Just finished refitting the decor grills which are a pita to get out. This is a post that needs images which will have to follow. Some Philips Ultinon 3021 now adorn the units and the difference is literally night and day as would be expected. Of course they needed Canbus adaptors but i made a great...

What’s the issue that you need to go to ZF for? I think they only have the two passenger car centres in the UK, but there are a few Approved service centres. I had my fluids done by a BMW Indy. Cost just over £1k using OEM fluids (Lifeguard 8, diff oils (there were three or four different ones need...

Are you using a PC or laptop, or a mobile device? I'm using a laptop.

I use a tablet. Wouldn't think it would matter?

This is screwy, filters are supposed to help. If i just enter my nearest town i get results that are all commercial . If i add ZF in the search box i get an agent in Croydon Surrey shown with no contact detail, but the map on the side shows Gravesend in Kent. Erith would be possible, but why doesn't...

Very curious

Curious

I tried again. With my postcode, no results. With just UK 3 results

I emailed the factory in Germany asking for a nearby centre, they sent me a link to follow.

From my postcode, the nearest centre is apparently in France

Is there a UK base that anyone can share with me?

Tried Direct Line again, quote was £1032.

Ignorance is bliss, supposedly. Swinton are only brokers, which I didn't know so if you buy via them i dont know who I'd be insured with. Add the wheels uncertainty and ill have to keep looking or attempt to haggle with the NFU on Monday .

Direct Line declined to quote

My thoughts exactly. But the Meerkat website doesn't offer input for specific criteria. Is a 20" OE wheel a modification over the 19" if both are original to that model of car? If the car.is purchased pre-owned would the new owner know of the change, i suspect not. Aftermarket wheels i cou...

Trying to get clarity from insurace companies can be tedious
Car built with 19" wheels.
Changed to 20" OE option wheels
Added 19 OE wheels for winter tyres

They dont know what to tell me,

Insurance is beyond frustrating. Swinton advise that as i have changed wheels from OE 19 to 20, albeit they are X6 OE wheels, its a modification. This is one reason why I've stayed wth the NFU for so long. Their approach to this sort of thing is sensible. It brings into question, what the deal is wi...

I hope the tank isnt located where an E71s is. Had the osf wheel off, wing liner and trim and dropped the sill cover to access it. Got a bill in the £000s and a present of blue/white jelly like stuff. Galling when its only had BMW fluid in my years of ownership
