Hi and welcome. :thumbsup:

Must feel like a rocket after a 1.2 Corsa. :lol:

To post a photo just scroll down from where you type the message and you'll see an "Add Files" tab. If you click on that you can browse your photos to find the one you want. Hope to see your car soon!

Haha yeah it sure does!! I tried the add files button but just put me straight on to the camera on my phone and would not let me pick from my album :headbang: I will take fresh photo's tomorrow hopefully in the sunshine.

Welcome to the forum. I'd give the valve cap a tickle with some pliers while holding the valve with a second pair.

+1 - I had the same problem on a 1 Series.

Sorry about the photo OP - I never post from my phone as I save the photos onto my PC. :roll:

Welcome JamboZ4 :thumbsup:

I am a new forum member myself, also from Glasgow.

When I press the add files button on my phone I get a 'choose an action' button. Then press on 'Files'. Then find wherever the image/s are stored, mine are within: Gallery. I then have to compress my images as they are too large. This is on an Android, perhaps it may be different on IOS.
