    I was just going to take the good bits and re-list it.  200K is right where I would expect to need to replace everything I just replaced at 100K on mine.

    don't say that, @Aprils one just about to hit that mark. Over the last 80,000ish km's it's been fluids, brake pads/rotors, tyres, rear bushes, xenon bulbs and a coil pack. Pretty good all things considered.

    Actual noisey tappets, that Italian tune doesn't fix, probably means dead cam ledge seals and cooked cam tray/head... Would be a gamble on needing a new engine without pulling the cams out to check. Wouldn't be worth much. 

    Could just be air in the head, had same thing happened on my 130i after an oil change, ended up fixing it by holding revs at 4000 for 5min. Lumpy idle could be a bung coil, also had that happen to me. Still an auto though

    Highlighting this thread up for visibility.

    @Jamez I think you have helped in the other thread to answer how the site is currently hosted and what is being done to sort out the downtime that occurred.  Are you able to provide some figures for traffic etc?

     

    ~25GB a day of traffic and 65GB of disk (it was 300GB before I compressed all the old pictures), so something that allows 1TB of traffic per month and 100GB of disk would be about right, that would cost ~$20usd a month with Amazon lightsail ($350nzd per year).

    Whilst the site is not as active as it once was, there is still quite a bit of traffic to it due to the historical content here and bimmersport ranking pretty highly in google searches.

    This thread hasn't done anything to change any timelines. I had planned to do the node swap last week but put my spare time towards sorting out a 2KCUP event that was organised at late notice.

    I only host the site (among others) because it's a chance for me to try things out on something production like, for instance things I might use in a professional role and for this reason I don't charge bimmersport for the hosting.

    You can probably now see how the above would work against sharing out the workload and dumping it in a simple cloud instance. The forum is updated but the theme is old, so with each bug fix the theme will become less and less feature rich as they deprecate functions etc etc.

    I need to spend a night finishing off the HA failover setup but I just haven't found the time as of yet. In saying that it is currently hosted in multiple sites so if it goes down you can change your hosts file to 103.19.4.58 (from 101.100.136.17).

    I tried enabling HTTPS from within the site a while ago but it breaks pretty much everything, again I need to spend a night going through everything to figure out why it it is broken at each point. I was hoping that I could just tuck it behind a proxy and leave the proxy to sort it out but from memory the issue was around 3rd party elements. The easiest fix is probably just going to be a new site theme (again more time).

    I'll see if I can find some time to sort it out this month, but at the same time I am sure if someone wanted to acquire bimmersport and host it themselves then Ollie and Andrew would be more than happy to talk.

    I've since removed the failing node from the cluster and ordered a replacement, this node accounted for nearly all the failures in the last year.
