Hello all, just a quick note to introduce myself, I am Alan (Aldo to my mates) 52 and live in the frozen backwater called Ashington, not to far from Newcastle. I have a rather nice 2000 2.0l Z3. I bought it last December from a really nice lady who owned a restaurant in York, she has acquired a second restaurant on the Yorkshire moors and needed something that could handle the roads, weather etc. she only owned the car a year or so.
The car began life in Glasgow, it seems it had the same owner for around 12 years, all I can say is they must have really appreciated the car, the VOSA history shows at 12 years the car had only done 62k.
It seems misfortune struck around about this point, the car was involved in a front end collision, I am satisfied the damage was the bonnet and front panel only, I can see both have been repaired to a good standard and there was no other damage, anyway, rather annoyingly the car has a Cat D marker.
In the two years since the accident the car has covered less than 3k, it looks and runs like a new car,I have had no problems with it at all apart from when left locked the hazard lights flash, this isn't all the time and I garage the car so am not to concerned (but any suggestions would be appreciated). Only other thing is I seen to get around 20-22 mpg! Is this normal? All the best to you all. Aldo

Something wrong I would say except if you have an extremely heavy right foot.... Mines a 2.8 and I get 28 to the Gallon 24 when on a Cruise usually thrashing it...
