  1. Unless you have a copy of an agreement thats states the employee is responsible for specific things ie loss of income etc., then they are flying a kite. However - there may be something along the lines of "property damage" "loss of income" "theft as a servant" "random drug testing" and "wilful misconduct", all of which are normal issues toward dismal. Paying for a company loss as a servant is a bit of a joke - I am trying to image damage by an operator to a 1.75 million dollar crane, the resulting loss in income whilst parts are delivered air freight from Germay ............ really its a DoL advise issue, or does it come under Health & Safety maybe, your health and well being has been affected by their sugestive actions. Good luck, Paul

    Hey Grant, you can imagime Ray carrying out the groceries for little old ladies for 8 years, then 8 years later she gives him call to look after her car. Magical !
  3. Can the HG go on a wrong way or be the wrong one - partially covering a water way ..... Front raised, motor running, cap off, heater on, keep topping resivour, check bleeder, run till hot. Leave cap off. Turn off - check & top up resivour when cold, run motor as normal but recheck resivour only when cold.
  4. A very good reason why I would not put any of mine up on this site, an understanding of that what something is is purely reflected on what an individual is prepared to pay. An individuals opinion is just that, and usually relevant to how they value the marque or their ability to work on their own car bringing it up to the level that this one is. If its straight it will sell - it just takes a bit longer on a depressed market. Good luck !
  5. Welcome, hope you enjoy the 328 as much as I have with mine. Do a search on your model re "mods" - there is a lot of real practical info there which will save heaps on any knee jerk expenditure, pick off where you need the changes, I did 4 track days, changed something in between each, including suspansion bushes F & R. If you want a quick 328 (depending on model) seriously knocking on the tailgate of M3 time figures look at rear axle ratios, after you tie the front down. Regards Paul E36
  6. There is guy in the Fire Service in Te Awamutu who has the right gear, he did 3 vehicles for me, I no longer have his number but ask HOTWIRE (Grant) he will know who I mean Paul - E36
  7. A pathetic 22 / 26 ..... but I did know that Chrysler owned Renault & Peugot .... once !
  8. Can you be more specific - your mileage already is recoded with the last WOF Check
  9. http://www.envirotab.com/Home.htm check the site, it does work, its more than just an octane thing - used it in 4x4 diesels and 3 x BMW's and certainly got better economy over not using it. 97 octane plus a pill IS noticeable !
  10. I have an NZ new manual E36 328is M-Sport M52 engine, 195k, Mileage - 3174km - 95 octane with 1 x Envirotab Octane pill per fill km - litre l/100k 546 41.26 7.55 568 45.9 8.08 476 39.14 8.22 529 46.6 8.81 600 48.77 8.13 455 39.74 8.73 32 to 38 mpg - includes track time My 318 Compact always averaged 6.7 to 7.3 l/100km - driven hard Pays to keep an eye on the figures, Regards Paul - E36
  11. ..... should it be driven on the Range by the registered owner, that would be cool ! The old Army Zone One, Bombing Range National Park SH One, ! I felt the Police Minister looked a "d*ck-ish" posing with the car !
  12. Guys, as at 15th June 2012 - is there an an update / confirmation on Dates for this event at Taupo, if there is the need to combine with "another" group on the day - there would room. Liason with PlayDay shows increases they are faced with hence the need to obtain deposits and slightly higher numbers to meet costs. We have been discussing a combinationof groups / clubs to make up the numbers. Regards Paul - E36 328is
  13. Welcome, love to know your spec. changes & setup, check back after the weekend for some pics of our Car Club Show, cheers
  14. Had a quote early in the year for my E36 316 radiator replacement was $400, that is around the same price for most I have had done in the last 5 years (different vehicles) Paul E36
  15. Yes welcome Jack, hope we see the car soon, I am working thru a '95 E36 328is NZ new Manual which will replace the 318ti Compact which is up for sale, so its start at the front and work to the rear. Enjoy Paul - E36 328is M-Sport
  16. Nice wheels, is that Montreal Blau ?? Don't hestitate to talk to Mosen Euro Parts for bits and or other stuff like how to get it to handle on the road. I am about to put my '99 NZ new manual Compact up for sale after a big rebuild, anyway Mike & Kerry are the guys, they will not put you wrong, cheers Paul - E36 328 M-SportCoupe
  17. OOOOOO mmmmm kak ! Sympathies in great abundance x 10 - it does sound kinda big time serious, with no shortcuts to a patchup. Radiator, Head, Head Gasket, Coolant topup resiviour, hose - hoses, waterpump, tall order to guess-tew-late (word of the day) exact fix & cost. I have just picked up an earlier model so I know how I would feel it it happened ! Good luck but don't give up, Paul E36
  18. Deary me ......... shades of my own hassles 53,000k ago ! Similar prob. here with my E36 Compact, thought I did the right thing by believeing in the "shock" people, the "spring" people, and the "mechanics that know". WRONG ! ... but its sorted now because I talked to reputable BMW people (not dealers). I have the best handling, most economically running car that had parts replaced progressively until we got it to where I wanted it. Sport Bilstein front and Rear, King Spring Sport pack, Mspec sway bars, complete suspension bush change, Toyo tyres, Wheel Align as per Mspec settings. Contact me direct if you wish please, and good luck, Paul - E36 I think most would struggle to argue that the handling has been negatively affected by putting in the new springs once the rear camber issue is sorted. I guess the best way to put it, is that I wanted a nice touring ride, rather than a race-inspired rock hard ride. Enlighten me?
  19. We are counting down to Pukekohe this Sunday 8th Janyuary 2012 and there are a few cars missing. If you can help the Kids we would love to see you at Pukekohe. Please check the Link and join the BMW entrants in helping Kids In Cars Charity this Sunday, many thanks. http://www.kic.org.nz/ John Andrew Ford & Mazda Kids in Cars 2012 Sunday, January 08, 2012 8:30 AM • Pukekohe Park Raceway Paul - E36
  20. Has the car been a track car last year and this year - its looks identical model/colour to what pedalled very quickly at Taupo & Hampton. I spent a bit on my E36, only to find that the spring / strut, shock package was totally incompatable with each other. Now after monitored progressive changes it is perfect for road/track use. Looking at its limitations and what could be done all started by speaking with Mike at Mosen Euro Parts, each small change bought about a positive result. Paul - E36
