Repair Costs

[cliff]

Please feel free to toss any repair estimates out toward myself...parts, labor and whatever...I think I can provide a 'low-ball' estimate as I am a cheapo...as a pensioner I must have to be...(I don't like it either, but it gives me time)....peace....cliff

How much to do a rear wheel bearing and a rear solid brake line on my E34? Parts and labour (in hours, not $)

 

[E30m42cab]

Clutch kit on my E30, with new centre drive shaft support... and throw in a used blower motor.

 

[E30m42cab]

How much for a set of factory fog lights for a 1988-1993 E30, installed.

 

[E30m42cab]

How long should it take to change the spark plugs on my E34?

 

[Doughnut]

Full m30b35 into RHD e30 with full custom exhaust and engine mounts labour hours and price, how much to shorten balance my e24 tailshaft to be used with my getrag 265?

How do I make my auto motronic 1.3 m30 wiring loom work with my manual l-jetronic chassis harness?

Need these answers ASAP PLEASE!

figure $200 tops for parts (including stainless steel on the brake line(s))... and 2 hours labor..$400 tops and that's way high

as far as the auto motronic to manual l-jetronic chassis harness goes I would recommend purchasing a new car....what I would suggest however is replacing
your rear brake calipers with drums from the 76 2002...much more responsive and are a direct swap out....cliff

I'd figure 7 hours on the spark plug deal, you have to remove the hood and cylinder head to do that....cliff

A little high, $70 for the bearing, $10 for line, 2 1/2 hrs for labour.

Actually, I would suggest using your factory E30 engine harness engine harness with the M30... you'll need to lengthen some wires for injectors, but that way it'll hook right up to the chassis harness.

I can't figure out how to open my hood... I pulled the latch, but I can't find the safety latch at the front of the hood... what now?

7 hours to change spark plugs? Remove hood and cylinder head?

Someone is having us on here, this is too outrageous!

I don't know what you're talking about... You quoted yourself... I was serious about the plugs.

I think cliff just found his sense of humour.

About time.

Keep it up.

 

[cliff]

truth

obviously I was kidding about the removal of the head, actually you must drop the sub-frame and lower the engine to get to the plugs, this is why I get kicked off but I can't help myself...sorry, I only mean the best.....cliff
