Palazzo

It’s converted, but I still think $10k.

Paid $17k 2 years ago and has been at usell for at least 17 months. Bought a dud.

We looked at one of these in 1990, an “86 or ‘87 from memory. It had been towed in 3-4 times in the previous 18 months and had something like $25k of receipts for unexpected breakdowns. No thanks.

There’s an X3 at Pickapart Mangere, has door mirror, but not white.

People who drop construction debris etc on the roads. Felt the car pull to the left, pulled over about 800m later where able to. 25mm long, 15mm wide piece of metal through the middle of the tread. Inner sidewalls completely destroyed, new 325/30/21 Michelin Pilot SS x 2 for even tread wear. Lucky I had two in the shed.

That explains why it has been for sale for over a year.

On a side note, a mate had a 504 years ago, the drivers side rear guard had rusted out, so had been repaired with chicken wire netting, bog and newspaper, with a cursory spray of matching yellow paint over it. Completely visible from the boot, what you'd call an honest repair.

Looking back I guess that makes sense, I was looking at an X5 in Chch last year and vaguely remember it was $750ish for flights and no accommodation costs in Wellington.

Didn't Promo sort out some cheap shipping? Or drive it (when you can)? Assume it drives?

I like the bolt on Hilux flares.

I’m pretty sure I used a “soft” regular car polish on my last car. Worked fine.

A socket might work if it slipped over and through the ring, everything else just slips off. Tried pushing them in with all sorts. Thanks.

It’s attached to the intake for the turbo, so the mighty heave option potentially leaves me with a broken pipe and a no go car. I have pulled on it with as much pressure as I’m comifortable with. Tried squeezing the tabs, they are rubber and squash making them really hard to get a grip of, in fact impossible so far. There has to be something simple I’m missing.

This pesky thing. On an X5, but must be on others.

There was one at Pick a part. Auckland though.

Someone must have an idea on how to take this stupid thing off. Anyone?

How do I get this thing off? Says it should pull off, but it won’t. Do you have to close the tabs on it to get it to slide through? If so, how as it’s circular? Won’t pull up with force, or at least as much as I’m prepared to apply.

And Telstars according to Google.

Actually, when they were introduced they were in Camry wagons. Always seemed to be burgundy and they had the hatch somehow set at half open.

Dark blue

Definitely started with R

I’m pretty sure I drove a. 540i at the end of ‘92 in Wellington, rego RY?

Nice looking car, I still remember driving a demonstrator when they were first launched, seemed unbelievably quick, which it probably was for the day.
