yep that does it!

my sports seats in my e34(no lumbar adjustement) were the most comfortable seats i have ever had in a car ,easlily!

basket weaves are a b@#$%^D anything else is easy

is there a way to navigate to the first unread post in a thread?I cant see it for looking.I would like to add my thanks to the "admins"

i remember a mate had a 4 speed manaul column(austin a55),i think reverese was engaged by pulling the end of the shift lever out and away from, you and down. The first time i drove a e34 535 i had a few attempts at engaging reverse.The hold out spring was a strong spring.Now that was a car that was literally a pain in trafiic, stiff clutch and a first gear that was ridiculously low in most circumstances ,but slightly too high in stop start traffic.In a bad traffic jam once after about 20 minutes of pushing the clutch in and out i had a seriously sore left leg.. If i have a choice i would get a manual every time.In my experience a manual will get better fuel economy than a auto.A lab result is one thing real life is another.I cant comment on the very latest autos,but i think i would prefer a smg/dct than a torque converter.I do not drive in stop start traffic every day though

A "remote" effect would have me beaten i think .Well done.Perhaps a test somehow waterproofing the relays to see if it will run for a longer time?

Dont really know how to answer that!.I spose thats still better than a new pump!Sincerely hope that is the issue.!

i havent seen or noticed any updates?????

Do not buy a modern diesel if you only drive 10000 k a year in short trips

he has already spent the money,someonle else has lready commented on the delaer pricing thing ,your post didnt say to ask for a price or even ask the OP to query the price with JC just a pointless post to make him feel even better about the experience and in a not so sublte way say .wow i wouldnt pay that.

the dealer bashing is pointless.They have huge overheads to cover,We know they charge a lot .The constant whining about it gets old

so constructive

clay bar is just another polish/cleaner.It just as good(or bad) as any other polish/cuttimg attempt isnt it?

Hmm i have some handprints on the Pajero too i woonder if it is sunscreen.?

you are supposed to be there an hour before.I wouldnt be later than 45 minutes before.Auckland welly no big deal.The middle part of the south island i s the "longest bit". I enjoy the ferry trip,a lot of people seem to regard it as lost time,but its a nice trip in the day time.Its a break from the car and you can have a meal and a nap if the trip itself isnt interesting enough.If you have passengers i think its easier.If you are by yourself i think you have to force your self to stop. Its 759 km picton to wanaka via the east coast ,and 807 via the west coast.

gadget heavty bmws need the full battery capacity,esp in winter when you will have the lights, demisters, fan ,wipers and probably the brake lights and indicators all going at once.

s62 arent unreliable!

well done,i hope it has gone to a good home

the boss must wince when he walks past your car!

dealer or private sale?

but the red onewill have motorsprt suspension with uprated sways over std,and it already has a lsd,modding already done.

a factory 540 six speed will have all that std

not much choice now,very few passing lanes,and more traffic than ever ,double yellow lines over the whole hill

and many companies will go the same way as more and more people can no longer participate in the "normal" economy because they have been "replaced".the sh*t will hit the fan soon as inequality grows

4 x17 in wheels and tyres take up a lot of room.In the e34 i had to have two in the boot and two on the back seat.The two in the back seat would be deadly if you had an incident.So think about some way of restraining them.Actually i am not sure i could even fit two in the boot?
