Re: what sort of mpg ?

My 316 automatic ranged between 22-26mpg around, i struggled to get near 30mpg. That was with a well maintained and serviced engine, tried different petrol stations, filling tyres to correct amount.

Re: Manual Headlight ADjustment.

The light in problem is the one with the bosch sticker on it. It only has one screw adjuster - which doesnt seem to do anything but twist. I cant seem to find the second adjuster screw.

Any ideas to repair this?

Re: Engine cutting out

It is so annoying not knowing what is wrong. I dont want to keep replacing parts which dont need replacing just so I know what is the cause of the problem. Will take it to a specialist (midlandbm) tomorrow down the road, hope he knows.

I thought it could be this,if it isnt the Blue Temp Sensor then what could it be? My thoughts initially were a dodgy fuel pump or something simple clearly not. :(

Re: Road traffic Collision with POLICE!

She has told her insurance I have told mine there are mixed views. My insurance have said its most like both parties to be at fault. But we will see.

I have informed my insurance company now I let everyone know of the outcome.
