    BMW E39 520i SE Auto - won't go into Drive

    You were right, it was a problem with the gear stick being restricted from moving down. I didn't see any manual override lever, but I did notice that there was a bit of metal rod that when moved down into drive should fall into a chalice to hold it in place, well over the years the mechanisms...

    BMW E39 520i SE Auto - won't go into Drive

    So I got back to my car Saturday evening got in straight into drive and all was well. Then I get back in this Sunday morning for work and it just wouldn't go into drive so I ended up having to use our other car in the end.

    BMW E39 520i SE Auto - won't go into Drive

    I've not repositioned the steering wheel at all, I've tried pumping the break several times I case the car thinks I've not got my foot on it, maybe a loose connection somewhere? In terms of gears and clutch when it's driving it's very smooth and no problems.

    Amsterdam Stag Do Accomodation

    In their own hotel details they describe their own bathrooms as 'questionable', but do usually work! And that's not a disgruntled review, that's the management!

    Retirement income

    I really don't understand why more people don't take a keen interest in their retirement income earlier on in life. I don't want to keep grafting til I'm 68 for the reward of living on £8,000 per year! Even if it means working extra hours or even two jobs while you're young to pay for it, it's...
