    The Government plans to begin charging for free data, including accurate stolen vehicle status, in October 2023 as part of the planned "Fees review". I appreciate the need to save/acquire money, but surely this is a service, and not a chargeable opportunity? Carjam has a petition running to try to get this decision reversed: https://petitions.parliament.nz/8c2c524b-aab2-46c1-aec4-08db97b83688

    Changed the Rotors and Pads and all the small brake bits on my 130 on the weekend. Was the easiest and smoothest brake change I have ever done. It makes such a difference when the person who last did something on your vehicle did it correctly with the correct tools and the right amount of care. So thanks to @GorGasm for either doing this right or having had someone capable of doing it. Also those brakes lasted 70K which is amazing. Febi Bilstein pads and rotors came off. Brembo pads and rotors went on.

    Signed. What a stupid thing to be doing. In saying that though, what is the source of the claim?

    Considering this is accessing an api of which will be costing the Government a massive sweet F all.. I think I will sign.

    I think I'm about to take on an e46 330ti compact project and manual swapping with a ZF 5 speed at the same time. Pricing it all up sometimes makes the eyes water. It's definitely the details that add up.

    Check out the dealer that is selling it. Buy sh*t car. Clean it. List it for silly price. Wait for muppet to buy it. Repeat. Obviously works quite well. Example: 10K for a 86 Corolla. And we are not talking anything you would actually want. http://www.xtmotors.co.nz/used-cars-for-sale/149778

    So 5 years to the day after my wife's Golf GTI got side swiped by a kid learning to drive while we were having breakfast at the local cafe, the M5 got backed into at the same cafe. Thankfully both times someone witness and recorded the whole thing for me and then found me to provide all the evidence. Without sounding like a racist POS, the "taxi" driver in a Prius backed into it, got out, freaked the f*ck out and then ran for it. So I need a new drivers headlight, support panels, guard and possibly liner which had some rubbing on the way home, front bumper is cracked and possibly the bonnet has a tweak. Who do I go to when insurance asks to get this properly fixed and not just thrown together and kicked out the door. In this age of CCTV and cell phone cameras why do people think they can get away with this sort of BS. This picture is after I pulled everything off the tire, I only got a wheel alignment done two days ago FFS!
