    SHOCK ABSORBERS

    I disagree. They don't deteriorate if they are not being used. BMW don't specify a time interval for them to be changed.

    SHOCK ABSORBERS

    Do you mean new ones? It'll already have them fitted and at the mileage they don't need changing. What tyres do you have?

    Can the 107s take standard tyres?

    You might be thinking of the very old Dunlop Denovo tyre and wheel combination.

    What Causes a New Spark Plug to Fail

    More likely to be a coil pack than the plug - I've never known a plug to fail in my fifty years of tinkering with cars. Oil contamination or impact damage yes, but failing on its own - no.

    MSport Springs

    I used the wrong rear springs simply because that's all that was available quickly used when i needed them for its MOT. I have no plans to change them.

    Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover?

    If they didn't have the income from doing MOT's the council tax rise would be even higher.
