  1. Yes its all clear as a White BMW 123d.
  2. Ive just checked on Dragon2000 and its a White 123d? Convertibob.
  3. I had the same thing last year, my salesman told a customer that a car was a euro 6... it wasn’t. Mind the customer found out it wasn’t within the week so we just refunded him and I sent the salesman on his day off to go and collect it (200 mile round trip).
  4. Ive just used the link... it worked a treat .... Thank you!
  5. Why thank you..... What about ..... V002921 .... Please
  6. Its time to get your boxing gloves on and fight this fooka! more information required.... Even the far end of a fart description will suffice.
  7. A wear and tear wheel bearing? Or a conrod bearing ? Or an alternator bearing?
  8. Fire paint stripper on them using a water pistol discreetly from a car/van? Phone him at all hours from a burner phone/phones asking tedious questions? Smash his windows?
  9. The timing chain will have too much slack in it. This in turn wears out/smashes the plastic guides... the little pieces of plastic then block the oil strainer.... which then puts the red light on the dashboard. seemingly some people can get them done at bmw under a brake recall? Might be worth phoning bmw back? cost wise it’s probably a £400 - £600 job. where are you located?
  10. We have had them all done by our local Volvo dealer, no fuss. There is a campaign for the EGR cooler. However they do clog up easily and Volvo will only pay for it once. If it’s a flow code they can be cleaned and refitted fine.
  11. I presume the moderator of the forum can pass on your contact details to HMRC
  12. Wow... part time..... If you can id get another job and keep up the good work.
  13. The rubber bung is under the battery tray. Unless that bung is blocked, water shouldn’t pool big enough to pour in via the pollen filter housing.
  14. Plenum chamber underneath the battery, there is a little rubber flange that clogs up. Remove said flange and throw in bin. If you have access to a ramp this can be done underneath by a young lad (watch him get drenched)
  15. Now now Justin..... Your Wrong..... As they reliably fail
  16. I’ve just been talking to a transporter driver that dropped a solo one I bought yesterday. He said that BCA had 32 10 car transporters parked up for 3 days this week with no work on!
  17. Can you not just chin him and bury him under an extension/patio your working on?
  18. The problem with the pieces of poop, that they are very rarely small easy to fix cheaply problems. We have one (Discovery 4) killing a ramp with a handbrake fault (self inflicted too)
  19. At the bottom of the invoice is states an RAC approval number? Has the customer bought a warranty?
  20. Crucial information missed out on original post. Which auction house? Id be speaking with the best Autolocksmith local to you.
  21. They stretch quite a bit (as most chains do) but the tensioner gets weak (fails) and then the chain starts slapping guides until they fail and then jump/snap. If they snap at low revs/speed it usually does rockers in, if it snaps at speed in an auto it destroys everything.
  22. I think a BMW specialist near us does them for about that. I throw a tensioner in them now for cold start noises. Caught early enough they are fine.
