Hmmm cannot seem to locate this vital bit of info!
Apparently the parking guard mount seems to have low voltage protection, but cannot seem to find any.
Prefer the power pack idea though as that way I know my car will always start!
Assume something like this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/EasyAcc-Ultra-Slim-External-Protable-Smartphones/dp/B00Q2G4T4E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1431848914&sr=8-3&keywords=powerbank+5000mah
Thanks
Not sure if plans have fallen over, but following a frustrating £99 expenditure in the dealer, my dash rattle behind the vents remains - apparently both snr tech & tech tested the car & were happy. Can only assume it was the world's smoothest road, as was blatantly there within 5 mins of leaving the dealer 
Will be seeing what their suggested next steps are, but cannot believe they would expect me to pay for a lack of fix?!
Priorities now would be Intravee install & centre vent removal and some help sticking everything with felt....from those who have found it easy to remove as for the life of me I can't do it.
I can learn to drive round the delay valve & the camera is a luxury (plus I'm now £99 worse off for no fix at the dealer)
Annoyingly there now also seems to be a light clunk from plastics on the passenger side, which is a new one. Tried the glovebox full, empty, open and this doesn't affect it. Think it's slightly to the left and lower of the box, but tricky to locate when driving
Frustrating day all in all :thumbsdown:

Dropped by the office & the magical berocca cupboard was empty - will grab your addresses and forward on.
PVR, I'm sure I can the fully open operation with a large saw, but frankly like the dash how it looks from the factory
Although they can keep their OEM rattles :evil: I'd be quite sure our combined rattle knowledge & care with adhesive felt vs the dealer will have it fixed...even if the stick it everywhere approach is required.
'Might' have found the noise below the glovebox that seemed to make a noise around corners.....
.....my first aid box wasn't actually connected to the seat frame Hoping this solves it as feel like I could do with some luck today.
Dealer also adjusted the door catch as driver's door was sticking out slightly. Wind noise remains though, so will be trying the bottom adjustment bolt to move the guide rail during the week to see if it improves before booking it in somewhere again for the adjustment where you remove the doorhandle.
Be good if it still happens, but if it needs to be another time, then not a problem. You could practice on Bing's clutch to refresh your memory before doing mine :lol:

Wish I had a garage large enough to get a car in! After fridge, freezer & dryer there isn't room, so have filled the rest of it with BBQs & smokers
When it was empty, the S2000 just about got in, but I still had to drop the roof to get out the car :thumbsdown: And less of the old
once I get a dateless plate it will look young again. Apart from people who know their cars.And to all of you who posted about roundabouts while I was typing
Thought this was a safe place to be...Didn't like leaving the car with BMW for their road test & wished I had a cam installed to review how they drove it - checking Z4M roundabout videos for the next few weeks to be sure.If you did fit a cam, you could then upload them without me even knowing until I came across the post on the forum, oh the fun you could have :|
Only just caught up on that post with Instagram action, disagree with where it was done but he certainly can drive. Although the video just sitting spinning the wheels seemed a little Saxo brigade to me, or does it require skill??

Wanna meet in TW for a drive over Steve ?
Indeed sir
Right then, let's sort that out through the week. I don't know TW so we need a place to meet. I'll work the route to PVR's out on a map and then probably promptly get lost
mj2k - yep, he's got some skills. But if it's been ragged within an inch of its life from cold every time he's driven it then it may not be the best investment...
