The rear diffuser on that 320d is from an M-Sport 335d. The exhaust tips don't even look the same - the one on the driver's side is jutting out further.

TDi Rs4 type sh!t.

Bmw is a no go rang him again mentioned I spotted it in the damaged repairable section as well then he said oh yea it's not just the scuff mark there's a small rattle in the flywheel as well. The fact he didn't mention that earlier makes me just think no not worth it.

Well neighbour, what's the craic? You've been car shopping since you bought the passat I guess.

Cheensbo · 10-06-2015 04:53PM

Howdy lads! Haven't been about too much lately, don't get online a lot.

Picked up a new motor today, I'll give one guess as to what it is :pac:

Pajero

Yup, fella was leaving the country and needed to sell in a hurry, couldn't turn it down at the price, its not bad, 3.0v6 auto, i'll get some better pics after I clean it up a bit!

Sweet. Looks cleaner than your old one! You back living in oz? A friend just bought a '93 SWB here. It's a pretty cool import. Twin headlights, dual digital climate control and cruise control. Never expected one to come with that :eek:.
We were trying to do tight turns on tarmac the other night but the diff kept locking the outer wheel no matter what setting it was in. Is that normal or is something up?

YbFocus · 10-06-2015 05:14PM

That's not Newbridge anyway?

Love those old Pajero's. My father had a 1990 Pajero up until a couple of years ago. Remember seeing it in the South Tipperary area about 2 years ago, would love to know where it is today! Never had any trouble with it apart from the key barrel being so worn so it could be started up with a knife

Miles cleaner, that other yoke had some extensive battle scars :pac: This one's only got 280k kms on it too! Nice one, some of them came with pretty high specs!

Locking in the rear? has it got a diff lock or an lsd? Sometimes the lsd ones skip a little on a tight turn but wouldn't call it 'locking'

Nope, tis Melbourne

Noccy_Mondy · 10-06-2015 05:37PM

Why did I decide to go polishing the mondy.

I am so dead it's not funny.

Sounds a good one, hard to get clean ones here.

Ye at the rear and more of a skip than a full lock ye. Sounds like it has an LSD so! Has a suspension height adjuster aswell. Always thought they were a pure agricultural machine like a defender but they seem much more comfy and dailyable than the Land rovers do. He has leather seats lined up to go in and all. Reckons he'd be selling it in a years time. Might consider it depending. In other news was offered a spotless 300zx TT the other day. Cheap at mates rates but I'd need somewhere to keep the thing. Be sweet to hold onto it as a weekend car when classic tax comes around. One of my dream cars

You know you could've stopped before you, well... died :P

Haven't seen ye much around these parts Cheensbo, hopefully Straya is treating you well..!

On another note, it is an absolutely epic day for a spin up towards Glendalough today if any of ye around. Just got back there

:cool:

Yeah that's for sure, they're not farmed to death over here. Yeah probably does, there should be an orange sticker with japanese writing in the door jamb or a sticker on the diff and that will indicate if its lsd,but chances are if it doesn't have a diff lock it'll have an lsd.

The suspension is probably the damper adjusters, they've little actuators on top of the shocks. tbh it's a miracle if they work, they're flimsy enough.

Yeah they're pretty nice on the road, lwb even moreso!

It has H and S on the adjuster. Dampers makes more sense. He reckon it was moving up and down a tiny bit. Something was happening anyway :P. Will investigate the LSD thing further. Best of luck with yours!

Nah, i just came out on a working holiday visa, and came back for a 2nd year. Might stay a bit longer if i get the right job.

Yeah that'll be the one, maybe the actuators still work, ive never had them work on any of mine, ye might be lucky!

Interestingly this paj is my first auto, out of 20+ motors! Will report on my opinion after a few days :pac:

This is mainly aimed at people driving the south link in Cork but probably relevant to other motorways and dual carriageways.. Has anyone noticed these brain dead ****ers leaving 20-30 car length gaps between themselves and the next car in heavy traffic? It's driving me insane, causing serious traffic jams on my way home from work every day! Please someone else tell me this annoys them too!

I've noticed it's mostly people on the phone. The traffic is so slow moving it's probably a good time to check it for most people. It's only getting worse on it too the last few months. Took an hour from Blackrock to get through the tunnel a few nights now.

Yeah, I've my phone in my Brodit and I don't go near it when I'm driving unless it's to make a call on the bluetooth, people still don't realise how deadly using your phone is while driving. The gaps people are leaving are absolutely ridiculous though. Would love if the Gardai would start pulling people over and telling them to cop the **** on!

There was a beautiful 97 Aston Martin parked on Swords main street earlier this evening, OH and I spent a few minutes admiring it, it was in fantastic condition

Toyotafanboi · 10-06-2015 09:39PM

Paid for my 'new' engine today. Nervous enough tbh, looks dry and it runs fine so here's hoping it's a good go-er and not an oil burner etc.

Going to do the clutch while the engine is out. If i can get one cheap... before tuesday... :pac:

Trying to think of anything else i should do while the engine is out. Chain tensioner? Water pump?
