Thanks guys for the feedback and Mark you were right on the money,it was the fuel pump. Arrives monday.

Was just pulling out of a drive way and the engine died.All the electrics seem fine from the cockpit perspective and would still turn over just wouldnt fire into life. Checked all the fuses.OBC didnt display any faults.

Does anyone know of any mechanics here in Nelson they could reccomend? My baby died on me tonight. Any help or advice appreciated.

Fantastic,real talent

Some instructions would be greatly appreciated matt.

Thanks for the usefull info Mark.My slushmatic has the jerk also.Will pay a visit to aceomatic. Hope all is working out for you on trademe.I am curious as to who the new member of your bavarian family is going to be.

"Car cover orrrrrr get some of this sh*t I have here. Its industrial grade cat repellant. I have a bucket here... lace the property with it and what ever you do .. do get it on your hands ... youll smell like mothballs for ever." Quote hybrid Where did you get this from Hybrid? The little buggers are crapping all over my lawn.Ive already bought a cover for my car to stop the footprints.

Thanks guys for all your comments and feedback. I took my haynes manual into the workshop and showed the mechanic the list of jobs for inspection 1 and 2.He assured me they had done all the checks for both inspections except the trans flush with filter,the micro filter and the fuel filter.I will sort these myself hopefully with some help from local bimmersport members. The engine flush additive I picked up a few weeks before from the guy and added to engine the day before I took it in.(wynns engine flush) I would like to do inspection 1 myself but have a mechanical warranty so need the mechanics stamp in the back of my book. Im still not sure what to do for the next service but will decide in about another ten thousand kays. Once again thanks for all your help and feedback,greatly appreciated.

Lol.Touching wood as I type

A good point normally but when I picked the car up the mechanic made a point of mentioning he was suprised that he'd used 8.5 litres.Where did it all go?

Thanks for the link.Very helpfull. RE: your battery replacement,thats thinking with the right part of your anatomy I will ring mechanic tomorrow and hopefully it was an inspection II although he didnt mention anything at the time and he knows im serious about the maintenance. Since you pointed that out elmarco I checked my manual.It says 6.5 litres.Mmmm

This was my first service.I had oil service and inspection lit up on dash .They reset both lights and stamped my book for warranty purposes. This wasnt done at my local dealers although the mechanic that performed the service does have a lot of experience with bmw. I would have liked to get the inspection 2 service done as this was my first but was told this was eight hundred and fifty dollars.I dont have that kind of money at the moment.The missus gave me a hard enough time about the seven hundred. I do have the the haynes and bently manuals.Any advice appreciated. Where did you get that done mark? Your car looking fine in your sig,luvin that m style front.

I was shown the belt.It was perished and definately needed replacing but as for plugs I have to do the trust thing. Thanks for the reply.

Hi guys Took my baby in for her first service other day.Was told week before service would cost five hundred. I dont mind too much what it cost as long as I get a fair deal and the service is whats needed. I was hoping some one could look over this and tell me if this invoice is normal. thanks for any and all advice. ESale.doc

fantastic,made my night

excellent +1

Not only the expansion tank but I also still have the plastic thermostat cover.Fun and games. Just as well we love these cars.

Not the end of it. Anyone know what I mean when people say bad things happen in threes. Day after I got car back the check coolant light message came up.While checking I noticed top radiator pipe seem to have come loose.Upon closer inspection the plastic part of the radiator that the top hose joins on to was completely broken off. I love plastic parts. Ive looked at the full alloy radiators but unfortunately would have to starve my family for a few weeks to afford one. The good news now is at least I know thermostat,waterpump and radiator are all replaced.
