Stevebrookman Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 No big trip or poo count as car was 10 mins walk away. Collected the BMW I mentioned last week. Took it for a test drive on Tuesday-very nice drive. Heater fans fixed themselves (bloke put new hedgehog in-made no difference-fans came on halfway through test drive)-I think it was a dodgy relay-anyway bits are cheap for these. It was put through an MOT on Thursday and passed with three advisories-rear tyres-which I already knew (seller told me about these) and a slight oil leak from the sump. Paid a grand-not bad in these times-94000 miles, a couple of owners, stamped service booklet up to last year (for what its worth) and a body that is severely lacking in rust (apart from a small pleb on the rear arch). Plus point again is steel wheels (wifes car)-spare is MIA but one from my spare Senator wheels fits. So happy so far- will tax on Weds , change engine oil,gearbox oil and spark plugs. Focus being picked up next week by car take back-£241-had it 9 years-paid £2000 so not bad apart shitting the PAS pipes 3 times.

Matty Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Very nice. What engine/box is it? Stevebrookman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevebrookman Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 318i-its the older 1.9 8valve which is supposed to be a longer lived engine (apparently) and auto box. Vince70 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
