Hey Guys First day of a week long holiday from work so I thought I'd give the beemer a bit of TLC its been screaming out for! Took me long enough to do but the results speak for themselves!

yeah application for tickets closed now, another car club I'm member of got 30 tickets sent to us so were all going together ^_^ should be a good day

welcome to the club fella! get some piccies up!

Anybody going french poo world series this year? Free and fun event ^_^

Should not have to move moderator posts *awkward moment* lol

if the coolant has been changed / thermostat / thermostat housing im guessing sensor failure. Forgive my ignorance but is there another sensor along the way you have changed?

welcome to the forum, mine makes a similar kind of noise.... ran solidly for 12 months now. My bet is wearing on a pump somewhere.... I'll find out when it fails lol

crazy lady =S

driving around europe with some friends jumping in the cars and driving around a route we planned a few weeks back ^_^ CANT WAIT!

not on holiday yet, will be in a 2 weeks lol September been an expensive month!

Terrible tyres, overpriced, pointless gimmick, very noisy, and didn't last long at all

Wow what a transformation! looks so much much better clean! lol Love the stripes / wheels they suit really well although I previously didn't think that style of wheel would suit the mini they look awesome! really not much for the wipacs but they're a very marmite addition lol great work. My GF used to have the cooper S and that was the most fun little go cart to drive such a good laugh. She used to go mad when I came back from a run to the shops and her runflats were almost bald haha. Loved that little thing but had to get rid for a more fuel efficient car as she works quite a distance from home and a diesel was needed. this is the beast

hmmm from the earlier posts it does sound like the gearbox park sensor or a power fault somewhere down the line If the car does NOT turn over or anything when you turn the key then its nothing serious down the line. I'm guessing all the usual lights come up on the dash and the radio starts when you turn the key? If it is the parking sensor it won't show a fult when you diagnose it...because it is classed as user error if the car is out of park upon turnover and as far as i know it has no error code. I would check the battery terminals, give them a good wiggle to check for play or dodgy connections (take them off and check for battery fuzz too) after a while some batteries get fuzz under the terminals and don't connect properly extreme example below.... Other than that my money is on park gearbox sensor hope that helps

please correct me if i'm wrong but I think that the normal auto's have park,neutral, revers + go gears.... no tiptronic so that could possibally be the SMG box but not 100%

oh dear doesnt sound like an easy fix, best thing is to wedge a bigger sponge between the leather and the car seat?

I've never seen a problem like that before very confusing could be catching on something take a pic and post it when you find out I'd be interested into what caused this

Hey Guys After a week of moving house (nightmare of a job) lol I'm back online ^_^ Virgin Media internet connection up and running so I'll be back online a little more often ^_^ ....Just for nerdy bragging rights lol

welcome

think I speak for us all when i say *schwing* lol

only thing to do on something as vague as that is to get it diagnosed so you can find the root of the problem, let us know how you get on

be cheaper and easier to get a custom exhaust made up for around the £300-400 mark

hey fella, yeah its locked to Virgin, I can get it unlocked for an extra tenner if needs be
