would the workshops insurance cover your car Mitch?

it should as there was no waver or anything that had to be signed stating cars are left at owners own risk or anything to that effect ?

gotta wait and hear from either the shop or the police and go from there :P

Great to see ACA just didn't have time to run the drifting story, seems the crazy garbage ladies were more important. but then again by the way it looks the media spin doctors will be at work

i was never expecting a good story about it, i wasnt at all surprised when they opened with the word hoon and pictures of the magill road accident.

just use heavy flow tampons then dave...hahahahahah sorry had too...lol

Your car will be covered by them, its their responsibility.

This is why I refuse to leave my car in workshops. Not that I don't trust them ... I don't trust thieves!

Just remember some workshops have one of those lovely little signs, normally hidden in a dark corner that say "vehicles stored and driven at own risk"

Those signs mean diddly-squat.

do the not have good enough security in that workshop or something? being that this is like the second time they have been broken into :)

Well we'll find out soon enough when the CCTV footage is used to apprehend the thieves. If not, then I don't understand why they wouldn't have something like that in place. I have it in my own home, and I'm a simple 8-5 paid worker.

It'll be a case of: fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me.

Thats why I don't like leaving my car in someone else's premises ... not when my home security exceeds theirs!

CORRECT...........I still laugh everytime I see those signs, you'd think businesses would've learnt by now.

Wooooooooooooooo the Yen just cracked 80 to the A$, and the A$ cracked 84c US. Kinda makes me regret buying the $500 or so of bits I bought for my new car over the last month .... good news is the next few lots of stuff will be at 15% cheaper than the previous bits .... go the A$!

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
