« on: 24 August 2019, 07:04:08 »
Already had mine done but mine was its third recall
After the first they found there was 3000 models fitted with a differant heater motor.
Hence me having to go back again
Now the latest one is my third
I believe the latest is whole dash out

You park as you arrive, so you could end up with a boom box Corsa one side of you and an F type Victor the other. Heard mixed reviews of last years event. Those who hated anywhere but Billing said it was fantastic. Those who tried it said it was not all that. I am going to jumble on the Saturday, mainly as I have a lot of bits that are wanted by people so it makes the trip worth while even if nothing else sells in the jumble

Depends what model Zaf it is. My "A" was mid range and had a single while the "B" is SRI and has twin.
My 2.5 diesel elite estate only had a single

BMW,s are now, as the old phrase used to say"As common as a Cortina".
The BMW driver needs to be noticed.
Now they buy Audis.
As Ron said, Audi drivers used to be couteous but not now
And, when buying a BMW, dont you know by having their name on the resistration document, that means they own the road

Automatics were called "Bumper cars" where I did my apprenticeship. Because they would receive the largest amount of bumps caused by the nut behind the steering
What I think is programmed into the ECU of modern cars is to hold the revs for the average amount of time for a gear change to take place. This is due to the drive by wire throttle control being so unresponsive as most F/L Omega drivers would agree with. My 07 Zaf does the same thing with its revs

The best bit about keeping a 60,s car cool inside was the side vent on the front doors. Turn it right round and it blasted the air in from outside. My first real car was a 64 FB Victor estate with these followed by a 101 Victor with them as well
