  1. Sorry can't help and slightly unrelated, But I have e-mailed you a few times since November querying things and never got a reply - Thought you had changed e-mail or weren't around anymore. E-mail issues?

    Sorry to hear that. My email address changed a couple of years ago, but i had kept the old one active until late last year. Use euroitalian@vodafone.co.nz in future. If this is what you have been using I may have a problem. Let me know.


  2. Anyone know how to contact Oli Shepherd??? Sent him some parts in November last year but he has not paid. Tried to contact him via Bimmersport mail, email and old cell number, has replied once saying he has not received emails. Sent to his "updated" address but no payment. Any help appreciated.


  3. Rode code says "You are normally allowed to make U-turns, as long as the road is clear in both directions and it is safe to do so. Make sure you have enough room to complete the turn and don't create a hazard for oncoming vehicles." I would think in executing your U-turn you create a hazard for car B, so you may not proceed with your U-turn until it is safe to do so. I think if you had a collision you would be regarded to be more than 50% responsible...


  4. Hi there,

    Last night my e34 died when i was driving it, all the lights on the dash started to dim down and the abs light came on and things continuously dimmed and electrics started to turn off until the car shut off. We roll started it and it went for another 30secs or so before doing the same again. Then we jump started it and it lasted about 1minute before doing the same again and its now stranded in remuera haha.

    - Before this happened one of my belts had been slipping a few times a week, needing me to turn the car off and back on to stop the horrendous noise of the belt slipping.

    - The light on the battery is still green so the battery appears to be ok.

    - You can still operate the stereo, windows etc when the cars off.

    - If you turn off headlights for example the dash lights become brighter.

    - A few starts before the car finally carked it you could tell it was becoming harder to start

    My feeling is that it would be the alternator, but also wondering whether a ground issue could cause this.

    Any further advice is appreciated,

    Thanks,

    Sam

    Have you checked the 85 amp fuse? They have a habit of cracking and looking O.K. but can cause this type of problem.
