That would be good feels along time since we had one

Also an ABS Sensor. While removing the original, the bolt sheared. I ended up having to drill it out and use helicoil, hence the strip down

I have always managed to remove these screws by removing the hub an d accessing the rear of the bolt hole. This gives you a “real” centre to drill out the broken screw, then you can re tap the thread. Even if there is a broken drill bit in there.

Hi Tony,
that's what I did, drilled out from the rear. As you say, it gives you a much better centering.

... Even if there is a broken drill bit in there...

I wonder who had that problem

Got my self the plastic seat bushes/spacers and some leather die from furniture clinic
Fitted the bushes to today took a little bit long than I though it would and ran into the first half off the FA cup
The leather die is very good and has made the seats look better

Less bought ..more ‘acquired’
Stopped in at my local dealer today so they could tell me all the parts they don't have in stock ..literally the nearest radiator cap for an M54 engine was in Bristol! (I am in Portsmouth). Anyway, I was in there 2 mins and it’s the only place I parked..when I got home I noticed this ! That wasn’t there yesterday
Bloody new BMW owners !

Have you asked if they have cctv? Possible chance of identifying the culprit.

 

[AntStark]

Probably.. but not worth the hassle. They will say parked at owners risk anyway. I’ll just get my tame dent man on it.

 

[Oddly Godly]

Two microfiber cloths. I was going to get them with the M logo but I wasn't sure I would be able to polish the car that fast. Although these are too nice to get polish on so they will only be used inside the car.

Ant. Do you want me to get it and I’ll post to you?

That’s very kind of you Paul, thanks. I ordered one on t’interweb in the end. On the upside the magic dent man will be here at 10:30 tomorrow.

 

[AntStark]

Dent man been and done

 

[Zephyr]

Great job. But wheels need a good treatment with "Magma".

 

[AntStark]

It needs a clean for sure ... that’s what happens when you use it.

 

[Althulas]

Rear roof seal had some dry rot

@Mazza to the rescue

Soon installed

 

[the Nefyn cat]

"Bognor Motoren Werke"? There may be some gentlemen popping by to "have a word". A far more vindictive off-shoot of the ///M police.

Just sayin'.

 

[Duncodin]

Maybe "Bognorische Motoren Werke" would get him a quicker visit from the "Mãnner in Lederhosen"

 

[the Nefyn cat]

Don't know what they carry in the violin cases. Don't think I want to know, either.
