Agreed. Thats what I mean about the "perfect" christmas. If you dont have the right presents, tree, decorations, food, clothes, light etc etc from the right place, your christmas wont be perfect.

We have a tree I know but I'm the same. People just say well thats not in the sprit! or come on you scrooge. I don't mind xmas but I hate how annoying it is when its mid week, how much it costs and how the companies and people pressure you to have the "perfect" christmas.

Hopefully you can get it sorted out easily mate

Well thats not very christmassy

Minimal You should have played it like your all fancy. "my tree represents the post modernism of our over commercialised christmas culture. I do this as boycott. I also leave santa muesli and soya milk."

LOL!!!

This should be contender for worst post as Rich just said that

I've heard quite good reviews of autosmart WAX.

WOW!

boooo get your coat!

I had already been on to Shiply and received some reasonable quotes the cheapest being 20% of the £1,200 I was quoted by a local company - not sure whether that included 2 nights at the Aylesbury Sheraton!!After some consideration, I am going to trailer it down on a trailer hired from McIntosh of Brechin - £39 per day. Given the nature of the fault(s) on the car I think it is best to talk face-to-face to try to explain all the various cut-outs/misfires/non-starts. The choice of company appears to be between DS Automotives in Aylesbury, the only APS dealer or Abbey Motorsport who seem to be very highly rated in various repairs/tune-ups on this forum. Have to get the de-mountable tow-bar on my X3 to work first though. Shame I can't use a more local company but there you go! Cheers Honestly if I was you take it to Abbey. I know they arent cheap and stuff like that but trust me they will fix the car for you. Mark is always helpful and knows his stuff. I dont let many mechanics near my car as most are crap but I would leave him with the keys no problems. I do get that they are miles away but they WILL most likely fix it for you. There would be nothing worse than getting it 400miles away to another garage who doesnt know. Good luck with whatever you do mate

Where in the country are you? Just so people can point you in the direction of a good garage or can maybe help you. ( although tbh not likly at this time of year)

You would clean up if we did!

They are some nice trees. I actually like SMD's tree.

it is a bit floody

There are plenty with lower mileage than that some people just like to clean and look at their Zed +1. Even if I had a Ferrari I'd drive it everyday as that's what they are for. Otherwise they are sitting there losing money for doing nothing.

Your garage will probably do the above and let it dry for awhile and see if it's ok.

Just get shiply to pick up your car and they will take it to where ever you want for a good bit of money but then at least your car will work.

Sorry to hear that mate. Take the spark plugs out and get any water out by cranking it. It might be ok. Like you say it's only a car so dont worry.

+1 at least you was on an airfield.

After cleaning the maf do the throttle body reset and the idle relearn. It will idle much better after you do them both.

What happened the s2K?

See now we are getting somewhere. Personally if it's got no history id give it the full works and the you know where you are with the car. You can pm the zedmanalex for most service parts. Not sure if he does oil but you need 5-30 but 5-40 will be fine.

Love it!
