The closest in the Haynes set is
BMW 1602 & 2002 '59-'77 - ref H240.
If your serious about getting it going it will be worth joining the
BMW owners club (phone 0362 691144 for info) at �20 a year.
The free information pack they send out (before you join) will give you
a list of available tech books, road tests and specialist suppliers
of BMW bits and services.
By joining you'll get access to free technical advice etc etc
Good Luck

| Thanks for the club address and the Haynes reference.
I have ordered the Haynes Manual, and I will ring the club.

| Paul,
Is the 1800 the four-dour body shape? I think these cars still had a
lot of mechanical components in common with the later 1602/1802/2002,
and would probably have the same four-cylinder engine, which has an
alloy head that can be prone to problems. If so, then it is possible
that the '02 specialists Jaymic in Norwich may be able to help with
parts, or at least point you in the right direction. You can reach
them on 0263 512883.
I'm sure there are two BMW clubs, the Drivers' Club and the Car Club,
one independent and one linked to BMW, but I don't recall which is
which. I don't know which club the 'phone no. in .1 refers to, but
I'll look up the other one for you this evening.
If it's any use at all, I have a BMW factory workshop manual for my
2002 (expensive), which I could lend you if you wish; I think it covers
the smaller engine capacities as well.
Good luck with your project!

| The 1800 is indeed similar looking to the 02 shape, but has 4 doors
and a huge boot.
Thanks for the loan offer, I have ordered the Haynes Manual though.
I'll see if Jaymic can help.

| 2297.6 | Will this fit??? | BLKPUD::WHITTLEI | Seyson swason cat uh! | Fri Sep 02 1994 14:20 | 11 |

If the head is the same as the one fitted to the 2002, then I've got a
practically bare one in my garage. If you want it you're welcome to it.
I bought it when I had a 2002 Tii "just in case", but as I've long
since sold said vehicle it's surplus to requirements. Contact me if you
want it and I'll sort out getting it to you.
