To be honest, just washed wifey's car in the rain, wheeled it back into the car port to dry it and polish out a pigeon s**t mark and spent a pleasant hour or so listening to Mzz Cox. Plays stuff I recognise :D
Wright and Vine....wankshaft Vine especially are so far up their own overpaid BBC butt licking arses they’ve forgotten the audience is king, not them. :P
I'd rather listen to static for a couple of hours than that patronising prick. He asks a question then ignores the answer and asks the same question again. I can't work out if he's just a knob or dim as fcuk!

We had to take our new to us caravan up to the Wirral for repair yesterday. Not your average caravan, so it had to go to a guy who knows them. I do photos if anyone is interested :P
On the drive up and back down country, we listened to radio 2, starting with Ken Bruce and finishing with S Cox, mainly for travel news.
I stopped listening to R2 years ago and after suffering Vine and Wright yesterday, I realised why :thumbsdown: Sarah C is lovely and so down to earth.

Reading these posts who needs a TV for entertainment? :rofl:

I thought the OP's post was quite innocuous, and surely an invitation...........

Hey...so "premium warranty" is crap. When I get my car back, I'm calling and getting my money back. Dealer said the plastic antifreeze overflow container is leaking, and the thermostat housing is leaking. Warranty will not pay for any of this. They would pay for about $900 for the radio, but a new radio is like $1400(wow) I told them to forget the radio....

Expansion tanks are quite common to go, and easy DIY plenty of write ups on it as it's common. My thermostat was done just after i first purchased the car, didn't do it myself (have done other cars of mine) but there's plenty of how tos too.

I'm not surprised they wouldn't pay for wear & tear items on a 15 year old car - don't even think the BMW Insured warranty would cover that, and for a Z4M it was £1000 a year.
