Shakespeare Rd Milford? Do you live in auck/ on the shore?

convertible with black rims?

cool as! apparently they drive seriously well

Sorry I didnt read OP properly- YEs he can take that car back. However depending on the value of car, the law does make a few allowances. But the allowances are more trouble than just asking parents etc for the rest, or saving yourself the hassle and just having your money refunded

lappy wont let me edit post to fix spelling etc- and also while payment is the vital 'consideration' component in a contract, the sale is sealed once the agreement has been made. Wether you have the right to physically take the car yet or not i am unsure about.

Unlike real property, a car has changed hands once the agreememnt has been made, verbal or otherwise. No money need change hands- in fact the buyer needent even be in possesion yet. the car is the new owner's and the seller must make arrangements to get his money

Thats aweome! im not sure what a 250f looks like, edit: this is his- but dads mate has fangio's 250f so could be that one? id kiiiill for a drive, he pretty much owns a who's who of classic and vintage italian racers from the 20's up to f40 and scuderia series cars

Someone can have mine for that with way cooler spec and less sthan half the kms!

about 5 minutes to 6, i had a date to pickup at 6 in pons! hahAlso saw a sweeet m325i with (if i remember correctly) gold bbs rs's and a plate something like 1 OWNR

spotted what must be rays old e36 red m3 on queen street today..... also in herne bay yesterday (i think?) what looked like nicks greyish blue 323i e36... no roofracks though?

haha indeed! thats a hot looking car bruv.

Cheers guys, I have had a look at trademe to no avail- may as well go get/order a new one from bmw. I usually do just fork out when needed, but figured i'm not looking for 'last 20 years' quality in reality

Yo, am after a rear bmw badge for my e30, does anyone but the dealer do these? It's been so long since i purchased one..... spose i could just walk the 50m along the road to Jerry Clayton haha Cheers!

the 120i still has a leak SOMEWHERE that every now and then drips onto manifold and stinks out the car.... BMW couldnt find it yet still reamed 500 bucks out of mum... good luck!

For energy I drink a LOT of water.... and i run every day and sleep properly. I'm pretty much freaked of the amount of sugar and other bad crap in energy drinks and the like, similar story with coke....

Righto so grabbed a working sensor off Brent today, and in the absence of a good AFM, I adjusted my own one until she ran sweet in the different situations that she used to be a bit rough. The starting problem is definitely related to cold start valve..... Generally she starts fine when properly warm, but leave her for long enough or until cold and instead of starting; she will fire and then die immediately. Disconnecting either the cold start injector's plug, or the thermo time sensor's plug fixes this problem. As brent suggested today, could it be flooding at startup? A point to note is that when the old dead thermo- time sensor was still in, she did NOT start very easily at ALL when fully cold at 7am etc

Nice! i didnt see this when i was there? Although I am pretty blind at the best of times. Cheers for your time today Brent!

i'm after one of these: realoem number 4- temp-time sensor for my M10... it is VDO 1274 625.3 also has 35 degrees 12 sec stamped on it...... also after a 1985 318i airflow meter, last 3 numbers 050. I have an odd starting problem where she starts and then immediately stalls (when cold) so am finding problem by deduction! She starts fine with a bit of gas for a few seconds....

I feel for you... a while ago i had rust holes both above and below the steering column repaired, and also a re- rusted badly patched battery tray area completely removed and replaced!

I'll have to think of what i need from up the road first..... mmm!

I have inherited a late model Business RDS from e36, has no loom but does go

Hah same here! they are perfect on my E30.....

my urS4 had 50c parking tickets and the like stuck down the dash.... pretty much forgot about them....

oil changed and so far so good! noise has gone, havent driven on the motorway etc yet though so I will wait and see......

I have a 1985 318i M10 with 120,000 genuine km. Sometimes there is a god awful clatter from the timing chain, generally once it gets warmer as opposed to cold. The tensioner is pressing against the chain fine, and the spring is intact. The tensioner is oil/spring type. I have replaced a chain on my 230e before which was stretched at 200,000km but had an audible grinding noise as the stretched chain links located on the original- spacing cogs. The 318i does not make this noise. When not rattling, the engine is silky smooth which is apparenty rare for an M10! soooOOOO my question is: Is the problem soley viscosity- related and should I first change the oil with the recommended, or after 25 years regardless of kM, has the tensioner spring lost some of its guts and might it need replacing? This seems less likely, as sometimes the engine does not rattle at all. I'm nor really sure of labour split between oil pressure/ spring pressure. cheers!
