On topic: Would the people on here that are involved with health care know approximately when the level of health care started to deminish?? Just curious thats all In my previous post I mentioned an experience I have had which was in 1985. I've been in hospital twice. In 1969 I was involved in a car accident and ended up in Middlemore with facial injuries. Damage to my skull, the side of my face and ear torn back, eyebrow found on the road by the ambulance driver...ended up with repairs by the panel beater ( plastic surgeon ) and 182 stitches in my face. The level of care given was great...excellent even The 1985 experience was terrible (16 yr period). A botched up lumbar puncture and a leg put in a cast without being repaired. The level of care......absolutely terrible So I would have to guage from my experiences, that this has been teteriorating for a long period of time. On the other hand ....just bad luck maybe. So, from 1969 till the present we have had different Governments. Are they to blame, or the Health Administrators running the health system ??. Or maybe its all of us, for putting up with the crap they are dishing out to us.

Tried the "new" glasses too.... nup....still wont work...you cant fix it by swapping anything from side to side. Wunder if I should try my shades on ???

Check the switches in the "A" pillar. The terminal on the back might be touching or the switch might be loose

You'll have to swap diffs too... How much for the 3.46 LSD ??

As Will said...you can modify them so you can see out of them, but you cant swap them side to side. Try swapping them Yuen. The mirrors & components are all handed.

Each to there own. But tell me... if you had an accident and the passengers airbag & pre-tensioner didn't activate and your G/F or wife got seriously injured due to the fact of this....who would you hold responsible ??? Personaly and from a business liability possition... I would never do such a thing. Something to think about ???

Yes I mentioned that before. 4 bolt is small case. But you will also need to upgrade the axles too. They are different.

On Topic : I fully support the medical profession taking action to get wage increases to retain staff in NZ. When this Govt. wastes money in other areas and our medical resourses are stretched to stupid levels, the system will break down and the level of care will deminish. Not something I like to see happening. Years ago I had a skiing accident and was nearly dissabled by A&E medical staff at Middlemore. By taking my own action because I knew something was wrong, I went private, things got sorted and I went legal, I received a (medical missadventure ??) lump sum ACC pay out. I dont think you get these nowadays. I'm not bitter about my experience, I'm just one of many that have had similar things happen, the doctor probably was one who had done a 12hr shift under stress and made a mistake. I make mistakes in my proffession too. We are only human and cant possibly get it right 100% of the time. Off Topic: I'm glad my youngest daughter is an accountant ( I'm very proud of that ) She enjoys her profession, shes happy and she gets well paid for what she does.... and it will get better for her as time goes on. Her job can be stressful meeting deadlines, but she is not constantly under stress. Ask doctors if that sounds like the work environment that they work in. I dont think so. How many companies and small businesses run efficiently without one of these proffessionals ?? My wife is also one of these proffessionals. She is the Financial Controller for the Privacy Commissioners Office and she loves her job too. I'm not here to criticise anyones proffession or career path (unless its criminal) each to there own, I just hope they enjoy it, like I enjoy mine. I have really no education, 3 years high school, failed school cert and left high school with a shitty leaving certificate. I'm quite proud of what I have achieved through the years. Most of all I'm proud of my two daughters. Both have BA's, my eldest is a clothing designer in London.. And they are both happy. All of our career paths are important in the structure of the society we live in. The most important thing for me, is to be happy and have happy people around me. So, I'm uneducated as society would put it, or thats how my school principal would see it. Yet doctors, lawyers, judges, politicians, electrical engineers, accountants etc etc all come to me to seek my help. Any way....I'm happy My achievements without an education: A happy wife (34yrs together) Two happy daughters (achievers) My own business (successful) I've been self employed since 1983 I own and live on a lifestyle block in Hunua, I own the business and the business property and have property in Australia. I travel overseas, do what ever I want whenever I want and I'm enjoying life. End of rant....hell!!! I'm spilling my guts out here BTW: I'm not offended by Cains comments about my daughter. Everyone has an opinion of how they see things Cheers Glenn

Thats why I became an Automotive Technician.... and not a Doctor

Very well put... pity something like this doesnt get into the papers. So we can truley understand what the hell is going on. It may only be one side of the story, but the NZ press often is biased with what they want us to know, instead of all the facts.

Take a real good look at them..a real good look I think you'll follow my drift , they are handed and cant be swapped

Thanks Yuen...her final exams this year then she's "chartered"

+1 You cant swap the bases though Yuen

Yeah ....right I'm not so sure her partner would agree to that though. And your son would need very deep pockets.....VERY DEEP Her aspirations are very, VERY high

Sorry...but it looks like $100 learning curve. Take note: Check out before you buy and make sure you are getting exactly what you want or need...especially on the internet BTW Genuine mirror is $423 ea + GST and the mirror glass is seperate another $187 ea + GST

Thanks Gus BTW it looks like the strikes on Wednesday (news) You have my full support Hope Helen has a hernia on wednesday

Talk to Ollie

If those salary packages are correct... I would have to agree for pay rises for all medical staff NZ wide. Bloody hell......it is OUR health system. Reduce the dole packages and increase our health salary packages My daughters first year as an Accountant with KPMG $50,000, 2nd year $70,000 and shes only 25, no student loan and not quite fully qualified....yes she got a $20,000 pay rise yesterday ( makes a Dad proud ) She fixes her mistakes on Monday mornings Doctors bury theirs Makes sence, that we need well trained,happy and well paid doctors in our health system This Government really has rocks in their heads and fingers up each others arses (time for a change) Just my rant & rave Glenn

And Hillman Hunters with Peugeot diesels in them

Nice The only thing I would suggest would be to build a cold air box (Ollie's design is a good one). That pods going to be sucking alot of hot air. You will get gains by doing that. Cheers Glenn

That is possible and it could also be a larger piece of metal in the metalic pad material causing the noise. I have seen this with some of the cheaper brands of disc pads. And BMW's dont have disc pad backing shims

BMW's don't have metal wear indicators (squeal shims) like the Jap cars have, and yes you can machine rotors wrong or badly if you dont do it properly or use the right tool tips in the disc lathe.

If you abuse anything ....IT WILL BREAK Anyway.... you may have other problems. If the car is very low the axle angle will put more load on the diff. Another thing that people forget to check is the driveshaft. If the universals are worn, seized or the driveshaft is badly out of balance it will load up the pinion bearings and in the past two years I've had 1 E36, 1 E30 and 1 E39 break pinion shafts because of the driveshaft. Oil is important too 75w90 full synthetic must be used. This may help you...maybe not It may be right to say... change your driving style and treat the car with a bit more respect. I'm no nana driver, and theres alot of others on here that like to give their cars the occassional "fang" and we arent breaking things. I could understand it if you had 250+ RWHP. But not a stock 320. There might just be something else other than the actual diff, or youve just bought a couple of 2nd hand worn ones. Did you take the back plate of and have a look inside before you fitted them ?? and did you use the right oil ??

On a forum

The airbags will react before the battery gets destroyed. The body senses the impack as the impack occurs. Thats why the bodies of BMW's have so much technoligy & design work put into them.
