Pretty easy to do once you have the knack for it, best way to fill the system is to turn the hose going into the thermostat so it's pointing right up then fill it from there and it should bleed up much quicker

Don't want to speak to soon, but I've done over 12k in the last year and only had to change tyres and a bearing for the MOT...

Also got some other bits, a lad I used to work with gave me 2 brand new grilles for nothing so I can have a matching pair.

As well as that, I had a JVC head unit sat by my a desk which came back under warranty, has been for testing with JVC and there's nothing wrong with it so I rescued that from the bin! It's not anything special but it's got a volume dial, the one in the car now is fiddly and annoying.

Got a week off as of Friday so I'll get all these bits sorted

So, the wife has taken it to work this morning and the brakes have gone properly spongey.

About to order some Goodridge hoses through work and will fit them next week.

I can see why you say FML a lot Jambo

Ermm. Its a dark blue? Unsure of the name of it. Full clean cream leather in it which i'll be selling. No faults what so ever and extremely tidy outside even with 176k miles on it. 1 grandad owner previously and I paid £600

Yup, they have been BADLY refurbed and I mean BADLY. So looking to do them up and shift them on for a profit.

Happy to let them go for what I paid for them if you fancy a challenge!

Also, I will have M3 calipers for sale soon If you wish to upgrade

Whats the 330ci upgrade?

Make sure if you get second hand calipers you rebuild them. All BM's are prone including mine, my Dads 330 and Shreks 325i.
