    This is why!

    I'm with bellicose. Seen too many mangled bodies to care about what these shits say once caught. Throw the book at him, crush the car and send the key to the bottom of the Pacific.

    You cannot just change the bulb. The entire housing needs to be changed and its very expensive. The cheapest and correct method is to check your actual compliancing report. If it was complied with the lights, the local VTNZ should not fail you for the lights and you should have no further problems from any other WOF inspection. If it failed the compliancing but was sold to you, the dealer is at fault for selling a non-compliant vehicle to you. (This I doubt). Hence, give your dealer a call, telling them you've failed a WOF because of the headlights, ask them where the vehicle was complied OR call the LTSA with your VIN and get them to tell you where it was done. Call the compliancing station and get the report. I'm pretty sure it passed compliancing. Armed with that piece of information, go to your WOF station, they should pass it. Cheers.

    If you bought the car from a dealer, find out where the car was complied and who did the compliancing. Call the compliancing centre and get them to fax the compliancing report to you. If it passed compliancing, show vtnz. If it didn't and was sold to you, get dealer to fix lights. Good luck.

  5. The following are all replies that Detroit women have written on Child Support Agency Forms in the section for listing 'Father's Details,' or putting it another way... Who's your baby’s Daddy? These are genuine excerpts from the forms. 1. Regarding the identity of the father of my twins, Makeeshia was fathered by Maclearndon McKinley I am unsure as to the identity of the father of Marlinda, but I believe that she was conceived on the same night. 2... I am unsure, as to the identity of the father of my child as I was being sick out of a window when taken unexpectedly from behind. I can provide you with a list of names of men that I think were at the party if this helps. 3. I do not know the name of the father of my little girl. She was conceived at a party at 3600 East Grand Boulevard where I had sex with a man I met that night. I do remember that the sex was so good that I fainted. If you do manage to track down the father, can you please send me his phone number? Thanks... 4. I don't know the identity of the father of my daughter. He drives a BMW that now has a hole made by my stiletto in one of the door panels. Perhaps you can contact BMW service stations in this area and see if he's had it replaced. 5. I have never had sex with a man. I am still a Virginian. I am awaiting a letter from the Pope confirming that my son's conception was ejaculate and that he is the Saver risen again. 6. I cannot tell you the name of Alleshia's dad as he informs me that to do so would blow his cover and that would have cataclysmic implications for the economy I am torn between doing right by you and right by the country.. Please advise. 7. I do not know who the father of my child was as they all look the same to me. 8. Tyrone Hairston is the father of child A. If you do catch up with him, can you axe him what he did with my AC/DC CDs? Child B who was also borned at the same time..... well, I don't have clue.. 9. From the dates it seems that my daughter was conceived at Disney World. Maybe it really is the Magic Kingdom. 10. So much about that night is a blur. The only thing that I remember for sure is Delia Smith did a program about eggs earlier in the evening. If I had stayed in and watched more TV rather than going to the party at 8956 Miller Ave , mine might have remained unfertilized. 11. I am unsure as to the identity of the father of my baby, after all, like when you eat a can of beans you can't be sure which one made you fart. :D

  7. Having driven both, the 530i is plenty for NZ roads. You will hardly ever need the extra torque of the 4.4L V8. Probably only if you are towing. The M54B30 is grunty with max torque at 3500rpm. The V8 is great but not a lot of extra horses. Steering feel....TBH, minimal. Both felt good. V8 sounded much better tho. Good luck.
  8. Good car to get Prices coming down all the time so negotiate hard. Oh.. get a touring

    I think the M6 wheels really bring it out. Great stance .....but would probably get destroyed on NZ roads
  10. I trouble-shoot people. Sometimes I feeling like actually pulling the trigger!
  11. That looks fantastic. But that is gonna different for those with Navigation. I wonder if jochen could chime in.
  12. Poor maintenance will do that to any gearbox. The Jatco box on my 328i was smoooth as a baby's backside. Pick one with the options you want and in good mechanical condition with a FSH. Get it professionally checked by Glenn. Flush gearbox with new fluids, service car and enjoy it.
  13. Steering wheel controls works. I'm having problems with text display capability but I think the problem is with the operator (ie; ME). You need to have playlists so the Grom unit can identify the songs. Playlist 1 is in simple mode (no text display) and as I only have all my songs on 1 playlist = no text. The install was incredibly easy. Even an idiot like myself could do it. Just get the correct cables. My CD changer was in the boot (Nav stereo) and the cables fit perfectly. What I suggest doing is going on TM and picking up a cheap Ipod (not touch/iphone) and leaving it in the back. It will charge the Ipod and as its out of sight, no one will know it was even there. The Ipod version cost me NZ$178 incl freight. I think the USB version is slightly more. TBH, pick either. Both are great value. If you want Iphone integration tho, I reckon there are better units out there with BT. Cheers.
  14. Sorry. Yes I did buy one and it works fine. I haven't fiddled around with the playlists so I can't get it to display the names. I'm using an Ipod touch and it has playlists on the go so when I hit CD2, it defaults to this playlists. No names come up. I think its fixable but I haven't had time to fiddle with it yet Cheers.
  15. Nope, my 328i got up to 190km/h on Taupo's back straight.
  16. Most warranties EXCLUDE M3/M5/M6 for BMW and AMG engines from Mercedes, RS/S cars from Audi.

    Home audio

    http://www.audioenz.co.nz/forums/ 2nd hand forum too. For $1500, spend the money on proper headphones and a headphone amp. Would kill any speaker/amp combo at that price range. Like these Grado RS-1 http://www.audioenz.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=10166 And something like this :http://www.trademe.co.nz/Electronics-photography/Home-audio/Amplifiers-tuners/auction-287725194.htm Good luck. Its very fun and gets more expensive than cars quickly.
  18. My CD changer has gone Kaput. Decided to buy the Grom I2 Ipod link. Will see how it goes
