    Trashed my Bumper

    Quick update. Been a good day to a certain extent. Took it to a couple body shops nearby, and all said it was not repairable, but needed replacement. Further investigation revealed damage to the bumper mounts on the car, which really mean it is out of the scope of me fixing. My excess is...

    Auto Windscreen Wipers

    Yeah I know that one - but I don't think it is that - I am talking about the sensitivity of the sensor that seems to be quite poor! On the most sensitive setting it is still quite poor. Maybe they are all like that!

    Steering Noise

    Hi Gavin Checked the fluid, and it is toppers so no issues there. In fact the noise is hardly noticeable any more. Seems very strange - it was not particularly cold at the weekend. So no idea. All seems ok though.

    Steering Noise

    Bit of a strange new noise cropped up today. Steering wheel left to right, and right to left, and a faint whiney noise is audible, which I can only describe as being similar to a scalextric motor. Anyone know what this is, or experienced it? Sorry about it being a dodgy description!!

    Thanks mate - i get to park outside my office and can't help having a sneaky peak now and again throughout the day! It is quick - and grippy - but even driving sedately makes me smile. So much better than the 525D I had before. So much better!
