  1. Only the owner of the land the car is parked on can legally get it removed...or the owner. You can't touch it or move it without creating an offence for yourself
  2. Now replace the lock assembly... that is where the problem is. You can get to that lever from outside the car as well by taking off the outer window moulding and pushing the lever down with a long thin implement. The moment you try to open it with the outside handle it will jam again. A common problem on quite a few BMW's
  3. Is the trim panel on or off the door ?
  4. Start by getting it scanned by a person who understands what they are doing
  5. Build date 2008 Registered in Japan Imported from Japan And on the NZ papers it will be first registered in NZ 2010. Registration has nothing to do with build date
  6. Forum rules... a price is required in the For Sales Section on the Forum. Either fix a price or the thread goes AWOL in the morning
  7. Have you tried playing pass the parcel with the children on this site ? https://www.facebook.com/groups/bmwnz/
  8. Wrong forum to be trying to sell this.... Try https://www.facebook.com/groups/mercedesbenzautoclub/
  9. I got caught like this a couple of years ago on a E39 528i. Some a**hole removed a thermostat and fitted a frost plug into the head where the flow direction part of the thermostat should seat, so that water would circulate correctly without thermostat control. I fitted a thermostat while doing cooling system repairs and ended up with the results you are getting. I only found it because the car was on a hoist and raised slightly and I saw it while removing and rechecking the thermostat. The cheap a**hole might have worked on your car as well sometime.... I have photos somewhere
  10. That would cause a short and blow a fuse
  11. You need a new regulator
  12. You cannot leave a thermostat out of a BMW...it is bi functional and controls flow direction differently when hot & cold. You also leave it running while you bleed it to release air from the system. A faulty / blocked heater tap can also prevent the bleeding process as Andy has indicated. You must have temp settings at maximum range especially on duo systems without the heater fan running.
  13. The "optionals" would be the automatic engine oil and coolant recycling system which fills the stone tray and gets emptied when the service is carried out
  14. I would say it's not bled properly and you've got an air lock
  15. Once.. then recompress and load another bait bullet. It takes 90-110 seconds to pump up to 130 psi
  16. I've got 12 bait moulds made from spare barrel material that I'll be loading with a 5oz sinker, trace, 2 hooks and mussel berlie which will be getting frozen. I'll post pictures when I do that. The fancy trigger gives you much more distance because of a very fast release

    Quick rant thread.

    V12 manifold rubber intake elbows @ $600 X 4 = $$$$ last time a bought them
  18. I'm just as guilty.. no apologies necessary ...all good
  19. Hanging ?? not sure what you mean
  20. Not the correct procedure
  21. Dip sticks are long gone on transmissions and engines these days. Nathan... the transmission must be filled on a level plane in park with engine running after initial fill. Then run the motor and go through all the gears. Reposition in park and top up. Run the transmission up to 45c temperature and recheck the level. You really need a scanner to check live data for temp settings. Allow excess oil to drain and cap off.
  22. Finally got my proto type finished. Adjustable range finder, rod launcher converts to rod holder after launching. Breaks down for minimalistic storage. 2 barrels 1.5 & 1.25m. All safety systems installed to operate at max 150psi... Any questions ? fire away
  23. My niece Sharn Steadman was there too http://www.driven.co.nz/news/motorsport/hahei-heaven-on-two-wheels/
  24. Hope it all goes well for you Nathan... keep your fingers crossed... time will reveal all
  25. Talk to Joe @ Eurosurgeon in Penrose
