hi uncle aziz,

I read your thread from page 1 till 15.... initially you were saying the speedometer was not functioning and that you've detected the root cause, mind elaborate it a little bit?

reason is, i'm looking at an E30 with a non-functioning speedometer.... trying to figure out the possibilities that causes it other than changing the whole meter?

thanks a lot!

btw, your car looked GREEEEEAAAAAAATTTTTT!!!!!!!

Been reading this thread with so much interest. Congrats on your gorgeous car. I love it just the way it is!

Btw uncle aziz, did you manage to solve your dead pixel issue? I'd love to hear how you did it...

The main culprit is ASC unit....once failure the impact will be driving the car without :

Speedometer /ABS /DSC [Traction Control]/Mileage Calculated/Trip Mileage Meter/Fuel Consumption 1 or 2/
Auto Lock/Cruise Control/Temp Gauge Read 31* - 33* [even though it was much warmer than that]

.....but for e30 might be due to other reason. You can check with e30 forumers .
I also own e30 and once experienced the same problem ....check the connecting cables behind the unit and plug in again, it works

Tak jadi masaalah....tapi lambat sikit sbb insurance adjuster hv to check the car once restoration job is completed before they release to me ( to confirm damage parts hv been replaced by workshop authority) ....... will notify you.

I`m still keeping this old design headlight ( still good , no scratch)...WTS cheap.
Sorry to ask...which part of this hdlght set can be used to e38?.. I hv another set similar to this.

 

[uncle aziz]

The front rubber cover looks ugly......need to press 2 /3 times before locking/unlocking ( changed with new batery) .....looking for replacement . Pl notify

My advise is try to get from the BMW dealer. I've ordered one from ebay and the material is soo made in China feeling and not waterproof. The original will be waterproof so worth buying

Do u mean the light when u switch off/on the exterior light or the buttons light which only illuminates when u press it?

My air con switch that look like the mesin basuh switch (the manual air con switch) sometimes the light (when u trun on the exterior light) not functioning. What i do is only knock gently at the panel and it'll alive again. Maybe the night bulb contact point is not good. U can try that first...then let me know ya
