- Glad you like the 7, it is a nice car! Fuel consumption is surprisingly good on a run, I have had an average of 32mpg before which I am quite happy with! I kinda agree with the weather etc for Ace Cafe, its a long way from Swindon and a much nicer night out when warmer!! :-)

- Hi John, thanks for the advice. I'm going to try to get the car into a garage tomorrow, do you have any ideas on what sort of price you think it will be to get it sorted? Thanks, Tony

- Hi John. Hope you can make it to Santa Pod, it was a really good show and great fun when we went last year, more so than Gaydon and definately worth the trip! Get RK to put you on the reserve list so if there are any spaces left you will get one of them!
Hope to see you there :-)

Fan motor anyone? 7 Replies
I don't suppose anyone has an auxiliary fan motor for a 2000 E38 do they. Needs to be the last type with the three pin connector and no resistor packs.
