Idiot things previous owners have done to your car.

Same, almost exlusively 1 or 2 owner NZ new bmw, audi or mercedes cars... My last car was a 1 owner Audi S6- pulled the standard stereo out and the wiring behind it was such a botch up amatuer job, as was the alarm install behind a kick- panel (car had factory alarm stickers on windows). Strange and semi- redundant trailer wiring leading to the factory audi towbar was another wee gem i discovered. Current 2 owner E30 with 120km's when i got it had wee surface rust spots all under the boot carpet due to a leak from badly re-installed tail ligt seals, completely rusted re-weld of the battery tray which i had fully remade, botched up stereo wiring and seriously butchered airflow meter. Why god why! -

I'm going to get the fuel pressure regulator tested some time when I get around to it.... Have been thinking that te pressure may be dropping too far down at rest

I remember driving an identical car to the airport when i was at JCbmw... Couldnt use the SMG to save myself, it was clunky as hell so i just stood on it

If you are spending that sort of money they will give you one of each to try for a couple of days- so do that.

Pretty obvious it's not an Mtech kit, dont think it's BBS... alpina didnt have side kit for e28 i dont 'think'... im not so familiar with the rest eg. Reiger- were they even around then?
-
It easily is- parking my e30 beside mums 1, the 1 has a way longer wheelbase, so its not like it is really much of an emasculating micro- car

'Prince of Wales check'

about 50 people do the paper? maybe a few more....
-
Just found out that of the whole paper, 6 people passed. I know of 2 C's and 2 B's so far
-
Yeah i thimk what Simon says is good advice- in fact this thread has actually helped me think a lot more clearly! Problem with 'class action' is that this paper has some serious drop- kicks, with intellect and ability that reminds me of what i see on here sometimes . Hence it would be difficult to get guys with a backbone to stand behind the sinature they put on paper just because everyone is, and because "oh yeah, he's a dickhead lets get him fiiiired"
-
Oh man that sounds like a tough year! Yeah I am at AUT..Unfortunately my bad mark for the paper is MOSTLY attained, my issue being the method/ quality of teaching. A few marks are questionable though. At Otago I had a creep old man lecturer for comlaw, he actually invited me back to his house twice- i complained and he didnt love me so much after that... I still got a good mark though because he had the hots for my mate too and it couldnt be seen that he was being preferential when my mate and I essentially had the same work!
-
mm good call Shelley- you are right, and I am reminded that he isnt the police and that I really can ask as much as I like. The barrier is that he really is a bona- fide c*nt and it is quite difficult standing up to him, when you are not looking for a fight, but looking for answers. He is possibly the most gratingly negative person that I have ever been forced to deal with

So I just got my last semester's marks back for mechanical engineering. All semester I had trouble with ONE lecturer, he is rude, a smart ass, talks back, offers no help, never repeats what he says etc. A real piece of work. Each person in his classes thinks this and several complaints are made, including mine. But nothing seemed to change.. The HOD said there are 'circumstances beyond our control'. What does this mean?! He has lectured since the 70's, and had retired but has been pulled back into service due to lack of staff. My marks for the semester for my 4 papers are A, A+ A-, and from him a D for mechanics.. What the heck can I do, I quite seriously am not comfortable diving head first into his paper again, a paper which needs to be taught, not so much read from a book.
