Ken (Scottish Regional Rep) said… - I have to jump in here. MKIV's are very sensitive beasts, it is very common for them to fail if not treated with respect. The need to be powered down before disconnecting the cars battery. Sadly 99% of people do not know this so they just disconnect the battery while the drive is still in use, it does eventually fry them beyond repair.

- You certainly can, no problem. By the way I have the address of a company in Belgeum who supply new thingies, bloody hell I forget the name of the reader. Ah yes the laser. I can give you the address.

- Craig sorry to keep you waiting without me coming back to you. I have continually been down to the repairers shop, to get the nsatnav, unfortunately he has tried three times to get it fixed, and it works then suddenly stops again. unfortunately I have to withdraw my offer to you. NOT FOR THE WANT OF TRYING THOUGH. I meant well.

- Yes all four are the same width. They are genuine BMW bbs. As I said some months ago I paid just under £100 for the refurbishment. However on showing them to Ken Smith Scottish Rep. and Scottish members, they were not impressed with the results. As I am not looking for the earth for them and they are clean I think that the price £100 is quite fair. Plus carriage. unless you can collect. One other thing is that Over the next few weeks I have to make several trips to Doncaster south Yorks, and could take them with me for you to collect (After your approval inspection of course) Did you look at them on my Mymotiv page? Your choice. No arm twisting here.

Sam (Southern Region Rep) said… - So how much are you looking for the wheels? Are all 4 the same width?

- Before you praise me up to the nines, let me make sure that it is repaired ok first. You will have the first and only offer. I will take it down to the laddy right now.

- Further as to cheapness, I can only say that free is the cheapest I can make it. I really cannot go any lower than that. I have a new thingy to have fitted init. I think that last one cost me £30 to have done. Will take it into him ra morra, and will let you know. Rememer free is the lowest I will go. I will let you know the cost of fitting then new part. pluiss postage, and if possible I will pay for that.

- Thank you Craig, more dosh for the Strathcarron Hospice. You never said which award you would prefer. A night with Ann with the option of the Tower of London. Or the running shoes. Please let me know soonest, as Ann gets a bit jumpy without her quick fix.
