My BMW 530d failed her MOT today on both track rods and front brake discs and pads.
It's a job I could easily do myself were it not for my broken back. As much as I'm uncomfortable asking, I'd be really grateful for someone giving me some help please. Mechanical knowledge not needed, I can guide you, I just can't actually physically do it.
Happy to pay a fair rate plus coffee and biscuits! :y

Oh come on. broken Back, neck and ribs, and you can't do it yourself . Wimp ;D
Can't help you, but hope you're on the mend :y

James, I'm sure you will already have someone to drive you to Serek's, but if you get stuck, I will come to you and drive you over there.

Fair enough :y

Very generous offer, are you sorted yet? :)

I'm very grateful to all you kind folk :y just awaiting a reply from Serek :y

I'd be happy to do it for you anytime this week, but I suspect the distance rules it out.

That's a very fair point. A friend of my wife once saw me hanging a door at our house and commented that she needed a couple of doors replaced. I told her that, despite it looking ok once it was done, I had dropped a couple of bowlocks whilst doing it and managed to hide them nicely. I wouldn't want to be doing that at anyone else's house.

Good stuff. Pat yourself on the back... no, wait, don't do that!
-
James .. only days I can't do in the few weeks are any Fri, Sat, Sun (tin tenting) and Wed 15th June. So, depending on when/if Serek can fit you in, and the expiry of the current MOT, feel free to yell.
I know you know I've done trackrods & brakes before, but 1) never on a BM, and 2) if I slip and break a sensor, cross thread something, etc etc, its a big difference to doing it on my own motor - my responsibility, and doing it on yours !! ..... that's why I'm sort of unwilling to offer to do the work.
Regards
Nige

Also willing to help James if I can, have Full Comp Trade Insurance so fully legal to drive your car if needed, bear in mind Im North London / Essex / Herts Borders based though.
-
Others might be willing to help, but find your location of Gloucestershire/Buckinghamshire too vague. Where are you, James?
-
Thank you all very much for your replies... Serek is helping me out :y
