    No way would i be having that.

    That,s a serious ENO (Error and Omission) I would be after some compo for that. Mention the magical Financial Ombudsman Service.

    Partly my fault also however for not proof reading the documents they sent through. I have sent an email of complaint though.

    Our broker has made a mistake an had us down as a sole trader even though we have been a Ltd company for years so we had to start again on zero bonus this year and I think we are circa 6k:blink:

    Thats for our 2 units, yard, 2 transporters, two staff for work use, myself and my partner for work and sdp and my brother for work and sdp.

    Hoping it goes down a bit next year!

    Is it a cushion off JOB ?

    Have been doing a bit of googling and I came to the same conclusion.

    To do the job properly to fit the occupancy sensor it is seat out, cloth or leather off it and replace Matt, proper pita job, done it once don’t fancy doing it again, much easier to get a plug in emulator from eBay which just plugs in under the seat ;)

    There is a for sale section is there not? Just buy a shite spec one thought and put all the stuff in.

    weve done decent with a few s3/rs3 ‘s that we’ve broken for spares before, just bought a poverty spec car and made cracking replicas.

    Should have listened to my own advice about sticking to what i know.

    BMW collected yesterday:

    Drivers door dosent lock.

    Seat belt dosent recognize its plugged in

    Airbag light comes on.

    and the car is all over the place under full throttle.

    Other than that its a nice car and a lot of fun to drive.

     

     

    A seat Matt emulator off eBay is what you need more than likely!

    With the gearbox mounts it’s hard to check them visually but there buttons to buy I think about £40, so probably worth changing it as precaution if it feels like. Mount, are the rest of the engine mounts oil filled? I know they are on my c class so if they are fucked you should be able to see visual leaks from them?

    Why have your garage diagnoses a chain? What have they found to indicate that? Is there a camshaft/crankshaft correlation fault stored? Have they stripped the engine to allow visual inspection of the chain? Or have they checked the parameters on diagnostic of camshaft position?

    How much are you willing to spend? We have about 5/6 scan tools and no one is perfect at everything. Certain ones are better at certain cars etc. 
     

    My most commonly used one is an Autel Maxi system. It was circa £1500 but you can get imported ones on eBay for about £700 though I couldn’t tell you if they’re the same or not.

    I think it makes the stock look slightly more special and separates us from the gumtree driveway dealers. We got our local sign maker to do them for us and we just use black elastic bands to attach them over the originals for the photos
