Hi All,

Just been told small turbo has gone and mechanic can send it away to be refurbished and depending on work needed it will be between £250-£475 OUCH!..Would you recommend getting larger turbo looked at as well, myself and mechanic are undecided.  I do have a warranty with RAC but they want to send me to a chain (tyre fitting) garage and I just don't trust them!

Morning Steve

The small turbo is working hard from low revs the bigger one comes on song mid range so while it is spinning it isnt under load. My logic says if your in there get both checked and refurbed, you will curse if you do one and in a couple of months !!!

Also make sure the intercooler is clean inside (no oil)

      To runflat or not to runflat.

      Now that the tailgate thing is sorted can I please ask for opinions on runflats. My X340i is running Bridgestones all round and they're probably 1000 miles from needing replacement. I've always used runflats on numerous cars that I have run but I'm seriously considering going to non runflats when the change is needed. My insurers (LV) don't seem to have any issues following a phone call but I reckon that something in writing would be good. What opinions are there out there?

      My son is getting creative

      Well…. All the bits are swapped over, so I now have a pile of scratched panels on the driveway. amazing how the wiring looms are all different colours between cars of the same models! i managed to get all lights and wipers working but for some bizarre reason, pressing the unlock button on the top bootlid just illuminates 1 interior light and doesn’t operate the lock! lol….. anyone got a wiring diagram? send the list over Dave, I’m sure I’ll find something I need or don’t need but will find a use for! Haha. … and I still can’t fathom the reversing sensors !

      Copy Ignition Key?

      Hi Dave, thanks for that, but I see Windows 7 is no longer available to download. Do you know of anywhere I might find it?
