  1. Been trying to find a reliable indy down here for a while. Very different scene in Wellington. Is the same for Mercedes and wheel alignments past tyre shop absolute basics. They all want you to drop your car off. Not say a word. Pick up and Pay. Anything out of the norm gets ignored. If your car is old they treat it like sh*t and just don't care. Gazley promised a full Merc spec alignment. I assumed they had their own machine. Nope. Just were going to get one of the kids to take it down the road to the closest tyre shop.
  2. There was a manual for $12K the other day.
  3. You can replace the PCV on its own. A few guides online. You can buy the replacement PCV separately. Pretty easy job.
  4. I think Star Citizen is as close to that dream as we will get. It does have a BMW. The 300i. It doesn't have an N52.
  5. Mechanic shops in 20 years are going to be very strange places. Look forward to any work needing an electric engineers cert.
  6. The auto box is good for an auto. It is quite fast. They all come with paddles. There are a few mods for them too. I can't be assed with a manual for a commuter. Especially as they are so much more expensive. On another note. I think I stuffed up the auto wipers on my car. I hit the auto button and when they sense rain they just run the same intermittent timer. They don't change with rain intensity. Has anyone stuffed this up before and fixed it? I was mucking around with the features turning them off and on. It is possible it started doing this when I installed cruise control. I used the wiper stalk that came with it and it doesn't have a rear wiper ability.
  7. Just to be the total opposite. I have Laufenn LK03's aka S Fit on my 130i. Zero issues. Zero understeer. Hammer on them over the hill at least once a week. They are coming to the end of their life at around 30K and I am pretty hard on them. I would say some of your issue is down to the VAG vehicle they are attached to. The tyres are not the best but I have never experienced what you are.
  8. please can you txt me your contact details re my old girl rattling exhaust. thanks murray 021709793

  9. It will be one of the centre heat shields. Mine does it on occasion. I just give it a little bend until it stops. Right dead centre of the car though. Any exhaust shop or mechanic should be able to give it a tweak for you. Otherwise I could help sometime after work next week. I have a hoist and am in Featherston just over the hill.
  10. Older video I somehow missed.
  11. Was quite good. Wish they had focussed on the car more though.

    Don't forget that compulsory $500 EQC levy that was slapped onto all House insurance. I was stoked to find out about that one. That and my $4000 rates where I receive so much f**k all it's not funny. Classic Cover has been great for me for 3 cars and 2 bikes. However I am stuck with AA for the other 3 cars. Classic cover is worth a try if you have something a little more rare or special. They even do lay up and transport insurance for my racecar and it's only about $240 per year.
  14. What's the NZ retail on that Jon
  15. I would say the Cyber Truck is exactly the same thing with a kids drawing body slapped on top. Crammed full of gimmicks. You're not going to get driving enjoyment from one. But its perfect for the attention seeker.
