Car went in today for mot work. Brake pipes and ball joint. I got supplied the wrong bloody ball joint so im not happy.
then they realised that the tank had to be removed which means more work and more money.

Then i get another fone call saying that the the fuel tank has had it.
So now i got to Try and sorce a tank for the touring and it has to be local to me.
How i gona do that i dont know and BMW want Ԛ£200 plus the vat for one.

Ive contemplated just scrapping the bloody thing.
But today has been a real bad one

If your car is at a garage, GSF sometimes deliver to them. I've had that done before, get the garage to recieve the parts then drop my car down when they arrive.
