    It just occured to me that Global Priority would probably deliver to your postal service which would not fix the problem on your end. Might be worth an email to Amazon to see who the carrier is for their expidited serivce, though.

    Could I not pay someone on here to scan their book and send it to me over email?

    To make it smaller, putting it into a zip and compressing it will shave a fe MB off it?

    Get your pick-up sensors checked , altho I must agree with the rest of the guys. your petrol pump looks very dodgy ! need to get that fixed. Glad to see I'm not the only E34 Fan here in Gauteng

    I'm in Centurion, I wanna check your car some time.... should meet up or something.

    Rob, that rev "limited" issue looks similar to the coil problem I had years ago. You see, when the coil heats up, it stops functioning. Mine was 3K rpm then. Would work well cold, then the car practically died and when I left it for 15 mins, it was fine again. In my case, I was in the race track, the car stopped twice at the same spot, then I limped back to the pits and got a tech to look at it. Yes, it was the Coil ok. Put in an Alfa Romeo coil and it worked better. My ignition cables were also going south then as it gave the Tech a nasty shock when he was poking around the top of the cylinder head. I got new BMW coil and Ignition wires and the car ran fine after that. Sure was a tricky one and not a usual suspect.
    Your engine is M20B25 right ?.

    Rob. keep posting your observations. I think the collective brains here can help you faster than a Bentley+time+ effort and probably with less argony. Most of us went thru the period of "knowing the car" intimately, then drive the daylights out of it and repeating the process. Heck, I got two E34 with different engine types and tranny types just to enjoy the difference, plus the occasional DIYs can be very satisfying at times. Mostly a bit of a chore as the car aged. But when you switched new suspension parts, it seems to "come alive" again in a different way. Very spirited vehicle, I would say.

    Wow, thanks, emw525E34.

    I'm putting the battery in the car this afternoon. Going to test again and see what happens. I've just got the fuel pump back as well. Also managed to get a copy of the Bentely manual, if I need it. This Sunday I'm doing a lot of work on my car. I've made a big list of all the things and little hings that need checking. Next month she;s getting an oil changed as well.

    The rev limiter, urm, I that problem only lasted and acurred once since I've had the car. Listen, once I'm home I'll run a few more tests and post my results tomorrow morning as well.

    I want to put new suspension in there, but my main point of focuse right now is to get the power back into the engine.

    Very nice reply from you, appericate it.
    What's your real name, if you don't mind me asking?

    Thank you.

    Edit: Yes, it's the 2.5L, 6 Cylinder M20 engine.
