hobby at the moment is finishing the unpacking and to clean up. Going to do some gardening soon... well troy will do all the hard work of course pulling out all the dead or tacky trees/plants that i want gone, while i sit back and encrouage him hahahaha ill do the fun stuff.. like the planting. I think its fun.. no idear.. never done it before.. Its just going to be hard keeting it alive. I bought some flowers for the frount garden a few weeks ago.. killed them in 2 days. Aparently it was the hot weather that did it.. thats what ill keep telling myself anyways.. IM NOT A PLANT KILLER!! :D

Yeah still working as a kindy teacher. The kids are being wonderful at the moment.. its just the staff are being petty idiots. Both my center boss and my state boss are on my side thats what counts. Work has offered me to work casual hours next year. Basicaly with the money i will get with centerlink, i can only earn a cetain amount before they cut payments. Work said they will employ some one that works around me. Say if i can only do say 3 to 6pm, the other person covers the rest of my normal 8.5 hour day. So i just work as many hours as i can untill my centerlink payments are cut down.. and then i stop because its not worth it if they cut my centerlink payments down. Im lucky they are doing this for me. Troys moving in also before i start uni (hopefully) so ill be fine for money. Its not like im used to having lots anyways.. all of my money at the moment goes on bills.. i should actually have some money to play with when troy moves in and im at uni.

moving is deffently not cheap. Bond, rent, etc etc.. you need at least a grand for a normal priced place.. then if its not a furnished place.. thats more money.

I have a washing machine for sale though ben, if you need one when you move :D cheap only $50! Twin tub... really easy for a bloke to use.

    • 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.
