    Busted? Dosent appear to be LMVT...

    You will only place listings for items that exist and are to be sold. You will not list items that you are not legally entitled to sell or that are not in your possession. In the case of automobiles that are offshore or in transit to New Zealand you must be a registered motor vehicle trader and hold clear authority to sell such vehicles before being able to list them. You must also clearly indicate that such vehicles are offshore or in transit in the listing. Any land listed for sale must be in New Zealand.

    My E39 was leaking the the exact same spot, cover the same components/hoses as yours in oil. Was leaking from the front of the valve cover gasket, just above the vanos solenoid. Was only seeping though.

    It wont be coming up out of that aircon hose, and do not try and undo that hose (itll have pressurized refrigerant in it), itll be leaking onto that hose and pooling at the crimp.

    Hit it all with degreaser, then see where the oil is coming from.

    edit, FYI my leak was as bad as yours (maybe worse, mine would leave oil on the ground overnight) but never tripped the CEL.

    why the hell are you so desperate to have this stuff that you cannot wait two months for it to be put back into production, but instead wish to pay excessive amounts to have a jar?

    Go get a jar of jam (or the superior Vegemite) or something :rolleyes:

    I'd certainly give it a look. i'd have two cars so being a bit older isnt an issue.

    Just having a read over your project thread now. Whats the 1.6 like (serials question)? Slow? Ive driven a 318i E36 but had the M42, and didnt mind that too much.

    Bump, no one has a manual E30 or something they want to sell?

    Im open to offers of pretty much anything, turbo, V6, FWD, RWD etc, just something interesting. Still prefer manual though (so the other half can learn to drive manual)

    As per title, im after a daily car. located in wellington.

    Will not spend over 3k, prefer its a manual, but might consider auto (depending on what it is). Also prefer something thats a bit more fun to drive.

    MUST have wof and reg.

    Let me now what you have!

    Oh, and im willing to travel for a decent car, within reason (meet half way etc)

    On a kinda related topic, what's the deal with hids and headlight washers? My e39 has oem factory xenons but no washers? retrofitting the hid Hellas on e36 didn't require washers either?

    Had those Philips blue halogen bulbs in my e36 and they were worse than sh*t for output. Looked nice thought.

    I ignored the check control warnings on my old e36 too, until one day I was rolling down the motorway as it was getting dark, in rush hour traffic and found I had no brake lights at all. Sorted that out and never ignored check control since.

    If you get a lot of rear light warnings, check the boot wiring harness. If you haven't already I would bet on broken wires in there.

    Freshly rebuild Vanos (variable cam) unit (new beisan systems seals)

    Recent trans service

    Please dont be put of by the KS. It looks, drives and feels like its done less than half what it has. Engine is strong, and mint inside and out.

    Most of the KS are from long distance, hot running. Internals of engine looked great when valve cover was off, no sludge, little wear.

    All electrics work, including aircon and heater.

    Open to negotiation on price, and swaps.

    Please no time wasters, and test drive only with proof of funds.
