sascha 17 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Failed a wof, for heaps of sh*t Edit: Including the bent rad support panel seen close to the bottom of the page here. The guy recons it's structural, and that needs to be straightened before he passes me! Can someone confirm if he's right or not? Surely if VTNZ always passed it it's fine?

Yes that is a structural component.... it's always amazed me how that car got a cert What other faults did it fail on ??

Forrest 35 Report post Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) My car has a bent rad support like that, I have no issues getting a warrant or a cert either. And I guarantee there are a sh*t ton more on here that get WOF's with it like that too. Painting it blue probably doesn't help...

sascha 17 Report post Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Oh yeah, went for a wof at MCR on sunnybrae rd, 'cause I had a voucher for a free wof there. Wish I didnt go there now haha. Failed on: Wiper blades, Windscreen washers, Number plate lights (not blown bulbs, there are actually no lights in there!!), Powersteering drive belt, a tyre, rear brake pads and a rubber mount on the steering arm has perished. So nothing too major to fix, other than that radiator support panel. Nathan - yeah its not that bright blue now anyway, covered in dust and sh*t Edited April 30, 2011 by sascha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted April 30, 2011 If you need that support straightened out, go see Graham at Artizan panel beaters, he is a really good dude to deal with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oscar90 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2011 Removed the m20 intake manifold 'cause it's making a really loud and annoying noise from the intake manifold area by the firewall.. 3 nuts were loose and part of one of the gaskets looked buggered, hopefully new gasket fixes this annoying noise..

NO XQS 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2011 Hi Guys, I recently bought a replica M3 bumper that apparently was made/meant for an E46 coupe but upon trying to fit it, the reinforcement bar do not sit flush in the replica bumper and also the sides of the bumper seems 10mm longer on each side. so it basically sits on the outside of the brackets and if I tried to force the ends of the bumper into the bracket the centre of the bumper folds or waves up. It's a nightmare but the seller told me he has sold plenty and never had issues. The only think I can say it's different is that my car is a NZ New car and the replica bumper is imported from China (so maybe moulded from Jap imports) question, does anyone here had the same issue or does anyone here know if the NZ New cars are different from the Jap imports? One would think the bumper fitments would be the same around the world? Or clearly the seller has given me the wrong bumper or the seller's supplier has given him a wrong batch?

Lucan 196 Report post Posted May 5, 2011 Bumper looked especially dusty today, went to wipe it off, realised I'd sprayed clear all over my bumper last night by accident. Dammit. What'll get it off? Some kind of solvent or will Cut n Polish do the trick? Don't wanna F my paint job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Matt_ 42 Report post Posted May 5, 2011 try wax and grease remover. (don't rub to hard or you may start rubbing paint off if it's just a spray can job) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted May 5, 2011 Very busy few days for me! In the last two days I have stripped the leather interior from my 525iXT and swapped it with the cloth interior of my 520iT. Sold the 525iXT to Brent from aucklands mate Brendon Then I pulled the engine from my 525i and sent the rest to the graveyard aka JKSouthern Euro yesterday, and the engine down south today Then I started stripping down the e30 to get the bits off that have sold already And tonight the plan is to finish installing the interior into the 520iT. Everyone else comes before me lol From four cars to two in one day. the flatmates are rejoicing. Turns out we had mushrooms growing under the 525i lol, unfortunately not edible or magical though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
