We may not....but there will be those out there that will try

I'd be a bit carefull. The police will probably be monitoring the site with patrol cars to catch those hiding or interferring with their plates to avoid the toll

Were also doing front brakes on a AMG S55 this morning Front disc pad set $691.55 + Gst (8 pot callipers) Disc rotors $808.31 ea + Gst (360mm) Mini wheels Wiper blade refills $99.92 + ea Makes you want to own a BMW doesnt it ??

Yes the front has to come off on the V6 & V8's It looks hard but its not...this job is more complicated than normal because were doing all the corroded water pipes under the plenum chamber as well, one goes under the cambelt. The whole job about $4,000. Normal cambelt job done properly is about $1,500 on a V6 and about $3,000 on a V8

Fair enough...that wasnt my intention ....the warning was sent to me this morning and I thought it was legit

Dealer only I'm afraid...want me to price them for you ?? $22 each plus GST

Thats amazing.....thanks for sharing

Dont think the one we had here yesterday is for sale...privately owned. Theres no pictures on that Auction

Haha...you beat me to it. I hope they get pictures

I totaly agree with you there Ollie... pearl white with good wheels to set it off

From the sounds of it...your auto has had it's days....looks like a manual conversion coming up next

Some of you cringe at the expense of owning a BMW. Have a look at what Audi & VW owners have to contend with every 5 years or 120,000km We are doing cambelt, water pump, thermostat housing, thermostat and cooling pipe replacement on a 2000 VW Passat 2.6 V6

Had this car in yesterday....318 CIA M An E46 318 Cabriolet with an M3 body. 4 exhaust pipes as well, with valvetronic engine & Auto Chassis # EM27061... for the searchers

I've only flicked through this quickly and I might have missed alot. I looked at the pictures and the odometer "O" is out of alignment... I would assume tampering at some stage... go on...flame me

Either dealer or an Auto Electrician with a brain Sounds like water in the DME

It might just need new batteries

BTW Nick your R/H low beam headlights not working

All sorted....thanks Dave (Silverfox)

Compressing is a NO No You need proper springs but Keith @ H&R is out of them. His number is 021378902 if you want to talk to him and get the right advice. He might have springs coming If you do a minimal drop you wont have to shorten shocks For a really good ride...Buy a set of Bilsteins of Ebay and do a 30mm in the front & 50mm in the rear drop to level the car up, as the E39's tend to be a bit arse high. Better wheels would also set it off

Just give me a call

Can anyonyone help Shelley out with a good, complete handbrake lever for her E30 ??. Some idiot broke hers .

???? I could recommend a good mouth wash

As I said ^^^^ scan it first to make sure there are no issues before you do anything. It may have a camshaft position sensor fault or air mass sensor problem. Sometimes the air mass sensor wont throw a fault code. You need to drive it with the scanner hooked up and check live data for Kg air flow

Jeebus, I should read these threads more thoroughly.. than just flicking over them. If you are getting the noise it would probably be the solenoid (actuator) I have a good second hand one here. $75 if you want it. New ones have gone up in price now because the latch and actuator come as one now, not seperate.. The grommet I was talking about is one of the most common problem because people tend to lift the boot with there fingers and push the grommet out of alignment which jams the micro switch.
