mr metatarsal

you had me going for a moment, then I read the full post. Just wish I had a bit more time to do all those little jobs on the car that need doing. It's really going downhill, when I got it it had only done 43,000 miles,considering I never spend any money on it, she's a beauty.

I'll do it, just detour up to Sth Yorkcestershire, drop it off and take the Pearl to Brummy... Oh bugger, I'm working tomoz, sorry Jim :blink:

you're all heart mate, just wait till you need help scraping the barnacles off the bottom of the pearl.

I managed to stick to 70 for a short period yesterday. The car was showing 34 mpg, the only trouble is I can't stick to 70 for long. The 328 has done 134,000 miles, never gets serviced, rarely gets an oil change and is generally abused by my right foot. Despite all this it will still go off the clock and accelerates like a cruise missile. What a !Removed! car,who said BMW's are expensive to maintain?

recycled oil, shitI never realised such a thing existed. Is that what most of those fasting types of giving us? If so think I will have to get under the car and give it a go myself. At least that way I know what I'm getting.

National tyres say they can do me a oil and filter change for 65 quid, using Castrol fully synthetic. One thing that worries me about these boys, that is the fast fit type operations, are they using the oil they claim to be. I had an oil filter done at Kwik-Fit not very long ago and ever since the yellow warning light comes on for a few seconds even though there's plenty of oil in the car. Any comments?

Please feel free to discuss these matters.

Thats what brought me here, looking for the information I need to maintain my car!

The best resource I've found is this site;

But my major downfall is the electronics!

outstanding site,now wheres the one for da E46?

big wheels love them, eat my dust suckers. :D

the mini or actual marmite?.the mini is a mini.a mini is a womans car or a just passed your test car :D :P .....marmite however is kin horrible :blink:

you are absolutely 100% spot on

don't forget to factor in those extra trips to the dentist to have your fillings replaced. Not to mention blood on the seat when your piles burst.

wish you lot were as helpful when I have a problem. Lol!

my batteries just packed up, luckily it was a three-year guarantee. Getting the new one in the morning.

Loving your comments lads, I'm off to Birmingham airport on Saturday, should be there about lunchtime. Anybody fancy doing me a quick oil change whilst I'm in the area?

some people have no imagination

just getting the pushbike out of the shed.

you have tax!thought you was a pirate

mate,nothing towing a big load does an acceptable mpg.I ran a land rover to Greece n back(twice) and it was lucky to see low twenties even at the slug like pace a defender travels at. I reckon the x5 wont give you any more than the lexy.

ave 23 mpg,well the pedal goes all the way to the floor

seem like everyones in bed

mine likes a drink when hammered,if just nippin around it sips it.

i think its sexy,wait till its full of pre pubescent prom nighters eh

jeez,i just stripped me sunroof and its motor,and im not to hot with mech type things.surely a grill and reach in aint too hard.

so is my local lapdancing bar but i wouldnt want anyone to know i go there

Off road ability may be compromised but at least you can have a drink while waiting for a tow

not much sign of the Pluckey brit spirit of adventure here lads!If Dabsy gets that pay rise he says he may risk a tootle over to Blackpool to feed the Donkeys

Why change if its a daily grunt and still doing the biz.Save yer cash the economy wont restart till some time after 2020,you may need it once rationing starts
