***Official*** MM8 11th April (sponsored by the HSE)

I'll gladly clean mine if there's any chance of me making it! Dropping it off at 8am tomorrow. If it's a parts job, rather than a software one, I'm going to be so angry.

7/8 months of trouble-free motoring, then I take it to BMW for its Inspection II. A week later it requires a replacement airbag control unit. 4 days after it comes back from that, it develops this electrical problem with the gearbox. They tried to tell me they didn't cause the last one - that excuse isn't going to fly this time round.
 
reckon i should find an L and change the badge ? :D

with your driving this L will go down fine

My car is smoking oil quite a bit now on start up :( I've been told its the turbo seals weeping because of the cat back exhaust. Would it be worth trying a thicker oil? I currently have 0w40 in and I'm thinking about going to 5w40.

A free flowing exhaust will reduce back pressure and allow oil seals to weep, but I wouldn't expect it to happen on such a new car. Thicker oil may help slightly but you're looking at a turbo rebuild to cure it properly.
 
Feel for u princey. Never had one nicked, but then I never drive anything worth nicking....

I won't be along I'm afraid - I'll be playing Taxi for 4 to a family meal out do, somewhere near Chorley. (my car is the best out of 3 for taking 5 people)

Hopefully there'll be another North Yorks meet later on that I can get to - I'll even arrange the time/date myself if needs be!
 
Ouch :(

Is the main drive after the meal? There's a long and convoluted story involving my car's problems and my re-arranged weekend plans that mean I can probably arrive for about 1.30 when you're finishing the food.

Yes, you could probably meet us at the restaurant if its at 1-30.
 
OK, it'll be tight, but stick me down for an appearance at 1.30 or just after. I'll get someone like Tom's number who I've got on facebook and text with a better idea once I've set off.
 
Great - one of the cats has decided now is a good time to explode. I'll still be able to make it, but in... something else.
