Aa does.

You can get the shocks (Sachs), spark plugs and pollen filter for around $344 delivered. 

You have to give him the chance to put it right.

I don't think I'd be able to DIY due to my lack of experience. I bought this from a dealer a few months ago until I got an engine oil warning light lit up on my dashboard, after which I realized it's got all these issues. Do you reckon I should just get rid of it?

If you bought it from a dealer only a few months ago, look up the Consumer Guarantees Act, understand it and then take it back to the dealer. The problems won’t have “just suddenly” developed. There’s also the MVDI disputes process, although I wouldn’t out too much faith in that.

At over 6 years old, Continental BMW offer a basic fixed price service at $395 from memory. And it comes back clean. 

I have a F15 30d, love it. Reset the trip computer 3500kms ago, running at 8.9l/100km including the Auckland commute. Great for the family and just a nice thing to drive. It’s fast enough for the family.

Regular servicing, brakes and tyres after 37,000kms and 3 years.

There’s a coupe at Pickapart, Takanini I think.

Changing/replacing diff, replacing diff mount bush, anything else worthwhile doing while it’s out?

Mechanic just called, water pump is leaking. 

Was replaced by the dealer 2021, lets see how good Gazely Skoda in Wellington are at customer service...

Based on my experience, good luck.

Scored a brand new e30 air conditioning condenser (original BMW) in the box for $75.

You could be doing warp 10 and some tosser in a ute will be pissy about it.

Ranger Danger is real.

Once they “somehow” lose momentum on an uphill passing lane, they become less of a danger.

Costco has a tyre bay? They do fitting?

Sure do, got mine today. Hand torqued, even cleaned the wheels because they were covered in mud.

Thanks all - might have to go and become a member after all. 😂

The more evidence you have of it being a known issue and of cases being settled/recalled overseas and the more noise you make, the better chance you will have.

Do they publish the prices online?

You can call and they’ll give you them over the phone, have to go in to actually pay (and show your card).

Does Costco NZ sell Quickjacks? 

I’ll have a look next time, but it’s so massive, who knows?

Definitely cheaper , replaced full sets on  Suburu and BMW  but like Palazzo says only Bridgestone, Michelin, BF Goodrich (Decent Brands at least)

Michelin was my choice anyway, had them before and very happy.

I’ll drag this up. 
Got two 275/40/20 Michelin PS4s for $464 fitted and balanced. 
About $160 cheaper per tyre, only stock Bridgestone, Michelin and BF Goodrich.

A nz new BMW 125d F20, had no idea such a thing existed. Neither does the owner as they fail to pay RUC.

Qualitat in Penrose?

I think the mirror caps are on fb? Carbon fibre?

Vin decoder says you have xenon.

I was referring to the Cayenne. Should have been clearer.
