I'm hoping for a recommendation on a BMW specialist, ideally in or around Bridgend / Cardiff?

Thanks.

Waterfall Garage on Brackla Industrial Estate is an Alfa & BMW specialist. I have known Chris for years.

My problem is intermittent loss of power / rough running usually when the car has warmed up - it's a 2008 520D. For the first time on the weekend the car wouldn't maintain an idle and died after 10 seconds or so. I eventually got it going by starting on part throttle and holding at 3000rpm before driving off. Otherwise it would just die.

A couple of possibles came up on the diagnostic. They reset the errors and I'm taking it back tomorrow to run through again. I've bought a new MAF sensor so that will be fitted tomorrow and we'll take it from there.

Really helpful and friendly chap.

Thanks for the recommendation DHE. John at Waterfall was extremely helpful and (fingers crossed), my car problems have been resolved.

Big thumbs up for Waterfall.
