  1. Warning folks do not use Youshop.   They are a complete disaster.   My parcel costs $144 to ship.   It arrived in NZ on 3 August 2018 and it's still sitting there .   I have had a number of "updates" saying it is still waiting clearance.   I had already provided proof of purchase to Youshop along with a PayPal invoice.   I have phoned and sent and received quite a number of emails to try and get the fees paid.   Progress after 12 days and much effort is zero.  I have provided another copy of proof of purchase etc and nothing changes.

    Don't use the useless mongrels.

     


  2. I was wondering why the E46 328 was a bit sluggish so decided to give a bit tender loving care.   I thought the vacuum hoses and CCV would be a good start.   Bit of a mission removing the inlet manifold.   Didn't take long to find the first problem.   Lucky I decided to do the works.   I have a full replacement kit for the intake boots, disa valve, MAF meter, oxygen sensors and CCV and hoses.   The picture shows just how big the hole can get.   I thought I would be looking for pin holes not great bloody rips.  Some of the little vacuum lines are so brittle.

  3. The person who came up with the idea of run flats should be tortured to death in a slow and inhumane manner for inflicting this idea on other humans.  I have several cars with run flats and every single time there are delays of up to a week or more getting replacements.   The cars are modern but the tyres are bloody difficut to find regardless of the cost.   I don't search for cheap tyres I just want new tyres.   If I didn't have a number of alternative cars I would be frequently without a car.  Here's hoping for karma to visit the son of a bitch who came up with the idea of run flats.
