    Picked this pile of turds up for next to nothing, NZ New Facelift so has the angel eye headlamps. I wanted the CD changer out of it, so it came with a free car virtually..

    Known faults:

    1. Gearbox won't select reverse and appears to be in limp mode - i.e won't change gears
    2. Running on 5 cylinders - possible coil
    3. Dash has several lights showing
    4. Requires crank angle sensor also
    5. Speedo doesn't work

    Is this car worth saving or is it off to scrap? Battery has been replaced and apparently some of these faults arose afterwards..

    But really, what is the point in increasing the limit a measely 10kmh for a distance of less than 100km.

    I'm for it. Anyone that's driven from Dunedin to Christchurch of some of the central South Island roads would have to agree.

    Another equally annoying problem on our roads is for light trailers limited to 90kph. Personally I think it's more dangerous than operating at 100kph with a trailer.

    The south america special was awesome.

    As for where/when: link

    Looking forward to the rest of the season.

    Yup, all that carry on with the animosity was very accurate. They left a lot of gear behind. That Lotus in that condition would be big bucks here, it was ruined.

    Just move to the South Island. Car theft still exists by don't think car jackings do. And no one is interested in bmws here. All about RfknB's!

    Hmm, I'm not sure any of my cars have door locks or not. Must try them sometime. Nothing happens here, last event front page news was someone's letterbox got bowled over, mystery unsolved. Turned out to be a hoax.

    Howdy all. Anyone know of an E53 out there being wrecked? I'm after a gearbox for WBAFB32020LN86392 - if anyone could help drop me a PM or post here :)

    Already have our Brent looking for one but thought I'd get extra attention by posting here.

    Cheers.

    Quick search CFC 363

    First Rego in NZ 02 Sept 2004

    NA15300

    Assembled May 2004

    M57N 2933cc

    six speed manual

    Production Code EJ92

    No doubt one could obtain a build sheet for more info also was this the engine type that had swirl valve problems?

    Personally the colour, wheels, trim, 11yr old put me off and the asking price but it is through a dealer.

    I wouldn't get too carried away with the specs on CarJam. Half the time they're incorrect, this one for example the cc rating is wrong and it's not 4WD.

    One of the better things about this car is that it has the proper 3 litre engine and not the older 2.9

    Remapped gently would see around 200kw and 500nm plus.

    Time to upgrade the 320d is it?

    I'd love it, but just becoming too impractical now for us. I want that 4.6is but he's just not getting back to me. I'd say there's more too that engine knocking than it would appear.

    Yep, M3 would struggle on the Rainbow road and other places.

    X5 makes sense for a family of 5 travelling and getting into the back country if that's your definition of a weekend toy. That's what we use ours for as well.

    plus school bus and family car.

    19's with HP road tyres were at times interesting on the rainbow road

    20's on the 4.6is with flintstones tyres on the back. Good gravel road but an M3 would just get nailed. Also need the space of a big boot the X5 offers.
