I reckon I could now get the dash out completely in about an hour and a half tops. Only took an hour to put it all back together again. To be honest the exhaust took longer but that was due to removing the rusty studs !
What have you done to your car today?

Interesting - I’ve just bought one that looks exactly the same! Perhaps the seller had two and used the same photo. We wil see!
Mine turned up today, so seller is legit I assume
Fitted my M Performance gearknob. What a difference !

Very little. Looked at it longingly, wishing the weather was better and the daylight hours longer. Started it up and let it run up to temperature. Switched off and locked the garage up again. 
The car is not SORNed, but I don’t wish to take it out when the roads are wet and/or salty, so opportunities for a nice drive are few and far between this time of year.

I really wish I knew why when you do a post from an iPhone it loads the photos upside down even though on my phone they are the right way up ! LOL :lol:Phoenixboy said:
Drove it around the local suburbs trying to make sure I can reproduce the clunking noises when I take the mechanic out in it tomorrow. Seems to be more noticeable once it's warmed up but that could just be my imagination.
I don't know where our spring has gone - nearly 3 weeks of rain or 100% overcast :thumbsdown: . Exception was last Saturday so at least it was the weekend :roll: .

Cheers, me too. I'm not letting it detract from the 'new toy' feeling too much.Smartbear said:enzed4 said:
Hopefully it’s diagnosed & sorted soon and you can get on with enjoying the car

Maybe it's just me, but I kind of like have a small list of things to do to keep myself (or my wallet) busy. As long as they're not major, or too expensive.
Once the car's sorted, I'll have to look at whether anyone in town can do decent paint correction, as it looks like my Zed was parked a bit close to Fukushima after the reactor crapped itself, as there seems to be something like acid rain on the paintwork. I've tried some Megs UC but I think it needs another level of cut to smooth it out.
All just cosmetic stuff and it still looks good, but I want it to look even better 8)
(Seriously, it could have actually come from Fukushima and I'd never know. Anyone got a geiger counter I can borrow? :lol: )

You dont need a Geiger counter, just see if it glows in the dark!

I have generally found that 99% of the time BMW themselves are considerably cheaper than eBay and other places online. I've actually even found them to be cheaper than buying a second hand part from a breakers on occasion!
After noticing my drivers side roof drain wasn't doing what it should yesterday, I've cleaned them both this morning. I last did them back in June so not that long ago. Both bungs removed first and they were completely clean so a quick blast with an airline revealed my drivers side one was completely blocked by a helicopter seed and some leaf bits half way down the drain tube! That's a new one, I've have had the bungs filthy or the drain holes at the top completely crusted over with mud/debris before, but never had a blockage mid way down the drainpipe.
well its more of an if than a what :?
do I stand out there in the rain washing my car :lol:
