Motors Chat - Round 6

Alanstrainor

Continuation from motors chat round 5

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

Yeah but would you trust me to do a welding job like that? I know i wouldnt :P

Welding isn't that difficult, the better you get at it, the less cleaning up you have to do afterwards. Making the replacement piece is the hard bit

Chaps - the car (2005 E90) is due for a service in about 4000km which by her current driving standards is about 2 months away. Do you guys ever get a car serviced early or just wait until it's actually due?

The car is driving fine..... just watching the countdown to zero it's starting to bug me that I should bring it in early!

For me it doesnt matter what the Service Indicator says I just service it every 8k miles

coolisin

What Ardennes said.
I don't like the long service interval on BMW's ill be honest!

I change oil and filter every 6000 miles or 6 months. Buying oil in 25 L drums makes it cheap as well. Obviously I couldn't do that if it was going to a garage to get done

The gtv. The engines are known to like drinking their oil, but this one doesn't. Just have to make sure it's at the max on the dipstick

Stuck these on the front seats today, i thinks it's a nice feature, whats the general verdict?

I'm unsure tbh. I'd have to see it in real life.

It's just a decal of sorts, I'll try get some better pictures later, I'm giving them a trial run shall we say

Engine Light in the E46 cause is finally known!

MAF Sensor, typical enough and I suspected it to be the cause.

Also - new cat will be required for the next NCT - this one is out

I like them. Will they last long though with all the friction and what not.

Yeah they're up enough that I don't actually touch off them, so they should be there a while

tomorrow sees me getting the last piece of the puzzle for the oil leaks, the rear crankshaft seal, then it's all but a waiting game

I'm the same, and now flat out with a small little job, the project car, studying for exams, it's looking like a bleak time ahead for pickles

Without resorting to using my Mirouku with Alphamax number 4's, what's the best way of keeping pigeons off my car?

The feckers love waddling over the roof, then using the rear windscreen as a slide. Yes, a fun slide :mad: I've even put a decoy pigeon in a nearby decoy car but nope, still go for the Merc.... I wouldn't mind but they must land in muck first, claw prints all over the roof!!!!

I have nowhere else to park the car either due to.... Lack of room :rolleyes:
