    Got the new coilovers today 😍, usual story of bumbling around at FedEx East Tamaki for longer than they took to get here from Australia. Super impressed with the packaging, look and quality of everything I've seen so far !! Will be a few weeks at least until I can get them installed. Likely will do an oil change at the same time and try some 5w40 (which i see is on special at the moment) to get a few more psi of oil pressure at idle.

    AA Insurance. With them for 5 years, only claim I've ever had was a chip in the windscreen 3 years ago that didn't even need a full replacement. Policy renewal documents dropped in the inbox. Yearly premium goes up by $100 whilst dropping the agreed value of the car down to $5.8k, a drop of 23%. Nevermind the excessive maintenance and modifications, go find any 6-cylinder E46 Touring for any sort of money, let alone sub $6k. Getting the car evaluated in the next few weeks and going with someone else. Useless pricks.

    What's the budget? I've got an E90 335d I'm looking to move on: 2011 M-Sport with HK sounds, 19" BMW Performance wheels wrapped in PS4S's, new intake manifold, a host of work done so I could do 20,000km a year reliably and use it as a daily.

    Engine seized up as engine ran out of oil (no dashboard warnings) and was only 6k after last oil change (stick gave me 10k ) Mechanic replaces car engine long block (6k - first mistake of mine but didn't have the time to go through looking for a new car etc). Get car back and once home check the engine bay and it looks like it got bukaked with all the white stuff inside the bay. Next day driving to get lunch and car shts itself as per coolant leak photo. Mechanic picks it up on tow truck. Get car back a few days later says something was loose all good now. few days later have oil spots on my driveway where I've parked, it's dropping from the transmission area. Mechanic said not sure where the leak is coming from and that they'll have to take it apart (at my cost) but that it's not a great time (was December 16th) - Said to monitor oil levels and bring back next year. Continue to drive and monitor the oil. Oil drops every single day wherever I park for a while after driving then stops, constantly check oil level and it's not dropping? take it to transmission specialist (see photo of their works/description) check oil level after they've done that work and it's showing bone dry, put 500ml in and it's just above the bottom amount. Finally get it back to original mechanic in February - Says leak is coming from between the transmission and the new long block they put in. Absolute shot in the dark but any lightbulbs shining of what it could be? Any idea of my legal standings if I take this guy to small claims (he said I'll have to pay for these repairs as well)
