Hello oldie friends and knowers of the vehicle electrics, as you can guess from my signature, recently an older Italian diva ran to me, a Giulietta Sprint from the noble sex of the Alfa Romeo. So far so good. Unfortunately I had to find out today that obviously the battery is not charged. The insidious (for non-bayers: the perfide) thing is that the control light for the charging current lights up quite normally when the ignition is switched on and at the Sta The engine runs out (well, it still glimmers in the idle, but as soon as you press something on the right pedal, the Lamp goes off). That’s why I didn’t notice it until I wanted to start again after a tank stop. I’m rather blessed with two left hands and ten thumbs and from everything where current flows through I leave my fingers anyway. Please don’t fall like the vultures about me, if I write nonsense now. My guess is that the Alternator supplies power, which then also arrives at the control light, but does not find up to the battery (sounds logical for me, but can also be nonsense…). Did I understand that so far correctly? If I am right, what could be the reason that the battery is not charged? Otherwise, everything really works, I suppose that the battery is integrated into the “normal current circuit”. Can I use alternator and controller as a Fe if the control light works normally? Or do the two manage to outwit the light (isn’t it the brightest thing )? Would be nice if someone could free me from my ignorance! Thank you and many greetings, Cephalotus

Moin, I have been interested in the series E28, i.e. BMW 5 of ́81- ́87 and especially for the 525 eta. I am thinking of getting a copy as a everyday car, because I find the design of this series simply very successful and striking and the cars are also a bit rust-resistant than the W123, which I still worship as well. I just don’t have a garage and no space and no money to buy a winter car and the beloved youngtimer only i It has to be rust-resistant and also reliable and reasonably economical, driving about 25000 km a year. I had just thought about the eta. Can you drive the normal gasoline? Where is the consumption in normal driving mode with a lot of federal road share? How does it look with spare parts? Can you convert the factory cat to Euro 2? How long do these engines last on average? At autoscout there is one in it for 1800 €, with 194000 on the clock, on the other hand s Hannover (I didn’t get the link), I would be interested in him. Maybe someone knows this guy well? At e12e28.de there is already a lot, but that’s not quite enough for me. Thanks for information. Greeting from the turbine

Hello you love! My name is Heiko Waldmüller and I’ve been playing a Volvo Amazon as a first car for a good week. The problem is following… I don’t know about classic cars at all, I’m kind of a cross-country entrant. More precisely, it’s about this one here: http://suchen.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html?… Now my problem is… I don’t know if something like this is suitable for everyday use. Many people I’ve already talked to advise me about it. because you can’t drive it in winter, can’t leave it outside, it’s not safe or it’s vulnerable to damage. I wanted to ask you what you think about it, because most of the people I’ve asked have more life experience than me, but they’re not really experts, let alone that they have an old car themselves… Even if it probably sounds bad for a classic car lover, but I’m not interested in car care, like My left eyeball, but to use it just like a normal car. What do you think? I would be very happy about answers!
