    Your BMW dealer is better than ours Taz, when the 530d goes in for more random part replacement to fix the climate control we usually get a dirty 1 Series to drive around in and thats it

    Let us have a 320Cd SE this time though, 55 plate, and I went on the insurance \o/

    My dads car (Ford Fiesta SI);

    Exaust is a bit loose,
    Electric Drivers Window doesn't work,
    Rear Windwiper doesn't work,
    Left wing mirror isn't adjustable (didn't work before but some football hoolagun knocked it off and has been taped back on lol),
    Speaker sometimes goes very loud with bad noise (rare it happens though),
    Left Indicator keeps coming loose every now and then (works sometimes, sometimes it doesn't).

    That's all that I know of, not bad for the £300 he bought it for though - Everything else works great.


    Oh, me and my dad have also smelt the clutch burning a couple of times, but that's it.

    What's wrong?
    Don't have one =( Makes for a good "why are you late?" excuse though.

    "Sorry I'm late, had car problems"
    "What was wrong"
    "Don't have one!"

    Works about 10% of the time.

    His engine fan comes on sometimes when its not even hot, this is a known problem with the heat sensor on this particular batch of mini's tho, it's usually fixable by wiggling the cable round a bit. (hehe)

    Windscreen wiper blades could do with replacing.

    Exhaust is a tad rusty.

    Fixed the dodgy wheelbearing i had.

    Need to replace the wrong rear spolier with the right one i have here as its half undone and rattling.

    Need to finish installing the 'leccy windows in the back and figure out what relays i'm short of to make them get power!.

    Starting to get a bit of a wobble under braking, and will also have to check the discs...think they may be getting past their sell by date.

    Hmmm where to start really...

    Steering wheel makes a weird squeeking sound like it's rubbing on the dash material, but only when the car has been driven for over 1/2hr

    Had my auxilary belts changed (its a peugeot serpintine system) and now makes a strange sound when under load.

    Seats have got huge holes in where they have worn away. All the electrics are fubar'd, if you wind down the electric windows the headlights dim .

    Drivers side seat won't look in place on the left hand side meaning that it has about 5-10mm of play.

    I hate 306's roll on e30 325i drift slag

    Well..
    think the only stuff thats wrong with my car is self-inflicted... if i hadnt of messed with it.. i wouldnt have these problems

    Suspension bushes worn
    Front turret topmounts shot
    engine mounts weak
    various rattles from dash from when i installed blutooth carkit
    tyres of dubious legality - especially one that was the passenger front tyre @ bruntingthorpe
    farting speakers - too much power from new head unit.
    clutch slowly dying - cant handle the power, have been driving round the problem for a year and a half, but it gets that little bit worse every time i use full throttle.


    oh, and you cant see the rear numberplate coz its so dirty

    Whats wrong with my car? Blimey, where do I start?

    o The driver's seat heater heats one degree C too cold
    o I can't hit the official 0-60 time of 5.2s - its always 5.5. That really sucks.
    o The leather seats smell too much of leather
    o When I ever I press the accelerator pedal, there's this loud roaring noise. Garage keep fobbing me off, telling me "its just the engine, its supposed to do that".

    I could go on, but it is too much a tale of woe.
