Very nice, Ryan!
And like Midnite's 827, seat covers that have stayed nice and tight.
I think the stereo looks awesome. Could do with replacing my Mk1's speakers too.

Another hobby of mine, I restore vintage hoovers and other random household appliances, the vids are mainly for the benefit of collectors but they're quite handy for when i'm flogging them on ebay too, people like to see them in action before they buy them I guess

A quick update, after months of searching finally found a set of the correct wheeltrims for my 820E! Thanks to Craig Cheetham and a really helpful ebay seller

Wow, at last, good find.
Looks way better. Are they brand new?

Re: Ryan's 1987 820e (pic heavy)
Quick update for the sake of keeping the thread alive. Gordon the 820E is still alive and kicking. He's covered 1600 miles since February last year with no problems at all. He's been garaged over most of the winter but has been pressed into everyday use quite a few times and been there when others have failed to proceed.
He's sadly developed an annoying idling issue (lumpy idling) but is going in for his yearly service shortly. Hoping to get the bodywork niggles and headlining done before the summer arrives!

The lumpy idle sounds like one of two things, both cheap/easy fixes. First is dirty throttle body. second is the stepper motor needs resetting. Clean the throttle body internally with carb/auto-choke and injection cleaner, opening the butterfly to make sure you get all the "hidden" air channels/drillings and then reset the stepper motor as per the Haynes Book of Fantasy. I belive it's under the sectionabout if the battery has gone flat/been disconnected. THen drive it for about 200 miles and all should be well. May also be sticky tappets if it's been laid up a while - adding 500-1000ml of Dexron II to the engine oil will help clean the tappets out and restore it to a smooth idle etc. Try all three methods, all are cheap/free and one or other shold get it running sweet as the proverbial nut again!

Re: Ryan's 1987 820e (pic heavy)
Cheers Dave, that's useful information. I didn't think it would be anything too serious because it was fine before, it was actually one of the quieter smoother 820's i've owned. It gradually just got worse

You're welcome - i forgot to mention to check all your breather hoses and stubs to make sure they're clear as well.
