To be honest, an initial drive by to suss out the vendor and the car would be useful. If you have the time for a proper look around then even better.

Well I dont start work until lunch time tommorow, so I will give them a call in the morning and just pop in and see what its like. Can take photos if you want but it does look splendid.



Will PM findings!

Dunno. One of those five quid passenger seat bypass jobbies did the trick for me.

Good effort! When't the MOT due? Airbag light will fail it now I believe.
Not yet. It's on the list of things that are just an advisory during the intial 'training period' which VOSA seemingly keep extending.

Thanks Chris, much appreciated anyway. Touched by the offers to be honest, it's a great help to me.

Oh and I sent a link to the Mrs saying: 'nobody will understand this car, in fact I'm not sure I do'

Reply: 'I'm sure i'll love it if you think it's cool'

Perfect answer then.

Well if I can help someone buy it I won't be tempted at the end of this month (or next when I'll have a war chest).

A lot of it nice by itself or with other things. The wood is ok with Oxford/beige but not really here. The black dash is always great and sports seats would be nice.

I spent ages reading up about this before sending the Z4 for an MOT with an airbag light on. The latest VOSA 'newsletter' to MOT testers extended it into 'The Summer'.

Then the BMW dealer fixed the airbag light with a simple reset anyway hehe
