@naffoff looking at the photo, the heat shrink joint is almost 2yrs out of date? hmmm

Nice find! - Was it local?

That's amazing, well played sir! I've owned my E91 330D LCI for 18 months now... Cannot see me changing it anytime soon.

Will be following this.... I want to tidy up a few items on my E91, but my knowledge is poor! All hail E90_Dave :)

So much car for the money!
