Do you go under your leaf so you don't have to look at the top of your leaf?

Surplus cars to be cleared. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/325i/listing/4752621337 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/4877977577?bof=fv8NoazO

Dont have to look at its ugly little frog face when im driving it, so thats something i guess.

I rolled a facelift ZE1, the cops said I'd turned over a new Leaf.

Quickjack doesnt take up that much space, you can even buy hangers to hang the frames standing up against a wall now. I have my pump and hoses coiled up on an old rolling seat that tucks away under my work bench when not in use. Ill use my jack and stands if i only need one end of the car lifted, IF the jacking points are easily accessible. Anything where i need the car clear off the ground, particularly if you need it level (like gearbox oil changes), or if the jacking points sucks to access (low car life usually) ill use my quickjacks. I've had all sorts on mine. Everything from my Classic Mini, to my Leaf on the weekend. I rate them highly for garages that dont have the space for a proper lift.

Couple-a rivnuts and a nice euro plate frame would've fixed that monstrosity too 😆 Plate frame the world.

Mine are pretty old fellas now, had them 5 or 6 years. 5000SLX (replaced with the TL now). Got them from Sulco. Friend just picked up some 5000TLs recently, also from Sulco. Funny you mention that, also did the caster mod on the weekend. So much easier to slide around on the floor now

Just got the plates today and went to town on the rear bracket. On second look it was slightly different to yours but essentially the same. Mine had a bottom part connecting both sides as well that I've mostly trimmed off now. Here's what's left of it. Can see how far down it extended originally from where the paint is damaged. Will need to touch those up.

233,7xx km Treats! Swapped out a few more coils and the misfire went away. Setup PIDs in fusionOBD and have logged a few trips. The Long term fuel trims are at 6.5% on both banks which seems kinda high considering + - 3% is spec. When I get the chance I’m hoping to log a motorway cruise and hopefully someone can take a look at my data. Went a head and bought new coils as figured it’s about time I swapped those out for brand new ones, got some extra bits and pieces to make the most of the expensive shipping. Air filter old and new. The new ones got a foam kinda backing on it that the old one didn’t have. Cabin filter wasn’t as gross but that’s replaced now too.

Hmm very interested in this. Still following the guys in the US with the ITB kit too.

May of come across as a insult but anyone who knows these cars knows it was a tongue in cheek comment. The advise about is correct though. The majority of owners can't afford preemptive maintenance these require to be reliable so they aren't visiting the workshop regularly for repairs. This tends to exacerbate the fact that being already being base model run around with low entry cost, that they aren't maintained as well as higher end models. As for the original question - BM Workshop and Eurocare are the main places ive seen recommend but it can depend on what work you require

I spent a little time today tidying up some of the text. Long strings tend to flicker a little if the whole string is re written - like the time 00:00:00. Now I'm writing each set of digits individually and only if they change so there is no more flicker. Also, played around with some backgrounds, font colour changes and changed the icons for the Halo & Time. Here's the new screens (but almost anything is possible).
