    Link fixt. I'd missed a ':' D'oh. I just had to look and see who Lori is. So glad I made the effort. T'other one is a wagon and drag. ;-) Besides, Italy calls them lorries. At least, Ettore Bugatti did, when referring to the big green creations of WO Bentley... (I suppose that doesn't really count, eh?) And thanks for the welcome. I was thinking yesterday during my drive home, while looking at the Waikato and hills beyond, how lucky we are to be here.

    It's crazy what the unreliable BMW stigma and petrol prices are doing to these cars value. That's probably more of a steal than my 2k e34.

    Haha, goddamnit. Not what I mean. The only competition that should have won is what not to do to a 318i. Such gross. Wow. No fast. Look bad.

    Everyone to their own....the car world would be boring if we all had the same tastes. I just want to know why on earth someone would fit a tow bar on a convertible.

    Those disks look f**ked to me. When my brakes squeal its because they are crying for a good work out. Hire Ronan, watch chase seen, emulate in you car, profit.

    Yes, all just rebadged Daewoo, Isuzu etc. Certainly a shame about the Commodore though. I started losing interest in the standard models (outside of HSV) from the VE platform. Great looking car outside, but pretty tacky in. The new one resembles a Camry with an aftermarket bodykit. Being one of the last mainstream manufacturers still using the front engine/rear drive platform it's a real blow to motoring enthusiasts. I'm sure I won't be the only one sad about this latest, although not unexpected, development. Will leave the Au govt in a real spot when 50,000 extra bodies start lining up for the dole

    I think it's a huge shame. I love my Turbo Falcon and think it's massive value for money, for what I wanted it for a, V8 Commodore was also on the list. Having driven it for a while now, why anyone would rather drive a slow, roly poly SUV is beyond me.

    The EU4 engine was built from September 2003. I've seen suggestions that the EGR valve can be cleaned and disabled on the EU3 engine, but if going to the trouble to remove it for cleaning, surely simply not putting it back (and using a suitable pipe to replace it) is a better idea? I'm not sure what error codes this might raise, or if some sort of 'disable' configuration would still be required. The EU4 engine had much more stringent emissions controls and the EGR valve is different; it has some sort of electronic interface. It can still be deleted/removed, but obviously there is a little more to consider before starting that process. There's an option for each here. A cheaper option is to remove the vacuum pipe and stick a golf tee in it. If the engine is an EU3 it's kind of job done; if its EU4 what ever you do will raise the EML, but that can be mapped out. For me though, I'd prefer to do the job properly. Incidentally, the EU3 and EU4 injectors for the M47TUD20 are different and have to be coded; the EU3 injectors use a 6-digit code, the EU4s have a 7-digit code.

    Depends how much you have... If not enough for the m3 I could sell you a sweet c notched hilux, or a e36 touring, or a 97 accord if your hard up! But to be honest for what they're going for now its not worth selling it for what I've spent on it making it pretty much new again... Hoping for a good increase in a few years... Early retirement maybe
