  1. wtf is that yor parrot your on about capn?
  2. getting a hideous rattle from under the bonnet, must be something to do with the air conditioning is when I press the snowflake the rattle stops. It was a little rattle at first, but has become louder and more urgent sounding. Now it's so bad I don't even run the air conditioning. Any ideas, I suspect it's a compressor. All help appreciated
  3. good clean fun matey,something for everyone on there.
  4. Everythings starting to fail on mine.But the wishbones,droplinks etc are a constant source of annoyance.
  5. What do you define as an improvment? Whats the cost?
  6. thanks everybody, all that remains now is to shake off that dodgy looking character who smells of fish and could do with a decent haircut
  7. does anybody know of a car club BMW or otherwise in the Sussex and Kent borders area, where an aspiring spanner monkey might be able to learn the basics of maintaining his BMW. I quite like doing the odd jobs on the car, but feel that supervision by a responsible adult might be a good thing. I seem to remember in the good old days car clubs were not unknown. Like-minded members would get together and help each other out with their motoring conundrums. This not only saves you a bit of money but makes for an enjoyable way to pass some time. Would appreciate any input that you may have thanks in advance.
  8. paying £290 with Asda, they sell dodgy food

  15. here's one for the captain, is it possible for the sunroof motor to seize up? I have stripped my sunroof, no problems inside, dropped the motor out and pressed the button, no sign of life. When I try and crank it with the manual handle they provide I can't move it, no amount of effort will make it turn either way. Is it possible for the motor to be burned out and seized? Thanks for any help
