Hi all, As there has been no real movement on this for a couple of weeks I thought I'd light the fire again. IMHO one of the reasons we had such a good turn...
BMW Car Club Vic is doing the bi-annual tour to Tassie again this year over the Melbourne cup weekend - so potentially you could combine with this - usually...
All, I won't go into too much detail (yet!), but I'm actually half way thru' having my clutch replaced (finally!). But a problem has been found with the...
Hi Frank, I had exactly the same issue when we did the clutch on my LE - even down to paying for a special jig to get the flywheel machined!! Didn't have a ...
Thanks Matt, But I believe early November is no good for people, might still try to convince the bride we should be going anyway. Cheers Garry _____ From:...
All, after 2 years since buying the car, and knowing that the clutch had been identified (via an NRMA Inspection) as having 'excessive wear', #15's clutch has...
All, at our Winton/Alps tour a few months ago, some of you commented on the 'awesome' sound of my #15. To me it was welcome praise indeed given that we all...
All, there have been a number of posts over the last couple of years about insuring our magnificent cars. Most of you have suggested (and gone with) Shannons....
All, like the Insurance post/email that I just sent a short while ago, another subject that has been raised a number of times has been about Tyres. Since I...
All, has anybody checked what BMW themselves recommended for the tyres on our cars? According to both the Owner's Handbook (pg 147) and the Tyre Pressures...
I have to say I am very happy with my Pilot Precedas. On a long drive last week into the Gold Coast Hinterland and beyond they performed faultlessly. They are...
All, is it just me (who notices this), or do our v8's emit a great deal amount of heat? It's not something that I noticed earlier on, but I've definitely...
Hi Frank, Regarding tyre pressures and BMW recommendation, remember we are not in Germany with their speed limits,so don't need the high pressures to keep the...
Thanks Ian; great advice. I'll adjust the pressures on my tyres when I do the rotate of the back wheels (to get the t/start wheel cap directions correct on all...
Hi Frank, this is a very informative post - and makes interesting reading with all the comments grouped together. Just shows how subjective a decision buying...
Great stuff Frank. I switched to Shannon's about 3 years ago, and have no complaints. They are very easy to deal with, have paid for 2 windscreens free of...
This is normal with our cars. Try putting you hand on the left hand front guard (just in front of the wheel arch) - gets too hot to touch due to the heat...
Hi All from Sunny North Queensland After finding green blood on the garage floor, I have had the diagnosis that #4 has just blown a water pump. I was hoping to...
Thanks Geoff, I've just received my new Shannons policy; and I've noticed that with our 3 cars all being included, the premiums on both the LE and the Vienta...
Hi Frank Sounds like you have been busy. I don't know whether you made enquires about usage of your LE with shannons, but my LE is insured for part time use...
G'day Richard, as is usual for me, it was full disclosure. I told Shannons that whilst I was insuring both the LE and 323i, the LE is my primary vehicle ......
G'day Nigel, it is not unusual for the water pump to fail at this age on our cars (mine failed at 45K klm). If your's is original then you will notice that the...
Frank My main vehicle is my work truck so the LE at part time use is legitimate. I will keep my ear open for 323 for you, give me some details Richard #41 ... ...
There was a white one for sale in Brisbane, not sure if it sold or not. Search back through the last 3 months emails to find the details. Andrew #18...
