    Quick Questions

    Anyone couriered a front bumper? Looking to go between islands? Will ask couriers but if someones done it before would save a lot of time.
  5. Can see the logic. It seems a few people on bimmerforums send their oil away to be anaylsed, measuring metal compounds etc. Dont know how good this product is though, or even worth the effort when it isnt hard to change oil and filter.
  6. Why not use 2, and have her in your 5 series? Much more roomier and looks better :-)
  7. Was generalising.. Ive been to German kollision haus which is in "shock horror" Glen Innes I lived in pt england..
  8. Dude thats shithouse.. Id struggle not to hit someone in that situation. Not rubbing salt in the wound but its onehunga.. In that area you shouldve driven 15 mins over to botany and gone to Glenn in the first place, then none of this wouldve happened.
  9. Which city? I think woolf mufflers sell remus? If youre in akl. Also http://www.bestexhaust.com.au/shop/index_n...?cPath=78_22_38 ^forum sponsor ^

    Touch-up paint

    Just pop in to jerry Clayton or team Macmillan. They could order it for you if they dont have it, i have a couple plus the clear coat.
  12. Didnt check end the end, couldn't find my spark plug tool, i was pissed that 2 different mechanics couldnt find the leak, yet took me 2 mins and it was 32°c outside so i was sweating like a mofo plus the engine was hot. Yeah ive read the Bosch come loose.. Do you have the ngk bkr6equp? Where did you get them? Have found them in the us for $86 nzd shipped. Found them here around the 150 mark. Cool, sounds like the go.. i opened the drivers side cover and the first bolt was missing and it turns out that the magnesium has been exposed and broken off, i touched it and it turned to powder :-(
  13. Ok, thanks for that info. Anything else? from what you can see in the pic? Just give the coil packs a clean down? Have read that a few people just wire brush then sand, a few have high temp painted, as the flaking near the sealing surface can cause the gaskets not to seal as its uneven when replacing the new gasket. Which is why i only wanted them to find a leak and no more.
  14. Forgot to say the first place wanted to take intake off and check valley pan. Cookies in dunedin also pressure washed my car, which was nice as it was dirty from the drive, but wrecked one of my pdc sensors which was sad, although had come right as of yesterday, mustve been some water inside it.
  15. So ive had a little oil leak for a while, small drip off the bell housing. Didn't get to fix it before i left akl, a week or so ago my ccv shat itself so i ordered a new one off ray. Also the airbag light was on I took it into a place here in qtown that services mercs and a few other brands, does do bmw but dont specialised in them, which is why i only asked them to find the leak, as its hot here and had gotten worse. They steam cleaned the engine and couldnt find a leak anywhere, asked me to come back and in a few days. Suggested it could be my osv/ccv. $112.95 I took it through to dunedin as i wanted them to change my osv and do a full scan, and clear the airbag light.. and look for my oil leak. I had researched and asked ray how youd go about changing it, as there were some people saying you need to remove the air intake manifold, where others said you can do it without by reaching over and undoing the hex bolts. So they fixed it quickly, i hung around knowing it Wont take long. Their conclusion is that its possibly the osv leaking but could possibly be the r/hand valve cover.. but was unsure. Finally had a day free so i thought id look at the plugs/coils as apparently they can cause some of the ticking that m62's have from loose plugs. Looks like Im busy next weekend, whats the best treatment? Bead blast and powder coat? Or prime and high temp paint? Cant see in pic but was a little bit of oil pooled in there. Also just hit the 6320km since 27th Dec.

  17. Probably, if i can get the parts i need second hand and at a good price i'll just do that.About to get new lights and then next month a new front bumper so not too worried. Im sure all an insurance company would do is get it glued back in place, plus my bumper is stone chipped so not sure how they'd go about it. My pup is only 13 months and is pretty mellow around other dogs, they mature around 18 months which is when they change to a dog, and yes they are known to be same sex aggresive, extremely dominant.. mine is a full male so i only have trouble when some dominant neutered males have issues with him.. he usually ignores them. But other dogs want to fight him. But when they get older they tend to not tolerate dogs being dominant towards them and will scrap until the other dog submits. Yeah a lot of hair.. he has dropped his undercoat but still feels the heat, hes lying on my bathroom floor tiles and still panting away, its 30.8 deg outside here, but only 35% humidity which is good. I use a coat rake and a.vacuum which helps brush a lot of hair away.
  18. Ok cool, i'll call you on Tuesday?Would just need the light housing and glass, and that small plug. The fog (holder)? Is still intact and can be re used. You have a few other motorsport body parts? I hit another rabbit on Tuesday, and ripped the drivers side underbody panel, behind the wheel arch.. Actually need the whole right hand wheel arch too as it demoed all the panels
  19. Alaskan Malamute, he is 13 months old.Loves rabbits and i guess hares.. I usually take him rabbit hunting at dusk, manages to get a few a week. They have a high prey drive so him knowing the difference between rabbits and cats is good, otherwise they can chase and kill anything small furry and running, i take him to the same spot so he realises its time to chase small things.
  20. Yes you could be right.. wasnt aware we had hares? Just thought he was a big bugger.
  21. So was driving home last night when i saw a rabbit.. Moved to the right and the little bastard ran in front of me. Went to my car before and saw i was missing a fog light and some of my bumper, it has ripped the fog wires right out of the loom which is great! Oh well Atleasts my dog had a good breakfast
  22. ^ due to an accident or a muppet owner not looking after it?
  23. For 11 grand? Dearest e39 on TM is $29,000 which is crazy. edit: oh its sold, it was $11,000 which was really good for that, was put to $30,000 as it obviously sold outside trademe.
