    5x wheels 3x 17x8 and 2x 17x9. Fronts are the better condition ones.. Rears are worse with paint flaking but do look worse in photos due to angle. Spare is in perfect condition. 4x Newish Continental MC6 tyres in correct sizes with 6mm tread left. Spare in Dunlop SP with 5mm tread. Prefer pickup but maybe able to deliver them Auckland at some point. $650

    The Silver Titan

    If it starts again try a few packets of Dr Trannys Lubeguard. Ive had excellent results using it along with good fluid fluid change.

    You can get a single mass conversion solid flywheel kit off Speedfactor for ~1k last time i checked. DKM brand stage 1 which is uprated from stock, i couldn't find much info on it but Evan and the team know and support their products better than most.

    Seems like the kind of cars you would just auction off if you wanted the best price for them. I guess the OP may of undervalued or had more interest than expected so reneged.
  5. Eagle
    Yeah its little fiddly on these but yep Kerry would be the easiest option

    Dimensionally they are the same so they match up fine with starter gear, crank etc. They are slightly lighter than a regular M52\M54 so some sort of difference in machining or internal construction. Im using one in my car with a standard Luk clutch kit but personally i hate the self adjusting clutch.
  7. Eagle
    Possibly. Easy enough to test with multimeter and wouldnt hurt to check the plug and redo the self adjustment of the switch given had work on in that area.

    I always rated the RE050A quite well until PS4 came out but i would of thought they would of been superseded by now. Tyre pricing by size with the same make\model seems go all over the show so you do have to ring around sometimes.

    I asked a simple question which you interpreted it as hostile and offensive, it really wasn't, maybe its you being a newbie here or reading it wrong that gave that impressions but that the internet for you sometimes. You questioning where i work and my skills was you insult to me tbh. You know could of handled it better also. Im quite sure ive never questioned anyone on this forums skills. All information ive posted is for the most part my own experiences. You may well of had good intentions by offering but your post came across as shilling to me , your presence on this forums is basically none, no one to my knowledge has vouched for you and you provided little information that left it open to interpenetration. I gave a known recommendation from the very trusted source and you discounted it while putting forward your offering. I don't you I admit i was probably a bit ott on the shill call but I don't work on blind trust\information and always question anyone unknown offering anything, that''s just how i operate. When people pull the patronizing card when questioned by someone with less perceived knowledge over simple things then i lose respect for them. As to your question - Ive already answered that above but that there are plenty of areas that are simple enough in this world that you don't need decades to knowledge to grasp or make the safer call. I honestly hope the OP buys the ZF kit for less than $170 that should of been offered at the start so everyone can win.

    Depends on the person i suppose, none of the E46 and E39's ive used PS4's were technically sports cars but having more grip is always an advantage to me especially if you have make an emergency maneuver in the wet etc. Certainly better street rubber available that costs even more and i think PS4 are fairly well priced in comparision.

    Self proclaimed expert here is clearly yourself. Ive never claimed to be expert so you are just making assumptions about me over the internet. Ive been been ordering and fitting solely BMW parts for over a decade, so of course I'm going to question when some random business tries to sell some unknown offering with zero info and blind trust. If 30 years of experience means you can't answer a simple question without getting offended then that's on you.
  12. Eagle
    Still haven't said who makes it so why would anyone take your word and buy a unknown product just because its a little cheaper?. Its common knowledge some aftermarket filters have qaulity issues. If you actually viewed the link you would see that it is a filter kit with a known quality gaskets and new plugs, the filter itself is $50 NZD (it you can get it for that then awesome) I don't sell parts i fit them for a living. We buy all sorts of parts off known reputable companies with actual warranties and not random internet shills.

    Hankook are a well known brand but generally not top tier. Depends on your budget but id recommend Michellin PS4's from Hyper, RE003 or S007A(if available) from Bridgestone

    Why doesn't the key work? You should be able to manually turn it 45 degrees anti clockwise to unlock.
  15. Eagle
    As above the engine in your car is known to be problematic. Many owner discover this expensive way unfortunately because of buying first and asking questions later. GL with it
  16. Eagle
    Yeah but what brand is it?. I can get cheap ones thru work also but there is no way id risk using one for a job like this. $100 is cheap insurance.

    https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-auto-trans-filter-kit-zf-24152333915 The gasket works fine. I use a light coat of RTV to keep it attached to the pan when installing so it doesn't move

    Something has to be done differently going by its terrible past.
  20. Eagle
    In the worst case scenario you'd certainly be off getting a new engine or even a new car depends on whats yours is like. As you probably know most of these cars aren't worth very much these days, so if you going to sink some coin into one it should one that's in reasonably good condition and spec from the start.
  21. Eagle
    Id get the ZF kit as its cheap enough ( eg $170 NZD shipped from FCP) and wont give you any problems.

    PS3 are better out of those 2

    Try connect another 12v car battery source to it via jumper leads and leave it for 1hr to give it some surface charge before charging
  24. Eagle
    Also oil may have dripped onto the manifold when you did the job, which would smoke for awhile once warmed up
  25. Eagle
    I'm not sure why you think it's the headgasket?. If you had just done the valve cover then you may not of sealed it correctly or parts are bad and it has leaked.
