Is that an actually real road. If so I do not know why all the bends. That road should have been straight.

It's intentional work by an architect to "enhance the scenic beauty".

How long did the front shock take to replace? I presume the e46 is much the same, the rears on mine were so easy to do.

About 1.5 hours, on the e36 its unusal, it bolts to the hub so undo the bolts top and bottom and you are half way there.
Longest part was swapping the spring!



Unfortunately for you, the e46 goes for the common shock that is dropped into the hub and clamped!



It may take you a bit longer!

Is it illegal to sell cars on the side of the road now? A friend had theres for sale outside his house, sign on it with the details and contact number, and he was told that it was illegal to do so?

Wouldn't imagine so, who told him it was?

It was certainly the first ive heard of it. He said the local shop-keeper (very strict man, no sense of humour or anything) told him that it came in some new legislation and that it is illegal to do so.

Sounded like the biggest load of crap, but said I'd ask just incase!

Maybe the road tax was out? If it was then it would've been an offence to have it parked on a public road.

It's apparently contrary to Section 71 of the 1993 Roads Act

I know some local County Councils take a dim view of it.

Someone hit my panda. Saw it the other day, and only got the full view today in daylight.

Rear door on drivers side pushed in just ahead of the wheel arch. Think it could be pulled out. Will put up pics later.
