C-130 Hercules

Picking up on paint subthread on here again - did you find a paint shop yet. After the storm this week, we have found ourselves in the unfortunate position needing panel and paint work. My trusted panelbeater has recently sold up. Going to Ray Hasler I worry the cost might blow out for insurance purposes. 

Morning all - long shot, but does someone have a C4 diagnostic (MB) unit I could borrow in Auckland? 

Trying my luck here. Do we have someone within our esteemed community that could help me to virginise and Programme a 722.9 Merc tranny? Got a new control unit for it but don't have online xentry.

That's not an m, it's an M !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably a high ranking Mason. 

Most important is that you get a good feel for the place and talk to the owner / senior tradesman and explain what you are after. If they are proud of their work they should happily show you some recent / current work. If if starts to feel like you are taking up their time its a bad sign. My 2c

Looks like a pro setup, but I can't see anywhere that mentions they do insurance work - they mention being approved repairer for various manufacturers, I don't know how that relates to what I need though. If they do insurance* then I will definitely be checking them out. Thanks for the info.

*Some googling later and reading reviews it does look like they do insurance work.

They have done so in the past. 

My first place of call would be Ray Hasler. Might pay to check them out? 

Head for the hills. There are many more good looking fish in the ocean. 

Interested in the business head unit. The top one. Do you the code for it? 

This on the Southern this afternoon...

I am glad they bought Rolls Royce instead.

You'll need a diagnostic software / key coder. Coding would be done by reading code directly off ecu as I understand. 

The only thing you can code without tools are the remote functions. For the rolling code to start the engine you'll need to go deeper. 

Hybrids are charged at a reduced rate of $53/1000km

Ice pay through fuel excise

Diesel via RUC

Ev and hybrid through future ruc

Bicycles, scooters, horse carts next? 

Finally... 

Welcome back!

Bit of a thread dig - can someone confirm what the factory size of style 32's were fitted on e36 318is, etc?

I think is was 7.5 x17 front and 8.5 x 17 rear.

 

So, had the opportunity last weekend to confirm correct sizing. For posterity - as per Herbmiester above. Offset of 41 front and rear.
