There are alot of places like that in NZ dont know if there are so many around here. For some reason the NZ ppl can get away with anything and dont have to pay an arm and a leg for public indemnity insurance.

Yeh what was the "Vegas" comment all about? is there a vegas in NZ???

lol!

Vegas is short for "Rotovegas" which is a local nickname for Roturoa.

It's a prime site, lots of geothermal activity (geysers, boiling mud, hot pools, beautiful lakes, fishing etc) one of the biggest tourist attractions in NZ. It's just got lots of accomodation, lots to do and is pretty good driving distance for most of us in the North Island - about 3 hours from Auckland, maybe 4 from Wellington.

If any of you guys make it over to NZ, put Rotorua in your list of places to go...though naturally if you know where to go you can see some of the best mud pools / thermal activity for free rather than forking out $$$ everywhere!

      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.
