You were right BMW said it was fuses. It's a bit annoying as I looked at them all and the breakdown guy tested them all. £192 for BMW to tell me that

Got the breakdown guys out. They couldn't fix it. It has an immobiliser fault and also it says failed to connect to ECU, they suggested I take it to BMW

Hi Guys, Not posted on here for a while but I have had a problem meaning I now can't drive home from my parents. I was investigating why my blower doesn't work and the famous final stage resister you can't get any more. Anyway I took the radio and blower control out to check if the...

To be honest i didn't think they were handed because the hose bracket is not angled like the original they are vertical on the tube

I'll get to my workshop tomorrow and get some pics. Got till Wednesday when it runs out. I have asked hel hoses what the spec is of the standard part so i can get them ordered asap if needed

Hi guys, Not been on here in a while but looking for some advice. The zed just failed it's MOT, the first MOT since fitting the BC racing damper, due to the difference in the brake hose bracket angle. The words are as the pic attached, but basically they don't have enough room to move. Has...

Just a little update, not be on here for a while. The zed has started to be fixed. She just had new boots and brakes (having some trouble retracting the pistons so new pads next week). Fitted the BC coil overs and really impressed with how it sits on the road, corners a lot flatter, feels like...

Thanks guys

No sawed the old one in half, at the Y piece. Fitted super sprint rear section

Yeah i made sure I asked at the start. Only cost me 180 to keep the car. Just need to ensure i get my excess back from the third party insurer

Insurance wrote it off :( They are offering a good price though, I am thinking of cutting my losses and get another one with a bigger engine. Only real loss will be my exhaust mod

I paid £554 second year of driving at 24yrs old. With the claim adied it was £1115

That uplift was just me doing a comparison between with and without the no fault claim on comparethemarket

I just realised i'm gonna be shafted and left out of pocket whatever happens. If the claim goes through and it gets repaired my insurance premium goes up £500 even though it wasn't my fault and I wasn't even there. Which means if I cancel the claim I have to fix it from my own pocket plus now it...

I will call the fleet insurance at our company and see what they suggest. As it doesn't effect the person who did it, I will have so see if they will pay a lump sum for the repair
