  1. im a small dealer, rural based and my customer was doctor in local hospital, my bmw guy is based in donegal in southern ireland, he charged me €600 as he checked all wiring and all motors to ensure all areas covered, 3 days in total spent,€200 labour per day, hes an excellent bmw indy. my point is out of 30 warranties taken out with rac this year, only 3 claims have been made and all 3 were not enough to cover cost of repair. this is why ive asked for advice as to whether to do it myself
  2. lesson learned i think,my mechanic is £20 per hour
  3. heater blowers had stopped blowing out centre vents, nearly 3 days to strip and rebuild, 2 new motors that open flaps, parts less than £100 but labour very high. rac paid 5.6hrs for 3 days work
  4. i have to pay mechanic, he wont get involved, job cost me £608 to repair, rac paid me £392 think ill use my own pot from now on
  5. eg yesterday had major issue with bmx x5 heater system, my mechanic had estimated 8-10 hrs labour for job and rac autodata times 5.6hrs, seems to be labour shortfall every claim as i give my mechanical work out to local garage
