Couldn't help but share the pics of my $350 "Hella" oil level sensor that arrived from totalengines via eBay today. It's like they're not even trying anymore ... And I think that's sad.

My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.

Yep, its been down for a while, as I understand it it will be back soon.

Bloody apprentices! 🙄

😬 This is still for sale. And it's had zero price updates. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2002-holden-commodore-s-vx-ii-manual/SSE-AD-12765398

Yep. I love the inside of my E39. Not sporty by any stretch but the epitome of "only what you need".

😍 Yes! (but no! 😢 )

Yeah but they dont look like this, which is GOOD.

Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though! Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.

I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that.

Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.

Welcome! Can't go wrong with a Stag.

Looks good. Nice height.

Definitely.

R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to? I'm not really sure what you're saying.

This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

Is this a critter cage for rescues?

Woot! My diff is done! I just need to finish doing a wheel bearing while the exhaust and shaft is out of the way, pick it up and hopefully put it in next weekend!

Go back and watch the video again...

Did you even watch the video? Its not a steering wheel.

You've been so patiently waiting for your moment! 🤣 Haven't got enough time on the freeway. I did drive it up from Canberra but I have no idea how it did in this area.

But not with the Wrist Twist!

Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).
