Tried to love the snowfoam but best thing about it is the pictures / novelty.

Anyone in AKL want a free Karcher adaptor and 80% of a big 2.5 litre bottle of Autoglym Polar  Blast foam?

Pick up Beach Haven.

 

It doesn't do its job? 

Have you phoned around some of the local freight forwarders? I would give GT International Logistics a try.

Fingers crossed, just seems it won’t disengage.

It was a nice steady pace, nothing silly but did manage to wind it out a few times (joys of low power)

Will definitely revisit this road in drier conditions.

Throwout bearing?

Shame it's auto otherwise it's perfect. 

That would have been a bit of a rarity back in the day.

People using the express lane at supermarkets even though they are very clearly over the item limit . 

Express lanes still exist?

Is That Milford Sounds? 

I wish. No, it is the famous Passo dello Stelvio in the Italian Alps.

Thought the 80s were the height of it.... 

What's next!? 

8177861 and 8177862 (left/right) comes up as e36 skirts. In Europe they sell between €30-80. Would try around. NZ100? 

Honey, I've shrunk the kidneys. 

Old engine oil is perfect on wooden fences.

Did the rear windows fold open on this? 

I'd be interested in the mats, obd connector, and engine mount. 

Thought I also share this insight with the group. Gathered on a Merc forum. Provides me with reasonable reassurance...

I find that operating the wipers just before I make a turn doesn't always get me a cheerful wave from other motorists 

Or attempting to do a window wash... 😁 

A question I always wanted to ask... But have been too scared to test out. Googled online but couldn't find an answer. Maybe someone here knows. We have a 2007 Merc with steering column shift. I am wondering if the system is programmed to recognise 'user error' and prevent you from shifting into reverse when you are going above a certain speed. We had a non European rental for a week and now am second guessing everytime I indicate! 

Got the ventilation blowing again - bad resistor. It's definitely the season it is needed most.

Came across this bi-directional damper when putting everything back. Took me a while to figure out where it belonged to! Glove box. 

If you are looking for an engine specific specialist you could try Harris Performance (formerly Lynn Roger's Automotive) in Howick. 

Otherwise, you could have a chat to the following, all well experienced:

BM Workshop Botany or Grey Lynn

Bavarian Motors

Hell BM

Nothing should sit that close to any moving parts. Is the p/s hose even correctly routed? The pulley doesn't seem to be outrageously holding court... 

Interesting. What does it do?
