  1. Hey mate, forum rules state we need at least one picture, and a price to sell stuff. Good luck with sale!
  2. Re-did my driver's side vapour barrier, as I have a wet wet rear driver's side carpet... Looks like I didn't use nearly enough Wurth's Dab-Off last time... I don't think I could have used more now... Also replaced my aging, and leaking windshield washer fluid pump. Nothing fancy... Wife drove it for the first time today ever for her, and first time in a couple of months. The glories of parking outdoors... I have ants! wtf
  3. I spend a lot of time online, and the forum theme change has honestly reduced the amount of time I spend here. I accept my presence isn't exactly earth shattering, or anything, but this change has made it unpleasant to visit the site. This was a serious downgrade for me. I've suggested, and offered before, but I'd be happy to volunteer my time to do this upgrade, fix up the http config so we use https, and any other configuration issues we may have. As a one-off, or on-going, as needed/liked.
  4. http://www.autographics.co.nz/product/NZ-W80 These guys also have the decals. Drop them a note though, as I don't see it on their site anymore.

    Quick rant thread.

    I've been using comgateway for years. They are a lot better than the NZ Post service. I was there in January. I don't think I can live there anymore, based on that one visit, alas... First time back with family since the election, and that division the media portrays is probably not nearly as intense as what I felt, alas...

    If my country wasn't crazy, I'd move back there for amazon prime, and cheap parts.

    '92 E32 740il

    Gorgeous car. What price do you have in mind for it?
  8. Hi Glenn, I couldn't find one that has 7, and 8mm, but is this the set you mean? http://www.sulco.co.nz/Tools/Flare-Nuts-Crows-Feet-and-Hydraulic/6PC-9-21MM-FLARE-NUT-WRENCH-SET.html
  9. I found this really helpful for mine.
  10. It's hard for me to come and see. It's an hours drive each way. I work at home with my kids here, so I can't really just ditch for this.
  11. I think the e39 Touring is precisely the larger car to partner with the Leaf. I agree entirely. I've got a lot going on right now with house selling/buying/getting screwed, and once that's over, I'll focus on this.
  12. Can I move my shades to the new doorcards? Or can I just glue my door cards? The leather/plastic bit is separating from the top bit.
  13. Still have rear doorcards in this? Do they have the sunshades?
  14. I am a masochist... How much? Also, do I need a cert for an engine replacement?
  15. Did you know Leafs appreciate in value right now? There is such demand for EVs in NZ, my Leaf today sells for $3k more than I paid for it a year ago... Plus, that is my wife's car. One guess as to which car would have to go... Plus, you drive the ugly thing now, shush about the Leaf!
  16. Mine now doesn't have ISOFIX either. I don't mind anymore. I've learned to love Britax Clicksafe. It's ideal for those classic cars without ISOFIX in the back. EDIT: Clicksafe also works around those obnoxious cars without ALR seatbets.
  17. Bye bye Mini. Good riddance!

    Quick rant thread.

    This is true, and for an online experience, shop from the US, and it'll be here quicker, and cheaper than most local options. I am a huge fan of FCP Euro, and will plug them any chance I get. That said, I have to plug Continental Cars BMW (formerly Jerry Clayton BMW) and their parts department. If you know what you want, call them, ask for a quote. They will post to you at a reasonable cost, and for small items, can end up being competitive with FCP Euro (since cost of shipping for small things doesn't scale down well.) You have to have the part number ready to go though, which is the only drawback. No searching, or other online-shopping benefits.
  19. Yeah, the comgateway folks are pretty good. I've used them since we lived in Singapore, they're all over and very good. I do admit I also get FCP to ship to me direct though. How did you get priority customer status!?
  20. I've used these guys a lot over the last 10ish years now... https://comgateway.com
  21. Link part from FCP Euro? I am always looking for an excuse to order more parts.
