My plan was to trade in my E89 early next year. With that in mind for the last 6 months I've been keeping an eye on the markets. What became apparent very quickly was how few ticked the boxes without a compromise on colour, mileage or spec. etc. Add to that the 2 or 3 that did come up were a...

I'm considering changing my car in the not too distant future, going from an E89 to a G29 As such I've been keeping an eye on what's about, and getting a feel for specs, prices etc In the past, on principle I wouldn't dream of paying an 'admin fee', however despite a whooping £300 fee I've...

Well you guys were right. My drain and reseal of the left hand rear light cluster last summer didn't last :cry: I noticed the other week that it had water in it again, albeit it was still working ok. So I drilled a very small hole in the side at the bottom corner and it drained all the water...

For about a week I’ve been unable to access the forum from my PC My antivirus software (Malwarebytes) is blocking the site as ‘It’s compromised’ and ‘the site can’t provide a secure connection’. Anyone else had or seen this? The pop ups says I can unblock and manage by exception. However I was...

A few weeks ago I started getting spurious warning lights. First was 'bulb out' with fast clicking on LH indicator. Got out checked, all fine. Started up again, no issues. Then occasionally it would come on again and then work fine on re-start (or even the next junction) Then I got a PDC...

I thought I'd post this in case anyone else was thinking of tackling wheel refurbs themselves. Over the years I'd touched up the odd nick/scuff using Titanium silver body paint. I'd read that a lot of garages use it instead of Decor silver or Reflex silver as it was much cheaper and almost...

My Niece, who is learning to drive, has proudly just bought her first car, a Corsa Bringing it round to show me I noticed one of the front tyres was under inflated. On checking the tyre sizes/pressures against the values in the handbook it would appear it has the wrong tyres on it all round. It...

Please could any of you wise ones help me with a yellow dash warning symbol On a road trip, so no handbook and no joy with a quick Google Just had a gear change type symbol, like 1st to 4th, with an arrow head where the 4 would be There was also a capital ‘R’ in the middle. At the time I was in...

Following on from the Top Gear episode that stirred sooo much emotion got me thinking of a few my Dad had First one I can remember was a timber framed Moggy traveller - I spent miles and miles stood on the transmission tunnel looking out between the front seats :cry: Progressed to a 2-tone...

I've just noticed I've no power to either of my auxiliary sockets (ash-tray and arm rest) A search on here seems to point to fuse No.8 and a PITA job to get to it After reading some of the threads I want to make sure I'm tackling the right area/panel Under the glove box in the LH foot-well...

Just watched this afternoons F1 race Wow, how the hell did Grosjean survive that accident? :o That was as bad as I've seen in along time.

A month ago on a Blood Bike run I was hit at a junction by a young lad in a car that had just passed his test :( He turned across my path. Unsurprisingly the bike is a total loss. I'm looking around for a replacement and I've emailed several traders about bikes they have for sale. To date none...

Your help and advice appreciated My son has an car on a PCP agreement. (a very nice 3.0L Audi A5) When he bought the car he was mid term on his car insurance and just changed the details over. Now at renewal, unsurprisingly it has gone up considerably. However on looking on comparison sites...

Only one question Why would you? Please forgive the poor pic, screen grab and small image crop from dash cam

My mate has a 2011 E89, 2.0L with 64k on the clock. A couple of weeks or so a go the Engine performance light came on (half black, half yellow) I've had my basic code reader on it and it came up with P0015 - Camshaft Position B – Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 1) I also couldn't delete the code...

A mate has had a few intermittent issues recently with his roof. It goes down fine. However on closing the roof completes its cycle except for the windows going back up At this stage he gets the dreaded 'Bong' and a red warning on the dash. Bringing the windows up via the door switch operates...

Another 66 player gone :( RIP 'Our Jacky'

Like myself, a mate had an issue with the roof not opening/closing properly and a constant flashing red light. A local garage stated it needed the sensors re-aligned and claimed 'fixed' A week or so later the fault returned, next they said it needed a new command module My mate took it to the...

Several months ago I got the dreaded bong, red light flash on the 'Roof down' button and a red window symbol on the dash display It only lasted a few seconds. 1 bong Interestingly it only occurred on 2 local up hill tight (ish) left-hand bends when taken at normal speed. (30 & 40 mph zones) It...
