Thats right Ray...but he wants to remove the ASC throttle body

Didnt see man on his signature.. I thought he meant I've got a 328 "man" Yes but if he removes it from the system it will throw error codes and probably (will) go into limp mode

Probably not the sort of job to undertake DIY... you will need new ogg rings and special ogg ring pliers...do it wrong youll stuff the occupancy censor.. and SRS will need to be reset

An E39 takes either a Din 65 or Din 85 Callcium Euro battery If your in Auckland I can help with a deal on a new battery with 3 year warranty

If your car is auto and it will obviously have ABS...there is far more to it and lots of $$$ ASC, ABS, DME & EGS are all interlocked on the canbus line

Saw it on TV last night...damn disgusting what that group of youths did. Police will react with zero tolerance in Christchurch and in other cities too now

If your driving a vehicle that has no WOF or rego, or driving a vehicle that is not up to WOF standard, the chances are... you will get pulled up, especially if your car is a "magnet" or your doing something stupid. Its their job, thats what they are paid to do, pull you up, ticket you and get you or your car off the road so you dont kill yourself or others. Think about it, thats what we expect them to do as tax payers The problem is, so many people these days have forgotten a few words in our english dictionary, like, Sir & Maam and the meaning of respect and self dissapline is not taught to people in schools anymore. I personally dont think the officers these days are hard enough.. they are quite restrained in comparison to other countries, even Australia. Watch Cops on TV. I have alot to do with the police around where I work and the local community. You should talk to an officer and youd be amazed at what they have to put up with and the restraints they have to work with. They do an excellent job under the circumstances and you'll find, if you show respect it will be recipricated. Get lippy, and you deserve everthing you get. Its only human nature to react negatively to someone that cant show respect towards you... I know I do... and I'm getting less tolerant to people not showing common descent manners. If you dont want a hard time from officers or others, take a few lessons on the subject and these strange words I've just mentioned. BTW I dont like bagging full stop, police officers, other members and other repairers, suppliers or institutions However, politicians are exempt.... bag away Personaly, and its only my opinion, I think these bagging threads should be removed immediately. If you want a shoulder to cry on, try your mum, GF, BF or wife, I'm sure they will give you the consulation your looking for. I really dont think you'll find it here.

The BM Workshop is another reputable business My (Glenn) workshop is Botany Motor Worx Ltd, 302 Te Irirangi Drive Botany South. Opposite Botany Junction

Well its the wrong one for your car...It is for a E39 but there are two types. I'll have to give you a credit and you'll have to get the correct one for your car. I was hoping you were going to come with the car as I told Chris to fit it for you when you came in. I can get you a new one by chassis# less 10% or you'll have to try around to get a 2nd hand one.

All the bad boys live down that way

Haha...blinded by the pepper spray no doubt

So do I...I would have said the same...I just wouldnt have posted it

Too much country living

Just mount it so its not flopping around

What you experienced with them would be upsetting... however, if you think about it....driving at night with a headlight out... you brought it on yourself.... if you know you have a problem....get a sparky to sort it out. You were driving a vehicle on the road that was not up to WOF standard.... you cant get a WOF with a headlight not working. They were justified in stopping you for that reason & they can ticket you for that...... for the rest of it.... well, we are only hearing one side of the story and you are not allowed to carry an offensive weapon in a motor vehicle. If you have a bat in your car....make sure youve also got a ball & glove.... or have it in the boot. BTW: Please refrain from using some of the language... really not appropriate for a public forum

All OEM I think Josh.. I'll try and find out.. or check next time its in and post up some pictures. I didn't have my camera here at work that day... I should keep it with me all the time

Its a pity he didnt put the supercharged version in with the 6 speed manual box....you can get these engines to really rock & roll.... heaps of info on the Aussie forums

Can give you a price this morning for the lock nut set BMW wheel studs for your car have a shaft length of 27mm Two types of locknuts available Splined type $ 55 + Gst Clover type $97.80 + Gst (stronger)

Theres a pressure switch on the receiver dryer, if the gas pressure is low due to leaks, it wont switch on as Brent said. Get it checked by an air con specialist Ollie BTW..dont by pass the pressure switch...youll end up damaging the compressor

Thats exactly what I was going to ask him (what engine) and Lance is right... Dont Drive It.... get it checked out

No 10 thermostat works on ambient air temperature. When its cold it allows hot water to flow through the throttle body to stop it icing up. Leave it there...just remount it

As Silvermace said....get it scanned first. It cant be solved in a forum....then deal with the problem... if your in Auckland I can scan it for you today or next week...just give me a call

ASAP ?? are they taking up room on your porn shelf ???

True...however... it is a little unique

I have a F/L E30 325 Auto one for sale $100
