  1. You would need to use the tape in such a way that air and crap can't get under it. Pm me a picture of the spoiler sitting on the boot
  2. Yes the Bear one. I've been using it for years.. Is it just a lip type spoiler ? Not a wing type ?
  3. Bunnings sell it. The one I use is waterproof 16mm wide and has a dark green backing tape. It's super strong as well.
  4. Try pricing the change over then make a decision. See what your up against price wise to get a solution that's satisfactory
  5. You can buy bluetooth adapters that plug into the AUX that will bluetooth music and allow hands free calling
  6. Have a talk to Stuart at Stu's Trim shop in Manukau
  7. Have you had it scanned ?.....Note: Fault codes and live data, not just a "P" code reader list
  8. Professionals don't use that type of equipment usually. I don't know who may be able to help you. Now that you have tried you may have over complicated this now.
  9. The closest I can recommend would be BM Workshop in Grey Lynn
  10. Your probably at a point now where you will need professional help with this. What area do you live in ?
  11. Talk to Express Keys in Penrose. The blade keys should only be used as a back up. The remote key should be used all the time .
  12. Very dark or black oil in a auto trans means burnt clutch plates. It normally smells burnt as well. Caused by slipping, warn out clutch plates. Some times when the linings disintegrate the clutch plates weld themselves together causing a trans lock up. Either way it's terminal - trans out, rebuild and torque converter overhaul with a trans cooler and line flush.
  13. Servicing the transmission won't help or fix it if it is the lock up clutch in the torque converter. The linings in the clutch will be knackered and the torque converter will need a rebuild.
  14. That's the symptom for a faulty lockup clutch in the torque converter. Usually occurs at around 2,000rpm with light throttle load
  15. The only way to find out is go have a look and then if your keen get a PPI done with the local dealer or Jon at Auto38
  16. I suggest you get it checked by a professional BMW specialist or a BMW dealer
  17. This might help https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f10-520d-lim/wiring-functional-info/body/general-vehicle-electrical-system/trailer-towing/trailer-trailer-coupling-release/1VnXWkKdVx
  18. Both. Check with your local BMW dealer
  19. Take into Jon at Auto38 in Wellington and get it scanned properly
  20. Just used it twice to antifoul my launch as in the blue you can see in the photos
  21. You will need the keys for both to do the swap or a locksmith
  22. Service managers have to account for workshop profitability by the bean counters upstairs. There has to be a spread of warranty & retail work to account for monthly figures. That is why dealership hourly rates are higher than interdependent repairers and your local garage.
  23. Only if it doesn't interfere with retail work at the higher rate and profit on parts
