Hey guys and girls

Please remember the cut off to let know who will be comming through for a braai/potjie, and if it is for Saturday or Sunday. We need numbers and dates to confirm with Uber as he is supplying the venue :thumbsup:.

Little one permitting, myself and Chantel confirmed

Will have to get a babysitting aunt somewhere, they are in short supply at the moment.

Out of interest, why did the box not work on the 7 ?

I assume its the standard 5HP30 ?

Hi Leonard

The problem was that Clutchplate's car is a facelift 99 model and my 7 Series is a pre-faclift 98 model. The gearbox place that I questioned said that the earlier 96-98 model years have 3 connections on the box whereas the 99+ model years have 2. That is why there is a different part number on realoem.com.

Basically the same box (5HP24), just a different way of connecting it to the car. I am sure something could have been hacked, but I was on a tight schedule and needs the car ASAP...

Yea, stuff like that always happens.

When I hit main bearings on the scoobie some years back, I bought a japan import motor, they were identical except for the cabling for coil packs and some other things, so I ended up just using the block and kept my old heads and things.

on my E34 there are two ports right underneath the box on a mounting plate towards the back, I wonder if that is for diagnostics by ZF ? Clutchy's had it too

Uber, Kobus...what would be the final plans on this? It is past the cutoff time :)

Are we getting together this Sunday or looking at another date, maybe after Christmas?

I think we must keep it for this Sunday at Uber's place. We can do a potjie and braai. Uber will also post something. I'm just not sure about the time.We said that I can make a potjie, and the once coming late or just rocking up, must bring meat for braai. Uber will climb on in a little while with the final arrangemenst.

Alrighty then.

It will be this Sunday 20th at my place, 3:30-4:00pm.

Kobus will make a potjie. We need to know who is coming so we can cater.

LZ - Do you mind making us a huge greek or french salad? or bimmerman and nooka if you guys can.

We will supply some rice as well as some fruit and stuff for pudding.

Zee list as it stands now:

1. Uber
2. Kobus + Estelle
3. Bimmerman + Nooka
5. Muney
6. Leonard + Chantel
7. Clutchplate

Howzit Guys...

Sorry, but we will have to be scratched off the list :(
My parents are coming around to Nooka and myself's house to help us move in at 5PM on Sunday. Cant really re-schedule as there is so much lying around the house at the moment (been moving stuff the last couple of days) we need all the help we can get...

First meet of the New Year though we are there!

Only way you get off the hook, is if we are invited to the "dak nat maak"/ house warming :thumbsup:.

LOL

Did not realise how much there is to actually move in!!! I think when we finally finished getting everything in the house at about 11:30 lastnight it hit me that this weekend is unfortunately going to be spent in the house!

Was really looking forward to meeting you...a fellow 7 driver aswell :thumbsup:

We must organise something early next year...maybe another breakfast meet...
