I am showing it off to whoever possible at the moment so I didn't think you lot should get away with it either.

Any owners here? It wouldn't start tonight and I mean nothing, not even a click when you turn the key. I'm getting the breakdown people out tmro anyway but there was no power, not even to the headlights.

Nice motor ! Looks like the kind of thing would have considered around the time he bought the Merc.
Am no mechanic but the "Recent Battery" bit of the AutoTrader listing sounds ominous. Alternator ??

Thanks. Yes, I'm no mechanic but I've got a funny feeling it's the battery, it looks weird, all the connections are ok though. So, maybe it is the alternator even, I'll have to take the morning off work while they diagnose it 4 me.

Is supposed to be Andrew Eldridge?

Did he really buy it? I thought he got it from the record company ... ...

He did buy a Nissan Patrol, though ... ... how could he ... ...

I used to have a BMW 3 series compact. R reg, which would make it 1997 IIRC. The exhaust manifold cracked and rather than paying stupid money to have it replaced I sold the car.

I have a Citroen C1 these days which I've had for almost a year. It had 4 miles on the clock when I got it. It's a lot less thirsty than the Beemer!

they're quite nice little cars actually.

I have 'BMN120D' which is a 2009 grey BMW 120 D SE

I like the heated seats best

I got on the bus yesterday, single decker.

That is why I decided to go with BMW when I decided to trade in for something brand new. I found a dealership in Houston that worked very well with me. Momentum BMW was everything I might have asked for in a car dealership. They helped me pick the ideal car and made sure I got a deal on it. Get your brand new car at Momentum BMW Houston TX.

Oh what a pity. Someone seems to have broken your link.

I did not even get that one!

If it had been a Double Decker
Then they would have known that fun and laughter
Is what you were after
Once you'd got on board

only losers take the bus

@Thoth_Hermes - you never told us the end of the "Car won't start" saga - did you get it fixed ??

sorry, been absent a while.

Lots has happened since. I got a new battery which has better voltage etc cos is new and works good.

It was wet the other day and I aquaplaned and the back end span, I did a 180 and smashed both left wheels into the pavement. That was scary, time slowed down and I remember staring at my friend's face as terror set in, 'Feels Like Heaven' by Factory Fiction blaring on the stereo as we slid across the wide road.

Lessons being learned, no one hurt. My car needs a new wheel which is on it's way, second hand, I will fit then take the car to get it's alignment checked.

... oh hell, the f**king springtime ... ... good, you (and your friend) were lucky at least ... ...

I've spun out like that (although I did it in snow, not water) and it is fooking scary. My sympathies.

Oh and you'll probably be needing a new pair of these:

glad you're ok though.

Tanks for the sympathies, glad no one else was there, could have been bad.

Those wheels are nice, I might get some black ones to match Black Planet I have blasting out of the car as I ride around in the radiation we are having down South today.

A much safer bet than Fiction Factory - that was probably a major contributory factor in your spin. TSOM - an integral part of road safety.
