No...there might be another meaning to describe you... and... no... I'm not trying to be a smart arse

And your meaning would be ??

It would cover failure of electrical items listed in the warranty policy. I can send you a proposal. You must abide by the schedule that the warranty company sets out. Normaly 10,000 km servicing schedules dependant on policy and vehicle. If you own a BMW, its best that you also adhere to the BMW service recommendations as well. Cheers Glenn

Thanx Guys Really appreciate your nice comments Cheers Glenn

Its probably been mentioned before..... but never cut the rear parcel shelf on any BMW. The steel rear panel is a structural part of the body shell. Supporting either suspension or seat belt anchor points. You will not get a WOF if this area is cut or modified. And it's very, very expensive to get repaired. Uneconomic to repair on an E30. Recently I have had to give advise to people on this subject because their cars failed WOF's for this reason. Cheers Glenn

Hell no....I'm straight as

Hell no.. far from it My 318TI is only 75mm off the deck, running negative front and rear, but done properly with a "cert" Bistiens shocks all round, Bilstein front springs and H&R rears.On Schnitzer III 8.5" mags, running 225/45/17 Direzza's No "bounce" and no guard or wheel arch rubbing But I wouldnt call myself a "Slab" or "Gangsta"......but I could be called "rare" or "old balls" But Glenn will do

Seriously!? Reading that I fully thought you were kidding Glenn, it started to sound like a rhyme. We need pics of said Camber! Took me ages to find Camber.... special, just for you Yuen. I think shes back in Aus now

I might just add.. that although its good fun stirring I actually do care about you guys and would hate to see you get hurt because you might do stupid things. Thats why I'm actually on here...and maybe I might help someone.. or help them with their BMW my 2 cents Glenn

Glenn <<<<<<<< Neva gets stired bro...can take all the shizzle...but I do prefer to talk "Ingish" and go with the flow. All in good fun Shyte 1/4 of a mile??? my driveways 4 X that long

Think about it ......will you ever have old balls ???

For gods sake lighten up cuzzie...its the mick talkin...beats talkin sh*t like slabin. Give & take and have a giggle...all in fun and its not personal...specially from me

What do you do Jacko ??? Airframes or engineering ??

Thats quite true, but you guys are like doctors, our mistakes end up on the doorstep on Monday morning Yours end up at the morgue

+1...absolutely on the nail

The hourly rate covers all the white shirts and contributes to warranty repairs that BMW AG do not cover in full

You normally start an apprentice on minimum wage for the 3 month trial period to guage his abilities and education standard, then you either let him go or get on with it. I always pay more than I should. Alot goes into training a person, and if he's comitted, he gains too and so does the NZ Motor Industry I have 40 yrs experience in the industry and where does that go when I'm gone ??? I have experience with aircraft, military vehicles, helicopters, marine (petrol & diesel) and 30 yrs BMW Hopefully I'm helping someone, myself and the Industry at large. Just my 2 cents worth Just wish Alex some luck with his quest

If the rear muffler is a real cheapy and made of thin wall material, its never goin to work. The muffler wall flexes with exhaust gas pulse and causes the noise

Less than $30

Very hard to get Alex, I've been trying for 2yrs and gave up. Was willing to pay $30 an hour as well. All I got was people, who couldnt communicate, didn't have tools, no residency and have never worked in the same environment as we do, but they still wanted top dollars. I ended up taking on another apprentice who I'll train "my way" Best of luck with your adds, but you'll probably just enrichen your advertisers Cheers Glenn PS: "poaching" or "headhunting" seems the way the dealers go up here. Not something I would do though. Had it done to me several times....good people that I had spent time on training.

Bit off topic ..... but what the hell We had a very attractive pit crew girl working for us years ago, her name was Amber. One of her legs was an 1" shorter than the other and she had a little bit of a lean to one side standing straight. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Her nic was "Camber"

Another set ???? I've already sold you one set

What brand & type are your rare wheels ?? Just curious Glenn

(1) Fuse,Relay or switch faulty (2) Should just be a bulb (3) I'm pretty sure the answer is no or mines knackered too ....Will will know he has more E30 experience I can recommend Blair Woodhead (Woodhead Electrical) in Panmure Ph. 5704540 Cheers Glenn

From a repairers point of view, I find Lumley, Motorplus and Autosure (Vero) the easiest to deal with. Always buy the dearest policy you can afford, because they have repair limits and different excesses. Your policy does not include service items, general maintainence, wear & tear or expendibles. The policies are only for the mechanical failure of a part and they will not cover pre-existing faults with the vehicle at the point of sale. Failure to service at correct intervals will invalidate your warranty and you would have to apply in writing to get it reinstigated. On a public forum, I would not state which Companies to stay away from.... sorry....it's not the done thing. And I would suggest that others don't. Any information I am quite happy to give you over the phone.....just ring me If you are in Auckland, I can sell you a Motorplus warranty after an inspection A 3 year warranty with $150 excess costs $1050.oo over 2000cc A 3 year warranty with $250 excess costs $1000.oo over 2000cc Its $200 cheaper if the car is under 2000cc These prices are for Euro Exotic motor vehicles So long as the car has not covered more than 175,000 km and is not over 12 years old I cannot give a Forum discount on these policies. However I can do the inspection for $100 the same cost as a pre-purchase inspection for forum members. Cheers Glenn
