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.

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.

Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?
Palazzo replied to E30 325i Rag-Top's topic in TradeMe discussions
He has the basket weaves with it for the new owner. The spoiler is ugly, but an easy fix (I have an mtech 1 spare in the garage). When people are asking silly money for 316/318 sedans or coupes, I don’t think his starting price is far off. That’s still a biiiggg gap to the last Mtech2 coupe (genuine not a hashed together copy). -
I don’t have my address on for this reason. But, I think this is total bs that they say they can pull you over or ticket you for it. The reasoning in this case is you were away from home. So, if I drive to Wellington to see my dad I can expect to be pulled over for being out of area? A civil liberties lawyer would have a field day if that case ever went to court for anything discovered under the “stop”.

Probably a few days if you factor in no money spent on maintenance. Then again maybe insurance is high as thieves favourite?
-
Maybe get a Tiida for shopping?
-
So you’re not allowed to go away from your home address? And he gleaned all of this from running your rego and then a drivers licence check in a private car park?

Basic question of SMG II gearbox parking
Palazzo replied to godmars_snakly311's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, fair point, I guess it’s holding on an actual gear as opposed to the park “lock” shaft in the ZF. -
Basic question of SMG II gearbox parking
Palazzo replied to godmars_snakly311's topic in General Discussion
Sorry, I wasn’t very clear, I’m sure it says don’t just leave it in park, but always use the parking brake to hold the car, rather than slapping it in park and using the trans as the brake. -

Isn’t this the exact opposite of recommendations for parking with an auto trans, so you don’t rest the weight of the car on a small piece of metal not really designed for the task? -
I vaguely remember you saying you preferred ATE brakes over anything else Glenn?
-
Has anyone brought in brakes (rotors/pads) from the likes of FCP etc and found an answer to shipping costs? Parts are around $430, shipping is $550?
-
Control arms is a good punt at that mileage. To check at least.

Govt Breathes New Life Into "Clean Car" Legislation

Actually the Toyota website says 2025, not 12-24 months for BEV and hopefully a hybrid ute, not an EV ute as stated, by end of next year from the NZ CEO. -
