    O.k Toby I'll pass mate it was the leather inserts that need changing in mine and unless outer replacements are mint, not worth changing over thanks for the offer though.

    Hi,

    It is hard to tell from the picture but you have the central bit around gear selector, ash tray etc?

    Jono went to PM you but your mailbox is full,

    Thanks Jono, just got a quote from garage $3,500 for the E39 to get a warrent, and they got a $1,000 of me last month, so might need to put the exterior on hold for a little while,

    Well ex wife just returned my car (1999 E39 540). Drivers door inside door opener broken, right hand fog light disappeared as has most of the bumper (someone must have backed into me - yeah right).

    So question is does anyone have these items for sale? :o

    I'm sure you'll find it just needs a new PCV valve, a set of new plugs, clear the fault codes and adaptions, road test...recheck for fault codes and you'll be back on the road again. We do a couple of these every month with the same syptoms as yours... stop worrying and just get it fixed

    Thanks Glen hope your right

    It sounds like it's running on about 4 cylinders, indications are either PCV or head gasket but no tell tale signs like milky oil or big loss of water, so I thought getting the codes read would be the best next step, I am hesitant to drive it anywhere to get them read though, hence the question if anyone in Wellington had a code reader I could borrow.

    Has anyone any ideas on why the dip stick tube is sucking a lot of air, I thought someone with a mechical background may know what this would generally point to. Can a lack of oil result in blown head gasket, oil is not milky and water is o/k.

    Car started blowing heaps of white smoke, checked water and antifreeze both o/k, low on oil, filled up oil, now sounds like its running 6 cylinders with the engine continuing to blow smoke, engine image is flashing on left hand side of dash, take out dip stick and a lot of air getting sucked in through dip stick tube.

    Any ideas ? before I take it to the doctor.

    Who best and not too expensive in Wellington or any knowledgeable mechanics looking for a home job.
