Pulled the BMW apart to replace the radiator and aux fan (keeps throwing an EML). Found both aux belts pretty perrished so ordered them up. The lot came to just over £100 saved myself a packet



Also the missus bought this, proper DaveyLC bargain, 2008, HPI clear and 49k. Needs a service and a clean but it's alright:





1.4 Exclusiv so has heated leather and AC and other nice bits and bobs. Insurance friendly for her

The beady eye'd amongst you might notice me going at the BMW with a jigsaw there, the offical method of removing the radiator is to either remove the ac rad as well (no thanks) or separate the viscus fan from it's pulley in some form of knuckle scraping method. Instead I've made a hatch in the fan shroud so I didn't have to either. Lovely day in the sun for me.

Costco jobbie?

I got the same one from there last month.

I've not used mine yet.

Nappies are cheap from Costco so we visit at least once a month. Picked up some Mer polish today.

Yes mate. Arcan 2000kg. 7 pumps until fully up. Makes things so much easier than having to use my unstable ebay one.

Think it was £83, which is very good value for a low profile proper trolley jack.

Meant to be unbeatable value for money those Arcan jacks.

Got a low entry sgs alu jack which has been faultless but the heavier rated Arcan is tempting just now.

Finally moved my exhaust off the bumper.
Such a badly fitting exhaust. So one side still sticks out more than the other but atleast t doesn't rattle.

Maybe you could offer him some friendly parking tips..

When I see shit like that and I'm in my smart car I'll park right up next to the drivers door as close as I can get just for shits and giggles.
