For a second there, I wondered when BMW had put a 5 litre diesel in a 3 series. :o

Appropriate.

What bent wheel... I've never bent any wheels. Ever. Promise :o Nope, being sorted tomorrow, along with track rod ends and inners, which are both worn.

30 psi in both fronts, one was worn in the middle, the other on the outer edge. Tracking is being sorted tomorrow, and then I'll judge which tyres to go for next.

Car looks lovely, but like the others have said, you wouldn't catch me dead in those harnesses. Gaz coilovers are shite aswell I'm afraid, and the those top mounts won't be as solid as you think. ...but it does look very nice!

Ok... So I'm hoping my tracking is out by quite a lot. Possibly the most expensive set of tyres I've ever bought. This is just over 2000 miles and 2 months. No wonder they were bloody good in the dry! Any one else having similar wear rates?

Did some one say Gaz?

My car dropped down onto three cylinders, plugged it in, replaced spark plugs and injector 3, job done. Don't remember taking the head off though?

Sandpaper. But seriously, megs clay always worked with mine.

Clay bar.

Thats Chips old car

£75? Best £250 I spent!

This is why I purchased an impact wrench.

Wheel whores, really? Saw a bog standard mini with the same sticker. I shook my head at that one as well.

I've stuck a pair on the front of mine, normally I'd go for paradas because of the price. Miles better in the wet, feel a lot more confident tackling standing water. Equally as good in the dry, if not better than paradas. I'll be using them from now on.

The chances of you finding another gearbox in the scrap yard are slim. Just have the box out and send it on a pallet to Agency.

Hmmm... not great are they. I'll give you £150 for them ​please?

20 grand clio is looking more and more like a bad investment.

Agency transmissions were fantastic with my gearbox. Took it down to them on the monday morning, told it'd be ready wednesday morning, collected Tuesday afternoon.

How do they know it's the gearbox and not the crank seal, or sump gasket? Something like the sump gasket is a really cheap fix.

Not quite, I did have to take it back off to get the TDC sensor out though...

LOL this is the same guy who took out his gearbox and reassembled it in a week. Learnt a bit in 18 months ;)

Yeah.... don't leave in the old cups.

Theres a lot of holy people in here, who haven't ever done any worse?

Another local, I very nearly bought an S4 a couple of weeks ago. Wimped out last minute.

I have no idea what you have just said Simon. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

How did you think insurance premiums were calculated? Always, always secure a quote before buying the car.

That sounds a hell of a lot like Renault. Just go to a motor factors and ask for track rod ends and your reg plate. You won't pay stupid prices, and the chances are they'll be the same part used on all the Renault range.
