Installed the lights - Awesome B) , now just have to do the self levelling loom install - Prolly another hour or two if I fit it through the car interior <_< The lights only took 25 mins for the pair.

Going for that factory look. Sound quality's alot better than the sh*t old American Hifi one, and better functionality too. Well worth the $99, damn, even the old headunits Remote works on this

DIY refurb on the m-pars by polishing the lip.

Considering what state they were originally in, they look heaps better!

Graham Hughes Panel Beaters on Barrys Point Road, Ray from HellBM recommended him and he was excellent for my previous work, he is excellent value for money (I just need lots of work done)

Gave the touring a full service last night, all new filters, sparkies, oil, waterpump, thermostat, coolant and drive belts. Unfortunently I managed to rip one of the leads off trying to get it off, it was like it was melted in there! Twisting it till it "clicks" and then pulling it seemed the way to do it. Trick for young players I guess :huh:

Today I need to fix the central locking issue which it keeps blowing fuses when you lock/unlock it after fitting two replacement solenoids. And fit my BS stickers if they show :D

Larger fuse, put a 5 amp more fuse in, have had this problem and been advised by our diag to do so. Either that or you have a f**ked sololoid that's putting strain on the electrics.

Yea I thought since the replacements had been sitting round might of been a bit sticky so upped it from 7.5 to 15 to try clear it but still blew so have to pull each plug off until I find which one <_<

sure can. it can do a few different types of SI reset, I did it twice on the E34, but it shows all green bars? maybe thats just what E34's do.

There will be 5 green bars then when the last green bar goes out the orange one will appear, then red a short time after.

A nice idea, but for the forseeable future, 6 E30's and 2 E36's have been my lot I think.

Pretty keen on a caldina wagon I think

That'll be it then. I've had the car 3 months so after I reset it last week it hasn't changed at all - It's completely different to my E30 one.

Cheers Greg.
