  1. I'm positively fizzing. other than the ugly wheels... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/other/listing/4072646458
  2. the french mo'er has major structural rust. i should have known. :sigh:
  3. absolutely hate that I got finessed and was threatened with legalese into selling the semi electric land boat.
  4. oops, put this in the wrong place.
  5. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/540i/listing/4040830263 Still my guitar gently weeps.

  8. > Interwebs say F10 electric water pumps usually cark it at 120k kms > can't be right, it's the interwebs being the usual > my water pump dead at 132k kms. >me:
  9. recruiters getting my first name wrong three times in an email with my correctly spelled name in the email address. I'm over this.
  10. Fiat 500 Abarth Turbo. no joke, those things are potent.
  11. That's pretty darn dodgy of them...
  12. ^ PB has done the same to me, and they had actually put it on NZ Post Rural .
  13. ^ all things considering, I thought the same of my previous country .... the grass is always greener on the otherside. must be a prismatic effect.
  14. Buy Heritage model ex-overseas. beautiful car, but box arrived munted and a wiper blade was missing. lucky for me in classic car fashion, the missing wiper blade was in the boot. still happy with the purchase. awesome detail.
  15. that down low torque is addictive. also, as long as fuel efficiency is at least 30% better than the petrol models, i think there is still an argument to be had for diesels

      There's a lot of them about!

  17. Based on my admittedly older activehybrid 5, there is always at least 8-10% of charge in the accumulator. I would assume it would be the same for the *30e . the torque converter has been replaced with the electric motor so in theory when there is slip, it charges the battery. also, with these, the sport mode acceleration would use the full power. not the comfort or normal modes
  18. they even did a fresh WOF on the day of sale... well, contacted the dealer, will have to wait to see what they say. the cost for belt and the 3 tensioner/retainer bearings are ridiculous here, for a VQ35DE , around $500++
  19. just bought Murano for parents. three days after that serpentine belts start squealing, thought it would go away after a while as it has been wet, but nope. it is constant, a bearing has probably bit it. do i have a leg to stand on to get the dealer to fix it?
  20. Martin, maybe toll? on a commercial account it is around $100- 150 +GST depending on volumetric size.
  21. Sorry about that alan, since it is franchise owned, YMMV.
  22. ^ tried these guys for work, they take ages, but are cthe cheapest so far https://www.packsend.co.nz/sending-new-zealand-courier-freight/courier-services/budget-courier-service/
