Tbh the only thing I could think of for that whole video is how long the oil light stayed on for once the engine was switched on. As far as I know that's a sign that the car is struggling to build oil pressure and could mean bad seals ie on the cylinders and that it may be burning a lot of oil. I could well be wrong though maybe it takes longer to go out on e46's I don't know but still 5-7 seconds your engine is running without have the correct optimal oil pressure and even at that it was warm in the video. I could be talking absolute crap though maybe I'm too use to diesels and petrols take longer to build oil pressure. Sorry for posting about it it's just the first thing that hit me as being unusual also I never realised it was an auto thought yours was a manual for some reason is imagine its nice to drive around town in.

I really don't want 1.3 tons of car dropping on me... Anyone know a decent mechanic in the Blanchardstown area, with a lift, that'll take an exhaust midpipe off, remove the remains of a collapsed catalytic converter, and then refit the pipe - without costing the earth? With a lift, or some sort of pit, it'd be an easy enough job to do. I just can't do it safely at home.

EDIT: Where in dublin you located?
What car do you have? if the car is on 14" wheels then Halfords have a ramp you can get which makes getting under the car very safe. back when I had the honda I used mine alot but the maximum wheel it will take is around 15" I think.

Kind of thinking the MG might look cool de-bumpered, and I was thinking of a rollover bar or even a cage like so Cage: Bar: Saw a Midget racer pretty much the same as the one above at a show recently and thought it looked dead cool, and it was a daily driver too
