you must have very dry hair.
-
pure guesswork here maybe sensor for auto headlights
-
manuals are more common in the UK too though the spec on them can be pretty low.
-
are your 540's both autos darryl?
-
look at the torque figures for a 320d and even a a e39 540.320d would fill both roles imho
-
we used to call that yellow stuff cosmoline i dont know what they use now.The economy of the diesel doesnt really change much,no matter how you drive it.The only thing i found with my 120d is on really tight roads you have to change your driving style a bit in really tight corners,other wise you can go off boost,then you will find the diesel has absolutely nothing I found that in really tight stuff you had to use first(manual).
-
for the diesel be aware that road user charges are 7 c a kilometre and you pay the acc up front when you register the car.Unlike the petrol where there taxes are mostly included in the pump price so the cheaper pump price for diesel isnt as good as you think
-
it will look good,i was close to buying a e60 535d with M5 wheels i might have a pic somewhere
-
i live in welly town itself and work out the hutt,i can do it....where is he do you know? i see it Island Bay,the weekend would be better even for me but let me know his preferences
-
i will be interested to see what wheels you end up with.How is the room in an E30 for a not so flexible 190 cm er?(ie me)
-
esp when "deetz" is so much shorter than "details"
-
and thats what we were told...buying a diesel was supposed to be a good idea in the Co2 output stakes.
-
it is rarely so foggy in NZ that rear fog lights are required ,but proper front fogs do make the actual driving better
-
not sure about that in a line of traffic once on a foggy night it was nice to have the fog lights but the renault in fornt of me had painfully bright rear fog which i wished he would.could have turned off.I dont think i ever used my rear fogs
-
both of my BMW have been similar.Fog lights would not go on unless at least park lights were on.E34 cant quite recall if the rear fogs were on a seperate switch or second position on the same switch,there was a seperate "warning" light for front AND rear fogs.
-
I think there is a good reason for this.Not knowing you they dont actually know how to "open" the conversation,so they start by asking trivial questions,just like we talk to aquantances face to face re weather etc before the real conversation starts.They are sounding YOU out as much as you are trying to sound them out. a good example of this is the converation we had re your touring...the first few qyuestions i asked were stuff i already knew the answers too.....
-
its not a problem for me just has a quick look at the carjam report.I didnt notice it on the trademe ad
-
you aware this is a ukimport????
-
thats a tough call.There are some who will think any diesel sound like a bucket of bolts.I will have a quick look at it if ican find the place and its open....have to head out the Hutt later edit....i know exactly where it is and its close to the placei wanna go
-
i would think a twin turbo legacy is the last car one would recomend to these people
-
seek some advice from some place like diesel and turbo you may be able to add some additive re the diesel bug to prevent growth.Is it a conventional garage or ??? Regular running of a heat pump on "dry" or dehumidifier may be a good idea .May be worth trying to get the tyres right of the ground.As long as you can keep the car really dry and even temps i dont think starting it is worth it unless it gets a really good run.evrything(motor,brakes,gearbox and exhaust) needs to get up to temp for a good while other wise i beleive you are doing more harm than good.(my opinion pnly)
-
seems my night for posting wheel stuff bmw style 359
-
he is right tho ,it may be a really nice car but it is ugly as sin IN MY OPINION.
