First of all, is there supposed to be a bonnet prop somewhere underneath the bonnet, or are the hinges supposed to hold the bonnet up? I nearly decapitated myself earlier when the wind blew the wrong way...

Secondly, the 60mph judder - is it always the same bushes that go, or is it a case of getting them all checked? I'm thinking it's about £200 to do the job, is that right?

And can anyone recommend a BMW specialist in the Teesside-Yorkshire area to have a look for me?

No Bonnet prop, they do that in the wind!

And usually, yes.. sounds about right the price does

Ah. Brilliant bit of design... trolley jack handle will have to do then.
