Thanks.
You'd have to hope it can secure a piece of plastic trim!

It sure will . I mounted my number plates with it and a sky box in the motor home. I've used it for heaps of things. I've got 1.5 rolls here which I need. You will need braid fishing line to get it off. It might be 3m but I can't find it on their web site. The rolls are not big... about 60mm diameter and 16mm wide. The tape is black with a green backing tape

Bunnings have a double sided water proof tape I've used at work and home. I can't remember the brand but it has a green backing. It's quite often used for installing mirrors in bathrooms

Need a price as per forum rules Harrison 

The S52 is being sold by BM World further up the page.  You will need a bigger budget to do the motor, clutch, flywheel, gearbox, driveshaft, diff (depending on gearbox type used) and cooling system ETC.....and there will be quite a few Extras 

Jesus... those figures are hand grenade material ?

If it's the diff or gearbox it's too late changing the oil. The damage is already done

You can't diagnose recorded noises on a computer. It can even be hard when your sitting or driving in the car. A stethoscope, two people and a hoist is often required to locate noises.

I'm not trying to get too personal here. But may I ask you how mechanically experienced you are ? Do you have the tools and experience to do this sort of work. These are not 1980 Toyota Corollas 

Whats your perceived budget and time frame to do the repairs ? 

I'm only asking you these questions so I can gauge what advice I might give you .

Have a talk to Wayne at Garway Auto Services in Whitford. Wayne worked for me for 5 years. Great guy to deal with and really knows his stuff with Audi / VW & BMW

@B.M.W Ltd its got a M54 engine 

Talk to Ray at http://hellbm.com/ or Brent at BM World in Papakura

It would help by telling us what engine is in your vehicle

Jatco Jerk was and E36 issue

Waste of time and money just changing the oil Kyu. You should be changing the pan gasket and filter as well. Check for fault codes and clear any adaptions.

The ID plate is on the L/H side of the transmission

Only 3" I could find was here:

It could also have a back yard lockie job done on it as well

To get a close idea of what the ratio is, mark the axle and input/pinion shafts with twink to a reference point on the diff housing.  Rotate the pinion and count the turns and fraction of turns when you rotate the pinion to get the axle to rotate once. ie a 287:1 will be a fraction of just under 3 revolutions of the pinion to one revolution of the axle.
