You just need to cross reference part numbers, easy enough for BMW, harder for Fiat and Mazda. I bought brake pads/discs and suspension arms for the Mazda, got the pad part numbers wrong, still worked out cheaper than than buying locally even after sourcing new pads.

Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?
Palazzo replied to E30 325i Rag-Top's topic in TradeMe discussions
Ha! That or that E30 M3? Gee, let me think for a nano second. -
@NZ_InFerno, ageee about Singapore. Have experience with 3 cars from there, 2 were awful, the 3rd was actually near perfect, but the percentages don’t stack up. Never again.

"just needs a few things sorted..." -
Could be anyone with a mortgage…

I checked the plate through Carjam as hers had a personalised plate, not hers, although yours did have an interesting plate previously.

A woman at work had a white one, spent $4,800 on fixing it (I said don't bother) and then about 8-9 months later, got another bill for ~$2k. She then sold it. Looks like a fun project once it's finished.

Wonder if they actually have the code for the stereo? -
Happily sitting in my dads garage, having just had a new(er) LSD fitted.
-
Don’t they all have black headliners if they are m325is? Or am I misunderstanding your question?
-
They have pumps and complete racks on there for €450-600 plus shipping. No idea if the parts numbers are correct, but worth a look if you get stuck.

https://spareto.com/products/bmw-repair-set-sensor/32106769232 I’ll admit I’m a bit confused, is this what you’re after?

Mine went up 15%, in laws went up 39%.

Seem to be under $500 delivered from overseas.

I’d be a happy man with that in that colour sitting in the garage for weekends.

The Ebbett Skoda site does mention that. ^^^

Far out. My natural suspicion of VAG products remains, pity because I thought Skoda had somehow avoided it. Sorry to hear.
-
Are you saying you’ve spent $4.5k on it since you’ve owned it? On what?
-
Does the CGA apply? Normal life of a water pump is more than 2 years….
-
Good grief. Given the typical parts mark up, that’s probably still a profit to them.

I used a company in New Lynn to do 4 wheels, they were helpful and cheap. https://www.powdercoatingfactory.co.nz/index.html

I know, that’s why I try and give the current petrol one a motorway run regularly.
-
She has walked it a few times, but Auckland weather in winter….especially this year. Plus I develop gorse pocket syndrome every time I see the price of one.
-
Thinking of changing a car, maybe to a 1 or 3 series diesel. But, it will only do short trips, like 2km each way. Plan is that it gets a scheduled motorway or longer run every two weeks. Am I asking for trouble?

And fixing the roads and roadscape. It’s amazing how many roads have power poles or large boulders (King Country especially) only a few feet or less off the driving line. There’s no leeway.
