Same, $82 delivered vs $209 plus courier local.

To be fair, I’d never heard of them until about 8 months ago when someone here (Mean?) suggested them. I used them last week, 4 days from order to delivery and only 39% of the cost of local including delivery. I should have ordered more parts, the delivery was more than the parts.

That’s funny, they were $15k higher than my purchase price on agreed value and are still happy with it 2 years later.

I have AA, 3 claims, contents and vehicle, vehicle was done to an excellent standard (was very minor), first contents also excellent, one now has been easy but slow, COVID apparently. No complaints, fair premiums, discounts for combined and the Aa membership is pretty much paid for in discounts on insurance and wof.

Which OBDII or wifi adapters are supported?

Have an iPhone, yes, everything changed. Will look at the Bimmerlink.

To veer slightly off topic, what is the easiest way to get my car to recognise it has brand new brakes all round?

Did the buyers ask for 4 different types of headlights? Or was that an option to upsell for more revenue?

Not enough.

I have a receipt somewhere for one new belt for about $1300, $900 for two sounds like a bargain, even if the reasoning for it is poor.

Nice work. I was looking at your photo thinking that looks so nice, but the drivers door trim looks funny, oh well, must be the light.

I know long life oil and all that, but some of those service intervals on something so high revving and with already fragile rod bearings, make my skin crawl. 22,000kms, 25,000kms, 27,000kms, 33,000kms. One of them with 3 years between.

They're actually not allowed to start construction work before 7.30am (that extra half hour is gold), only prep work before and no work at all before 7.30 Saturdays.

Speed bumps and raised crossings. Force every vehicle to slow down and accelerate again. Multiply that fuel usage out. I'm amazed nobody has called out Auckland Council for contributing to global warming.

Know anyone in Tauranga? https://www.pickapart.co.nz/webpage/WebPage.asp?Ref=10381&VehicleID=170837&SeriesID=141

At 10 years old and negative temps, I believe you’ve found your problem. Hope so.

Get them powder coated and ask the powder coater who they’d recommend. And shop around. I did mine last year, quotes were from $60-90/wheel for powder coating and $50-85 for blasting. I had one wheel done (blasted) at a place as a cash job that cost $100 (quoted $80, but cash so…), then had to have it redone as the job was so poor. Happy with the powder coating and they have a big range of colours.

I’m amazed by what low voltage does in a modern (ish) car. We have an ‘07 Civic, air con stopped working, thought “oh well”, needed a new battery, air con works. I’ve been reading thinking battery because you’re in a colder area, but I’m no guru. Look forward to seeing what the problem is.

How much damage can you do running on 91?

Just curious, never seen one with that level of soot around the exhaust.

Looking at the exhausts on this which look like a 90s Bighorn, is this poor running or the result of deleting the blue system?

Use it on the open road, it acts faster than I can and I never get flashed. Only thing is watching it is fascinating…. Edit for Jon, mine are adaptive LEDs.

It produces 400MW at full load, that is, when required by the grid requires at at times of high demand. Unless I've missed something.

Possibly, I just use it as an excuse to go to another cheaper supermarket down the motorway. What is short? Mine gets longer (2hr +) journeys about every 6 weeks except for lockdown, and has been fine.

Mine doesn’t do that no matter where it’s set. Top image would drive me nuts.
