Oh maybe was thinking of the airbag module. I knew there was something behind it!
Yeah I wouldn’t worry too much about the immobiliser, mine seemed to still work and I didn’t do anything and I’m a proper ham fisted idiot when it comes to fixing things.
If it’s second hand and got a map on it then it might run better than mine did on start up.
Isn’t the immobiliser on a different ECU behind the gear stick? I never did anything about an immobiliser on mine
I did have a lot of help from others on here doing this! But my argument was if I can do it anyone one can 🤣
I hated doing the ECU changes as that was an expensive piece of kit that I didn’t want to ruin!
Oh might want to chuck some sacrificial spark plugs in when you start it for the first...
Consider yourself lucky it’s just been a months, this has been my life for the past 6 years 🤣
I can sympathise with the support rota crap. I work on a system that is never allowed to fail or go down. I’m a part of the 3rd line support team for it and it’s the worst part of my job dealing with...

I’ve got my Z3 for sale which is pretty much an E36…..it’s a lot better value than the equivalent E36 2.8 manual or M3 (it’s a manual 2.8 with an M50 manifold and all suspension and steering stuff refreshed and BC Racing coil overs…)
Doing ITBs was the best way to waste thousands on improve my old Ph1. Would I do it again? Yes. Have even looked up ITB kits for my Z3 because having that noise is addictive.
My quick eBay earlier showed they were £15k-ish which is ok imo for what it is but then a few years back were just about sub £10k. Maybe one to get, keep nice and watch the value climb?
Mainly because of BL rust 🤣 it was fast for what it was but still like trying to wrangle a super tanker through the Suez Canal. In hindsight saving the E30 donor car would have been a better deal than hacking it apart for a Triumph. Only was a 2000 as the Dolomite Sprint we looked at for the...
