Hi all, odd thing today, went out in the E85 this afternoon with the wife for a coffee with a view. On returning to the car her door wouldn’t open from the outside, I opened it from inside. Got home and it was fine again, tried it several times, no problem. Any ideas please, thank you all in...

Went to Teignmouth today to sit on the beach with our coffee and cake, the beach and the prom cordoned off due to an old WW2 bomb. So old guy with a metal detector had found it. :) Still had a nice drive in the sun :D :thumbsup:

Last year had a go at sorting the sticky steering on my e85. It’s been fine until the last 2 days of hot weather 18 to19 c. When I “fixed” it, someone previously had tried the grease nipple idea, someone else had moved the “washer?” 5mm. I moved it another 5mm. Shall I move it another 5mm or try...

Hi all, I need some oil to top up my wife's 2008 ford focus, she went to buy some part synthetic in Halfords and was told 'We don't sell it anymore we only have fully synthetic, it will be okay for your car'. Is this true because I don't trust these stores anymore? Cheers, Mike.

Hi everyone, looking for a replacement convertible for my wife’s car. At the moment she has an old Ford focus CC, we have kept this car for around 8 years as it has a massive boot space for moving the kids stuff all over Britain. But the time has now arrived to get a newer car. So, it’s between...

Took him out for a Boxing Day drive to Teignmouth and a coffee and mince pie, lovely. :thumbsup:

Hi everyone one, Merry Christmas. Please see my photo, this has gone missing somehow so does anyone have a spare one knocking around please? Mike.

Had a great trip into Torquay tonight with my wife and daughter to see the Christmas light display put on by Torquay council. Thought it would be crap but I was happily surprised. It’s a walk of about 1.5 miles along the sea front from the clock tower to Torr Abbey and apart from parking it’s...

Hi everyone, My passenger window is making an odd sound and stops about half an inch from the top. It still does its little up and down thing on closing but sits too low. I guess it's because the wire has got frayed like my drivers side did a while ago. So does anyone on here have a pre face...

Hi everyone, I done it again :headbang: This time not so lucky, lost on the road somewhere between Newton Abbot and Paignton sea front. Engine light came on this morning and I new immediately what it was. So does anyone have one I can buy please and will it be okay to put a plastic bag over it...

Hi all, what's the best grease for lubricating the latches over my windscreen. It's a 2004 E85. Although it was closing and locking okay it seemed to stick and need a push to open. I have cleaned them with some WD40 silicon spray and this is now a lot better but it seems a bit dry and thought in...

Hi everyone, my E85 3rd brake light has broken and I've looked on Amazon for one and they are around £30 to £50 as opposed to oem Bmw that seem to be nearer to £100.00. Has anyone bought these and if so are they okay. The reviews moan about the gasket being awkward are the oem ones also? Thank...

Went for a drive and coffee on the moors this afternoon when rain stopped. Meet some new friends :thumbsup:

A previous owner on here called “grumpy owl” put this on mine :roll: .

Just booked in with Kwikfit for tomorrow to have 2 front Goodyear Eagle Asy 6 tyres. Good price at the moment if you buy 2. £196.30. They do a free alignment check but might give that a miss :wink: Been a noise coming from the front tyre for a while and getting louder and they are 8 years old...

Took a drive down to Kingswear yesterday and this huge boat was moored in the marina, apparently it belongs to one of the owners of Tottenham Hotspurs football club.
