People who keep taking my freakin stapler!

^ oh my god.. Edit: Last time when my mercedes wouldnt start i tried a few things before taking it into coutts. One of the parts i replaced was the camshaft sensor, brand new part. Fault turned out to be the fuel pump and was covered under mechanical insurance ($2000 job but paid $300 excess) but theh charged me another $200 for... you guessed it, a camshaft sensor. Obviously i wasnt impressed and talked to the manager who refunded me straight away.

Maybe you should manual convert it?

^I hate when you flat with people who put like 2 plates a cup and one f**king spoon and turn the dishwasher on a heavy cycle.

looks gooooood those exhaust tips look nice and clean!

Wow, so I finally put my original VANOS unit back in. It's been a while since I rebuilt the solenoids and I've been using Mark's (SweetM3) spare unit in the meantime. Suffice to say I was very, very lucky to have that option and am very grateful. Nevertheless I totally forgot about it until the other day and still had my rebuilt unit sitting in a bag in the garage! Needed to get Mark's back to his shelf. So I swapped them over yesterday and today and checked my valve clearances at the same time (most between max and out of spec). Happy to report that it all went smoothly! Everything fired up first time and the VANOS passed the DIS test with flying colours! This is (hopefully) my final VANOS journey now that not only have I done the seals and rattle kit, I've also cleaned and re-soldered the solenoids having dug them out of the gunk that a PO installed many years ago. Touch wood!

Hi guys Trying to source a e30 m3 engine for sale. Any condition considered as I know we won't be spoilt for choice! Will be going to a very good home. Any contacts / leads would be greatly appreciated... Cheers James

Wow thats pretty insane, at that price its worth throwing some money at it to get it up to scratch, if its mechanically sound that is. Otherwise a wicked parts car

It's all good mate, 1uf is a tried and tested solution. And since my "oem spec" 0.47 blew out I wasn't going to try that again!

Don't know why I bother at times in here

If you had it on your watchlist you can click the "Ask the seller to relist this item" link that pops up when you view the auction in your "Items I lost" list.

Have M3 headers on my 325i E36, the M50B25tu to be exact. Actually crazy how much they change the engine, they're pricey but nothing good is cheap.

Wait, your cupholder works?

taking your car into Mercedes for a check light, getting told there's an air leak and they replace the whole intake system, $3500 later. Check light comes back on the next day. FFS

BM Workshop Grey Lynn (09) 3761250 ring me first for a deal

Send an email to trademe help. Ask them if they could relay your details to the seller... They might not due to privacy reasons... Worth a shot anyway...

have plenty also or lock nut kits and maybe some spare keys there are about 40 combo's of the older and 40 or the newer types , I also know of a good way to remove without the key

the lemon is strong in this one damn..... my e38 panzer with 300K is still chuggin silky smooth. everything works and only thing leaking is the power steering reservoir

imo get some proper pictures and chuck it on trademe. it will surely sell despite being in dunners

Just got a quote this morning for a genuine OEM RF IR key cut and coded to our Jap import E39, $242 + GST. Non - remote type was $140ish + GST. Far cheaper than I had anticipated and genuine parts instead of dubious quality knockoffs. Doubt they would do a group buy discount as each key is an individual item, could be worth asking though? Edit: mistaken key identity

I don't care what anyone says, if its does not have a third pedal its not a manual transmission.
