tony2657 5 Report post Posted February 18, 2011 He will probably fix it and then ask for 2k that's why I go to DCH now haha.Not really fair. Always ask for an estimate before you get the work done, and ask them to phone you if it is going to go over. Sometimes they just find stuff they weren't expecting.

chippies 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) apart from cleaning the exterior i also cleaned underneath. lets just say after 5 hours of cleaning i am happyer than i was with it. was a hard job but there is nothing that degreser cannot get rid of, and steel wool. pictures speak louder than words. and then i also changed out my fuel filter, which involved new fuel line old one and new one Edited February 19, 2011 by chippies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kerry 10 Report post Posted February 21, 2011 Reconnected the Vanos Solenoid... yes I know who didn't connect it... it was over a year ago and it wasn't me The drags ? Hampton ? Taupo ? without it working... driving it's like a new car. I was wondering why it didn't feel the same...just thought it was me till I put the scanner on it to check some data for comparison on a job we were doing well thats better than my luck , i put new lifters in and one will refuse to pump up so now i have 2 knocks im my bitch of a motor, still goes really well but sounds like absolute, crap winter rebuild i think.

Gaz 1062 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Threw this on over the weekend before the sweet quake. Yes needs more slammage, narrower tyres and better photos. A level driveway wouldn't go a miss either. Edited February 24, 2011 by Gaz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1044 Report post Posted March 8, 2011 Sad sad sight. I feel your pain, im sure most of us have been there ^^ at some point haha. When I got mine back when it had an m20 in it 4/5years ago I took it out for a drive after I cleaned it ... went out to clevedon then miranda .. was driving back .. around maramarua noticed my lights started to go dim. pulled in at the gassy and asked for a new battery .. they sold the last one a few ours before. Andy and gus made the trip out to change out my altenator ... legends ... true legends. the call was made "welcome to e30 ownership" hahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
