Trust me Charlie, we all wish we could, sadly I go on the side of caution and pay someone rather than bugger my beloved.charlE30 wrote:Sounds like a job well done mateI just pity people that aren't capable of doing it themselves...

I probably could do the jobs myself as im not comletely dense, but when my mate is a BMW mechanic at my local dealership, its daft not to get him to do it fpr a little beer money.
