Do some reading up, then at precisely 2:25 AM, go out and start checking. The cold weather will help you concentrate more :jester:

Could be the stalk. I think I have one if you need it ?

Let me know if you NEED them tomorrow. I'll be aiming to head down around 3PM.

First auto car I owned was a 325i Sport.....Was mint, got it for a song!
About four months after getting it......I spun it on a roundabout!
Guess what, I sold it the next day for more than I bought it! From that day forth, I vowed never to own another auto!!
