Noticed several - aquas going around with their windows down during the weekend - I don't think A/C has a LOT of effect on fuel consumption in modern hybrids or modern cars as opposed to the older cars.· 5 replies
Also the heat will wear out the battery soon. I get we are all range anxious now due to the fuel crisis but still might be good to evaluate the pros and cons

So I checked couple of Rextons during the weekend (even during the fuel crisis, I went on hunting for a good one) and did close to 150km trip. I found a topping condition vehicle (i would say interior and exterior combined 96% good) out of all the vehicles i checked this was the best with proper pulling power no lag at all.· 2 replies
Now i'm kinda so much into it wanting to buy it ASAP. But with current situation, the asking price is little higher. As per my predictions, prices of these should reduce further within next two months. I hope the price of hybrids will not drop drastically compared to these.
So now i'm considering whether to wait another 1-2 months for this or shall I go ahead with the purchase? For that I need to get rid of my hybrid as well (these days i'm not sure people are purchasing vehicles due to high loan rates and finance rates).
Open for suggestions...

Question
mightymicra
Hiii,
Its been a very long time since I v last been here. I have came across a friend's car, A BMW 316 M10 (Carburetor) model. This car has been running ok and then was put to a garage where he wanted to do a carburetor swap. However things did not ended as planned and the car was sitting there with nothing and finally when he wanted it back the guy at the garage has said its not starting. My friend did not want to keep the car there anymore so we had to tow it back. Anyhow when we went there and asked the guy what might have been gone wrong he pointed some clip was broken in the distributor and this should be the problem. We towed it back to my place and then started to fix the broken clip. Still with no luck the car is not giving any spark. I was managed to get a workshop manual and checked the wiring and seems everything in order. This is a DCI model and there is a pulse generator in the distributor and my suspicion was this could be the problem. (The manual sates that if you remove the distributor assembly you might need to replace the signal plate "Which trigger the AC signal to the CDI").
So I know there are many experts with great knowledge in here and I would be glad if you could help me out with this to bring the beast back to life. (I am not an expert but trying to work my way up). So Thank you in advance to whole who can give me tips and ideas what should be done.
Cheers !!!!
