After many moons of looking, picked up a (slightly ratty) 325i Touring last week. However - oil pressure light is flickering, and could really do with someone taking a look at it as soon as possible... Anyone know of someone round Leicester/Coventry who might be able to take a look, and also maybe give the thing a much-needed service at the same time?
Cheers
Mark

I visited the place in Loughborough once...walked into the office and no-one was about. Garage doors were wide open and no-one was in there either, with lots of various BMWs parked up. The key cabinet, with all the keys conveniently labled with reg-numbers, was wide open in the unattended office...
Maybe I was being piccy, but I decided not to leave my car with them.

I've been past that place quite a few times and never liked the look of it, either looks like Dazzle says or looks closed down.

Thanks for asking. Dropped it in to him this afternoon; he's going to try and take a look tomorrow morning. Hoping that it's oil pressure sender, and that the 'dry bearing'-type noise at 1.5-2k revs is unrelated (and cheap to fix!). Keeping fingers crossed...

That's good, he's normally really booked up when i've been to see him. Very helpful and knowledgable bloke!
