After attempting to get my 318i running after a year of neglect I began diagnosing what is wrong with it. I had to rewire the fule pump as I ran it for months with a wanked pump that had no strainer and melted some wires. I have continuity between the ECU and the relay, continuity between relay and pump, permanent live to the relay and earth to the relay.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

The ECU is directly below the battery, although inside the car. The battery in my car didn't have a plastic tray under it and it corroded. Once it corroded all the way through the body it allowed water and possibly battery crap to leak onto the ECU. It was the side facing upwards that suffered so badly. That's what seemed to happen anyway.
