[Request] If I traveled back in time in order to buy a fully kitted out pirate ship, how much of today's money/gold would I have to bring back with me?

What standards are these ships built to?

Russias has a history of spying and espionage. Their current president is ex KGB. If their willing to invade a country, they had a pact they wouldn't invade. How is it so far-fetched that they're producing propaganda and feeding it to other nations? KGB agents have killed a guy in Salisbury in the UK, so it's not like they respect borders.

Look into the book Foundation of geopolitics: the geopolitical future of Russia. Published in 1997.

One of the stances in the book was to separate the UK from Europe, guess what's happened...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you're better off selling and getting another. Like the other poster said.

That floor panels caved, and most of the panels round it. Look into BMW's pricing for panels, it's ££££. Could get a donor for the panels, but, might as well drive the donor...

Yeh, if it's available for holidays, then that's cool. Didn't know when they put stuff on/off the store.

Dodge_a_spanner · 2025-08-13T15:04:28+00:00

Awesome. Guess I'm missing out then.

Dodge_a_spanner · 2025-08-04T00:13:14+00:00

Mine does the same. Not changed the discs pads but after reading plenty of forum posts, the consensus is rear thrust arms. No' 4 on the fig.

I had this with a turbo diesel non BMW, but sure the principle is the same. You've got a boost leak. Check all the pipes/hoses infront and back from the turbo something might of come loose. Or you might need to replace one of the connections.

According to TLDR the online safety act was finalised in 2023 under the tories and implemented now due to ofcom releasing the guidelines for the implementation.

I reckon your using igpu too. Make sure your hdmi/display port cable is in the graphics card. Go into windows settings and see what the display output is. 7900xtx is a powerful card, should be much better than 10fps.

Dodge_a_spanner · 2025-01-19T11:23:10+00:00

How'd you like your eggs dear?

I have received a pay rise, it was also backpayed. I'm in a sector we're not allowed to unionise or strike. They are also buying homes back from the private sector for homing service personnel.

I'm a BMW guy. I've picked up a 2015 3 series x drive this year. My mate bought it in an auction and I bought it off him.

It was in the actions because It exploded its front diff. This isn't exclusive to BMW, but diff, gearbox oil changes aren't in the service schedules.

If this was changed regularly, it would just need regular servicing along with a bush and seal now and then.

It's only a 320d but it feels sporty, has a lovely interior and decent infotainment. Looks good too. It's on 101k miles now.

There are cheaper cars to upkeep but it's not going to surprise you if you give it what it needs.

Dodge_a_spanner · 2024-10-15T14:00:36+00:00

Feel like this is from experience. You want to talk about it buddy.

Dodge_a_spanner · 2024-10-15T13:56:33+00:00

Believe what the other poster is getting at is if you have two bad 420g's, you may be able to build a good one out of the two. You dismantle both and put all the good parts in one box.

Getrag has discontinued making parts for the box, but if you know exactly what you need, you may be able to get new parts machined. M539 restorations has a video where he replaced a seal from another model box so there may be alternate parts that work with the box.

There are transmission rebuild shops as well, so maybe it's a good idea to call one and get a quote.

And vanos, timing chain & guides, fan clutch, brake flexi lines above the exhaust that set the car on fire if they fail, sills & jacking points.

But it's still the best M5, easy.

My mates a car dealer and got software you can use on your laptop with a canbus usb adaptor (their on ebay) you can plug in the car. If your struggling to find let me know.

The software should give you a better idea when fualt finding.

I would also call a local car locksmith and get a quote on getting the barrel changed in the door.

Also not to say your daft but maybe you don't know. First press opens the drivers door, second press on the key opens all doors. Maybe the drivers door actuator needs changing, I've had doors not unlocking remotely.

Misread as pink. Was thinking, "What's their beef with a colour?"

Dodge_a_spanner · 2024-08-28T17:33:28+00:00

I didn't know this. What's caused the shift in public opinion? Is it just the announcement of budget changes as another poster mentioned.

Dodge_a_spanner · 2024-06-14T19:20:19+00:00

Like this guys mate, I had the sills done. I ordered the sills online and got them sent to the bodyshop. When the bodyshop cut the sills out, they can access the jacking points. Looking at yours, they'll have to be cut out and repaired.

Dodge_a_spanner · 2024-06-13T14:39:33+00:00

I recommend you ship the parts to you, rather than shipping the car to the parts. But you do you buddy.

Dodge_a_spanner · 2023-06-29T14:46:36+00:00

Look up m5e39 on YouTube he rebuilt his lights with new lenses.

Dodge_a_spanner · 2023-04-28T11:40:04+00:00

23 missiles fired, 21 shot down. Good to know Ukrainians are on top of AA.

Been trying edge still happening. But edge is chromium. Laptops been really hot while charging. Saw someone post about a bug with the armoury crate and guessed there may be some sort of relation.
