[rancido64]

any chance you're in dublin? 2 door 316/318, yeah?

It's one of the two hoses at the back and on the passenger side of the engine that go into the firewall (the ones that provide the waterflow for the heating blowers).
It's the one of the two that connects slightly lower on the bulkhead

ben in limerick has loads! best ratio...

not any more he doesn't, they all went in the last 2 days on e30owners.com
this'll do, it'll be a vast improvement on mine anyway, checked it this morning... 4.5 turns from lock to lock

Thanks to Dave-Msport for pointing out to dopey ole me that since i've bought a PS rack and my yoke doesn't have PS i need to get the reservoir, pump, and piping too. So off to the breakers with me again during the week.

Ok....

diff got welded today, was duly tested out in a *ahem* private area....
very happy with the results

replaced a pipe that had split and was causing a minor case of the overheatings

ordered the plastic bearing and the bushing that i'll be needing to replace when i stick in the shortshifter
