  1. Niceeeeee car!!!!!! hello and welcome :D
  2. its rubbish!!!! you are better off putting a quality fuel in like shell v power it does the same job and improves your performance :D
  3. Hiya, 600 miles doesnt sound too bad tbh you should keep it serviced regularly tho and that should keep it ticking over nicely, Bmws dont have too many common faults but keep your eye on the bushes front and rear they tend to need replacing regularly.
  4. hiya, id get it checked but my airbag light is permanently on, ive had it done twice it was a tensioner fault but its still back on, ive given up now as its apparently a common fault. :angry:
  5. lol funny that miraculous recovery :D take care Gav dont go and wrap her up on the snow!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. I like your family aleady steve lol :D
  7. I service my own car but then i work for a company with a service centre and can get my parts at trade price which helps, Either of those oils will do i tend to use shell oil its one of the best. Your local motor factor is your best bet, halfords are ok but tend to be pricey tbh
  8. the snow has hit here with a vengeance, the day before yesterday i went into an involuntary drift into an island, totalled my alloy but shes made of tuff stuff and the rest of her survived. Ive just driven from bridgenorth to welshpool a mere 40 miles its taken 2 hours with the traction control off and the back end goin out 4 times!!!!!!! ROLL ON THE SUMMER

  20. Does anyone else have the same problem as me? Ive done several hundred miles of motorway driving over the last couple of weeks travelling from the midlands to wales and am becoming increasingly amused by the amount of drivers who just want to "race" me lol. Im getting tired of putting saxos and corsas in their place now :lol:
