Display - What is the cost of one OBC unit from a Kedai Potong? 2. Air Cond Dial Panel - Can i convert using the digital from 328 model? 3. Rattling Glove Box 4. Carpets 5. Fuel gauge - sometimes it doesn't work. 6. Meter lighting (temp gauge) - gelap [U]From the OBC[/U] The OBC shows the following checks: 1. Coolant Level 2. Brake Circuit 3. Washer Level Issues: 1. The previous owner changed the coolant and engine oil before handing over the car to me. when i check, both (Washer & Coolant) are at the marked level. What's the issue here actually? is it the sensors? 2. The warning lights for the tranny went on every time i floored the throttle. After restarting the engine it will disappear. This happens everytime i floored the throttle. The warning light doesn't appear under normal driving conditions. What is the issue here? Is it the pressure regulator or because of the tranny oil leak? I'm putting aside around 12k to rebuild the car to run in acceptable condition. Do you all think it is enough? The car is a bargain due to its condition. Also hoping that you all can recommend to me a few good and decent priced "kedai potong", part shops and mechanic in KL & JB.
