I had the light grey cloth repair done for the upper & lower bolster on the drivers seat.

Along with this work, he fitted rear headrests & took my sunroof apart to replace the drip tray & other parts.

I paid cash, so no reciept for breakdown of prices for each piece of work.

He used to do all the interior repairs for the E30 series for BMW back in the day & he has rolls of the cloth from that period. He repa...

OHC Engine Oil Light Problem

The engine oil light in the overhead check control comes on after I have been driving for about 10 mins.

I have checked the oil level as its fine, nearly full.

Does anyone know what else could cause the light to come on?
