  1. They probably get home-D after a year or so since there's no space in the jail. Of course unless they build that new one with floor heating in time.
  2. Unlikely to find a e34 manual as electronic form unless someone scanned into PDF somehow. I would suggest trying eBay.

    Lambowned

    that's messed up....
  4. Could it be fuel pressure? (per BMW TIS RA 13 31 029)
  5. Hope this one might help... http://www.bmwe34.net/E34main/Trouble/Locked.htm
  6. This "colour" is illegal in many countries.

    Rubbish?

    What brand are they? They look a bit like Depo. Heard they have fogging issue.

  9. Team McM said there're two ways to do them and the one printed in the manual often don't work for most people. (BMWorkshop said the same too) I got them Team McM to re-sync the key for me for free (probably because I bought some parts on the day) but they wouldn't tell me how. Sorry, transponder do you mean the little electronics brain that's in the car? I got quoted the IR w/transponder key replacement for around $250 from Team McM. Transponder-only master key for $170 Transponder-only service key for $95 (this won't open/lock boot nor glove box)
  10. This is specifically not allowed in trademe rules. That said, they don't have to know what they don't have to know I guess...
  11. Remove the wires first. Then, there should be 5 screws to remove them. 3 on top as you can see. One you need to remove the corner indicator, the last one you need to remove the radiator cover (a big piece of plastic with 5 screws). It's on the opposite side as the other one.
  12. If you are after factory spec fluid, then it depends on your transmission type, PM your VIN number and I'm happy to look up for you.

    Need to know

    If in Auckland, you can try Evans in Onehunga or Euro Collison Repair in Glen Innes. Where the latter specialise in BMWs.
  14. 95 could still be 4" at the back. Just ply the speaker grill off from the parcel shelf and have a look. That said though, rear speaker should be the last thing on any upgrade if at all. Get some decent front and maybe also an amp & sub depending on your budget and requirements.

    wheel alignment

    Yeh, I've done a few there on all my family cars. They picked up a suspension problem that Firestone Direct couldn't. Explained uneven steering effort between left and right turns on my CRV.

    wheel alignment

    Newmarket Tyre service on Calrton Gore Road.
  17. The gong is on the panel right above the padels. Suppose you could just unplug the wires.

    e36 323i

    I've never did an ICV clean myself, but it's under the intake manafold.
  19. I suppose depending on how often you carry a passanger on back seat. I reckon 2-door bimmers are more proportion and better looking than its 4-door counterparts. That's just me though...

    TXTing

    Teenage/Youth are too obsessed with TXTing. Working in retail that sells mobile phone, young people come in for a phone, the first thing they ask is "do they TXT?", follow by "how good are the key pads?". Their parents' only complain about mobile phones is that their children are spending too much on TXTing despite the free weekend and $10 TXT. I am 26 years old. I only text a handful of message a month for the last 3 years because I prefer to call. When I do text, they are in full spelling with punctation. I mean, why not in full spelling? You got 160 characters per message, since you are charged per message, why not use it to the max? TXT itself might well be a scam from the networks, much of the marketing are focused on TXTing, they have rising profit from TXTing in the last couple of years. But when you think of it, things that you can talk in a 1 minute phone call (which is a lot!) could used 6+ text messages to get across. I really don’t understand why the teens think that if they can write in TXT language, they are into something cool. For all I know, many years later, school work and exams will be completed in TXT language, English become a lost art like Latin. There is already Holy Bible in TXT language, what’s next? Oxford TXT Dictionary?
  21. Thought they are reasonably bullet proof as long as you don't floor it when cold or high-rev down shifting?

    Quality Tools

    Is the Crescent brand any good for its price? They got one at Dick Smith (CAT# T6127) seems quite good value.
