The garage will most likely have a warranty on the car, so any problems will be sorted by that. A refund is more of a pain for them however, which is why they are resisting.

Put it this way. The last bill I had from the garage for my 04 was £788, and that was discounted substantially, but non of that was another major. It was just a few jobs where the parts and labour stacked up. These are super expensive cars to maintain so a warranty will at least give peace of mind ...

Used to run a detailing firm and cleaned wheels on cars from golfs to Ferrari, lambo etc and only ever used Bilberry or P21s. They were the only two products I knew wouldn't cause problems on mirrored finishes. Any other product is likely to be caustic which is good at cleaning, but very harsh.

Worth keeping in mind! Thanks.

What's the ride like when you ditch the bags Raj? Seems odd that BM would have them as standard unless there was a benefit. Unless they are cheaper? I would have thought not owing to extra components.

Thanks for the info

Ah mine was March 2004. Bummer!

Mine is 2004 and only appears to be analogue. How can you tell?

A friend of mine bought a brand new evo a few years back. He used to drive it like he nicked it, constantly. His dif went after something like 6 months and when he went in for warranty fix they said 'you've had this on a track.' They were adamant and said they had sufficient evidence to prove such ...

Hi and welcome to the forum
For that sort of budget you will be able to pick up a 2004 facelift 3.0d sport with 90/ 100 K I imagine.
Early pre facelift s are going for 5 K

No chance of getting a really good facelift diesel for £7k IMO. Having spent the last 6 months ...

I dunno about everyone else, but if my car gets nicked, I most certainly don't want it back! Who knows what they could have done with it, and problems that might rear their head later.

Once you start to get to the age that most of our cars are, gearboxes get glitchy. I've yet to own an automatic that wasn't anyway. Sometimes my x is smooth as silk and the lurch is only very very slight and other times it's quite noticeable. My A6 did exactly the same, and it didn't even have a ...

There is a way of leaving the headlights on for 30 secs without having to re-programme .

If , when you have turned off the ignition and removed the key , you 'flash' the headlight stalk before leaving ...
