Automatic Transmission Warning Light e36 328i
_ethrty-Andy_ replied to Trigga's topic in Performance
while yes there are some variation in quality of tool/software, the biggest variable is the brain on the operator. -
Most of you have probably seen my BMBBQ. Thats not me in the pic, usually my mates that come round don't want food poisoning so leave it up to them.

Automatic Transmission Warning Light e36 328i
_ethrty-Andy_ replied to Trigga's topic in Performance
Probably the air flow meter. -
correct as far as late model stuff goes, and even then, probably little experience with the newer models ? Why are you not willing to take it to the dealer ?

Not trademe but super cool ACS touring
_ethrty-Andy_ replied to nzodea's topic in TradeMe discussions
if it was converted in the UK then yes most likely was a RHD to start with -
would have to double check my coupe, but pretty sure that has twin horns on it!

Am I mad to be considering this? 2001 E53 X5
_ethrty-Andy_ replied to Gabe79's topic in TradeMe discussions
yep the silver one is mine. But unless sold tomorrow or the next day (unlikely) it is about to be locked for the next year or two with my two E30s. -

ill never forget being in my dads mates V10 TDI toureg many moons ago when it was nearly new. had what i remember to be a 40 series Cruiser based off roader on trailer on the back. lights went green at the Haywards lights (back when there were such) and 5 up in the toureg we dragged off a 4/5/6 Evo (i remember the triangle lights) which at the time was crash hot to a young impressionable teen such as my self. so although they have the wrong badge on the front, they do alright by me.

Is the 335i the 2019 performance bargain?
_ethrty-Andy_ replied to Herbmiester's topic in General Discussion
youve seen E30 prices ha. goes the opposite the other way around too. a 2016 Ford F150 is over 100k here, in north america specifically canada is where i have been looking, you can get one for less than half that. -
put a manual in it

Yes you could turn right there, youve done most of it by that point. As for left or straight ahead at Waiouru, thats up to you. SH1 is a town every 20km and very boring, and the constant left right every km or so of SH1B to avoid Hamilton is annoying, and is the slowest route, despite being SH1 the whole way. Some people go SH1, turn right at Tirau and take SH27 on to SH2 and come out at Bombays. Both of these are uneventful routes. As you know i do this run all the time, my preferred route is Ohakune/Taumaranui/Otorohanga/Pirongia/Ngaruawahia comes out at Taupiri. This is through the King Country area and very nice, you can stop at Raurimu Spiral not that you can see much but it is a good place to stop and let your dog have a peepoo and you can read a bit about it, and the Waitomo Caves if you like. there is also one of the highest rail bridges in NZ that the train goes over you about 12m or more above the road, which itself is more than 20m above the valley floor, there is a nice rest stop there and a nice spot for pictures etc . downside to this route is there is no cellphone or radio reception between Taumaranui and Te Kuiti so load up your spotify. hope this helps
-
have done all of those roads. dont bother going around the point, its not worthwhile, just follow the river. if you are able to add another day, do the gentle annie road back to Taihape and go north from there, turn left at Waiouru, prehaps stay a night in Ohakune, and then go up thru Taumaranui, turn left again at Otorohanga and follow the road thru to Ngaruawahia and up to your home.

hey have you spun them up to see if they are straight ? pretty easy to bend them, but interested if they are proven to run true. cheers.
-
oh so thats where the one in the 330i went

-
sorry for the slow reply, no i havent, but the guys are usually too busy commenting on it being the tidiest they have every seen etc etc to actually look at anything too closely.
-
Thanks for the name drop guys, i dont come on here all that much anymore! Yes can do if still needed tho i imagine freight to Invercargill would be somewhat prohibitive. its yours for $100 just let me know where i am dropping it, also have some M Twist side skirts as well if they are of interest, and a sedan/coupe rear etc.
-
Hutt Automatics did mine, same findings. Yeah wish I’d don’t that on mine too, but they were in too deep. If I had stopped and thought it would have been the better option.
-
Probably have just need a photo or part number, all yours to you as usual if I have it

any updates Brett ?

E30: Power antenna / B pillar interior trim / e30 or E36 nz radio
_ethrty-Andy_ replied to actletpone's topic in Want to buy
power antenna are a hard find these days bud, just buy new OE ones from Pelican Parts or similar. Radios are pretty hard to come by too, most were ripped out and binned in the 2000s. Have a look at this one which looks good and has blue tooth etc model number Continental TR7412UB-OR https://www.continental-automotive.com/en-gl/Trucks-Buses/Interior-Cabin/Infotainment/Radios/FM-AM-Radio-with-USB-Bluetooth
