Anxiety Day approaching..........

Just had mine MOT'd today. Dropped car off at 09:30 and started checking Gov website at 10:15 to see if all was OK. Passed with flying colours, no advisories so I can relax for another year :)

dedicated towbar wiring

Simon, I know this doesn't solve your problem, but do you really need the fridge to work while towing? None of my BMW's have had the wiring for the fridge and I have learned to manage without it. The fridge in the caravan needs to be cold before setting off and the car will only try to maintain the ...

Let's Talk Formula 1

Thought they would only give him a one year deal, but I suppose it depends on what Max does.
Think Red Bull might struggle in Canada this weekend.

Where is everybody?

I still look in a few times a day, but don't really have any problems with my F16 that I need to ask about. Most things have been discusses previously on the forun so a quick search usually helps me. The car is going in for a recall to get the drivers air bag replaced and they said they would check ...

Any church mice around?

Oh dear, not quite the DIY job I thought :( Might have to try disolving the gunk in the tank, possibly with white vinegar?

Any church mice around?

I need to book my car in for the drivers airbag to be replaced after receiving the recall letter. My washers are also poor so the filter on the washer bottle will need de-gunking. I was hoping to do this myself when the weather gets a bit warmer. Did my sons 3 series washer filter a couple of years ...

First real fault problem in 5 years!

Had the same messages some time ago and it was after hitting a big pot hole. Moved the wires on the sensors near the fromt wheels from the ABS, pad wear sensors and faults cleared.
