Cheers bud, this car has been a pain to own since ive had it, with all the little jobs ive had to do and with full bmwsh which is a laugh

Well im now car less for a few days, as i have dropped the 320d off at Newhall Sheffield for the Clutch and DMF change which will hopefully sort out the noise and vibration when using the clutch. I havent used it for 2 weeks since i did the pads / discs and fluid and this morning i get two yellow warnings one on the brakes and a nice little yellow triangle which the book reckons its abs or dsc. So another bit of expense to come my way by the sound of things. So roll on later in the week and hopefully one fixed car. Wish i had brought from a dealer as how much i have had to spend on top, i could of got a good one.

Just been chatting to the guys over at Shinerama who said that they have open days with tution and discounts to a few car clubs and normally chuck a few bacon and sausage rolls in for good measure, so do you fancy this? If we can get an idea of numbers and the month, then i will try and arrange the day out. http://www.shinearama.co.uk Cheers Phil

Well air bag has been reset, with a little bit of pressing and guessing on my part and inpa lol

Welcome to the forum matey :)

Well just had to buy a new battery as after having 10 hours of charging it still struggled to turn the car over. Also took the seats out to vax the carpets and now the air bag light is illuminated :( Any one know how to use the cable and software that i purchased lol

Well been quoted £27 each for Sachs from ECP, and they have them in stock and only 12 miles away. Shame you are the other side of the midlands matey

The car is supposed to have full bmw service history, but since i have started doing a few jobs and find things missing and broken, im starting to think,wether the service book is pukka or its just slap hazard working from BMW as its an old car. Well today i done the front and rear discs and pads, broke two sockets on the caliper carriers and that was on the first one, so out came the heat gun to ease it a bit. The rest of them went ok, but when doing the last one on the rear, i find a broken coil spring. So it will be another day in the cold tomorrow after i go and purchase a pair and then fit them. So the question what else is likely to be broken or need replacing next?? Winning answer will get ???? The broken bit i take off lol :)

I havent had my 320d long and been doing little jobs on it like the swirl blanks and crankcase filter, but this noise may of been there before but i havent noticed it lol. Its when you switch the ignition on, there appears to be something running / humming for about 20 ish seconds then stops, it happens everytime i switch the ignition on. Air con / fan is off. Could it be the fuel pump? Any ideas or do i need to make sure the radio is on lol :) Thanks
