I come from very close to there. Parents were both from Hayes. Small world! Now we are all living in the delightful 'flatlands' where the majority of residents don't speak a word of English! Progress, eh?

That is of course the question. Nobody checked the battery before replacing it.

Until now I didn't see a totally dead battery in an E89. Nevertheless do I of course recommend to replace the battery each decade to avoid any unusual issues on the car as nobody will get it checked until there is an issue. Weird.

Much better would have been, if that car got the updated software on the EMF already in 2012-2014, when it got recalled. Finally, this whole story is a tale of a missing service action 10 years ago.

Great to hear a positive outcome.

You should now have enough money left over to fill the boot with some suitable libation before leaving Calais.

Well you've certainly had an unforgettable trip! Glad you are back home with your car now Steve.

Even if my guess was only 2nd best.

I hope your next trip goes a bit more smoothly!

Nah, a smooth trip would be so boring. Would you have read this thread if it was just a trip to Spain and back?
