Need an inspection done on a 335d in Essex
Discussion
I'm looking at a car in Basildon - but I want to get an inspection done on it first. I found one place online: http://powerdevelopments.co.uk/ - but just wondering if anyone know if they are reputable, or anyone else you would recommend?
Thanks

Just a follow up to my comments regarding DPF tests.
I looked at a 63k mile car this week. Told the vendors I would need the car delivered to a BMW main dealer to have a full inspection and specifically to establish the condition of the DPF.
The said they'd take it to an Indy they use 3 minutes away. I was sceptical but went with their with the sales guy anyway.
The Indy plugged their diagnostics in and did a DPF flow test at idle, 2000rpm and maximum revs. The DPF flow rates were well within the permissible tolerances, and the technician described the DOF condition as "like new".
The running water temperature was checked as well and showed 74.75 degrees, as we'd only been for a 10-15 road test the technician said the car needed to be run for another 15 minutes to ensure the thermostat was functioning correctly (and the car running at 75 degrees or above)
All the temperature and pressure sensor readings were in spec and showed the sensors were functioning correctly.
The tests took no more than 5 minutes.
