    MS treatment

    No experience of it but my old man has MS. At the moment he is doing nothing about it except for giving himself a better lifestyle. Gave up work at 53 and moved out to Cyprus to retire. He doesn't have masses of money but then cost of living out there is cheap and he has a pool and a local pub...

    parking on private property and the law

    I had something similar not too long back. A guy decided to park in my tenants space since my tenant doesn't drive. Yet he regularly had visitors that did so it was an issue. However for me it was slightly different as the car wasn't taxed or MOT'd so was clearly being left there continuously. I...

    Really pxxxxd off with fellow member

    If all thats been lost here is a little bit of someones time, then i would count myself lucky. Yes its frustrating, but the internet is riddled with scammers and time wasters, so it could have been a whole lot worse.

    Cheddar Gorge crash

    Glad to hear all was well, however to play devils advocate i probably would have left the people/car where it was until properly assessed in case of causing further injury. That said i do not know the circumstances, and indeed if the car was in a dangerous spot or there was fuel etc then its a...

    2003 Z4 - won't start - may be bad key

    What about testing the output from the fuel pump fuse/relay on startup rather than having to dismantle the car to get to the pump itself. Theoretically the if you are seeing power here then unless there is a break in the wire to the pump it should give you the same answer. I'm not auto...

    Replacement brake discs - Oem or aftermarket?

    Another vote for MTEC. Just put them on my E46 tourer. Its common for grooved/drilled/dimpled discs to make a bit more noise under braking and nothing to worry about.

    2003 Z4 - won't start - may be bad key

    Are you seeing 12v at the pump? How have you confirmed this to be working? The pump itself may be fine but if it doesn't get power then you wont get any fuel. Have you got/tried a spare key?

    Bitter sweet mortgage redemption

    Ha I also have a loan, but that is nearing the end of its term which will be an extra £400 a month. Not to mention i get to re-mortgage in a years time so can get off the 4.6% fixed rate i think we originally signed up to and get it somewhere closer to 1.5%, so that should see another £400 in my...

    Bitter sweet mortgage redemption

    Congrats on the house, and sorry to hear about the family member. Sadly i am about 25 years away from mortgage redemption, due to not long having gotten onto the property ladder. I'm sure that figure will come down, but its still a long way off. :(

    Kill Switch to fix Parasitic Drain

    As mentioned above how are you going to lock the car, plus how much of a ball ache is it going to be to re-set the radio and all other electrics every time you get in the car. Not to mention having to switch/unswitch the connection every time. Get it to a decent indy and see what they say.
