  2. Eurgh come to it today, it was tapping its tits off, but 2 year stagment oil, not surprised!! Got it about 100 metres and noticed the temp gauge was past half way, thought I'd see hot far it would go before the light came on, turns out it wasn't far! Popped the bonnet an. The sending water feed was red hot, but the return was still cold. Took it back to the guy I borough it from, turns out it was an air trap in the rad, going to pick it up tomorrow now! Body work wise now I had a proper chance to look isn't wonderful, but there Isn't any dents! Just paint is rough. Colour correction Sunday! What other problems may I run into with a car That's been standing 2 years?

  13. Which 3series BMW model is everyone comparing?
  14. So would going through a second hand car dealer be better?
  15. Dealer ideally. So if I was accepted, would they finance me, and then I go to the dealer and pick a loverly gt86 Not entirely sure how the whole process works. Was on my mind but never looked into it.
  16. Righteo, I am looking for a car on finance, 21, I work as a pallet checker as my main job, and a retained firefighter as my secondary job, on about 2000 a month post tax. My credit rating is just under okay, because as a youth a tried to get a loan lots of Times leaving a footprint On my credit rating. I rent (unfinished) if that makes a difference? would I be eligible? Ideallywithout part exing the zimzimmar!
  17. Dear Mr Jardo, can I speak to you in regards to getting a car on finance? If you have a free moment or two!
  18. Argh ny e36 is beeping at me. It's 109% not the memo, speed and temperate warning beep. It started last night and happened about 5 times in the space of an hour. It pauses the music to play three one second beeps! Must admit, the speakers might end up coming out if it continues. Will £800 wax fix this?
  19. Jardo, I can borrow a rotary mop, what's g3/g5 compound (yellow bottle one) like for the job? I have loads of wax and detailer, Never moped a car so need advices Mr J.
