I'm looking to extend/splice some wiring in my engine bay (traction control actuator) and I'm no sure what type of wire I need.
Any idea how I can find out? The car is a BMW E36.
So it seems to be a re-occurring theme on this forum but I have moved over to the BMW darkside. I had a Clio 172 Cup previously:

Absolutely loved the Clio but I've had a BMW itch for a while that just wouldn't quit. Hence I bought an 328i Sport e36 in...
Chaps,

Above is my Cup for sale. Just putting this out there really. Any opinions on the add will be appreciated too.
I took my film camera out for the first time in ages in the last few days so I went to Elephant + Castle in London to the Heygate estate, it is a great place and a lot of the bill was filmed there back in the day. Some of it is being knocked down but there is still some solitary occupied flats...
I've tried the search function but I couldn't find the answer I'm after. The strips on my 172 cup are starting to drive me mad, they look s**t half the time and I'm constantly trying to keep them topped with trim restorer.
My question is, were there any other 1*2's that came in Mondial blue? If...
As suggested in the title!

Haven't got the camera out in ages. I always feel that the images aren't sharp enough annoyingly. I shot at F8 hoping that this would help along with a lens hood but they are still...

Any tips for the ad?? Can't help but feel I've come across as a bit of a bell.
Cheers
Hi gents,
I've done a search and can't seem to find the info I need.
Basically I'm looking to refresh all of the engine mountings on my 172 cup as there is a lot of engine movement and feels quite jerky in traffic. I have a dog bone mount already, but I am not sure how many others there are...
Because of some complete bellend stopping on a blind bend yesterday, I had to put the car onto the kerb instead of up his rear.
My question is, can powder coated alloys be touched up? The kerbing isn't that bad, I'll attach a picture.

Spent a bit of time and money on the cup since I bought it about 5 months ago including a wheel refurb and lowering. I gave it a clean today and took it out for some pictures. Really content with the car, only a few more things to do and I'll leave it be (hopefully). My plans are a remap, anti...
Hi all,
After owning an RX-8 and the constant problems it gave me, I wanted something cheap and fun. This came up in the next town over so I snapped it up! I bought it at 63,000 with FSH, minus the belt change, but the previous owner had just spent 1k on it so it's really well looked after...
Hi all
I have a mate who works at Brands Hatch and he gets free entry for all the events. So we went along to Chelmsford Rally Club's day Sunday gone and couldn't resist snapping the 172 while there.

I've been lurking in the shadows for a while now but I thought I'd share this. Finally got round to machine polishing it with the DA - used some new Zaino stuff and it really has brought the colour out. I wanted to take it out and get a good location for photos with the camera but literally...
Coming out of Moncktons Lane, 172 cup on grey turinis and lowered, lady in the passenger seat. Didn't get a great look as I was in my own world! I was in a standard 172 cup,.
Hi guys
I have a 53 plate 172 cup and I have been having trouble starting from warm. It starts and runs fine but once it warms it develops a very slight missfire. If you turn it off hot and leave it for anymore than 5-10 minutes it struggles to start, turning over freely but takes a while to...
So after 3 days of constantly chucking up I have begun to feel better, but not good enough to go out on the piss yesterday. So after 2 hours on the internet I couldn't sit indoors any longer. Cue driving around for random photo oppertunities.
Some of the better ones

Right!
Since buying my 2003 Clio 172 cup, I thought it had been running a bit funny. Today confirmed this when it started missing really badly (sounding like a lawn mower) before throwing on the check engine light. Code reader gives code P0302 which is really handy as this is specific to a...
Hi all. New to the club with my recent purchase, a 172 cup.

Only the one bad iPhone photo, I'll update once I have some decent ones after a proper clean/protection. It's on 64k FSH) needing a cambelt, already made enquiries on here about doing a proper job...
