    Funny you should mention that Bazza, there is currently a recall as of 29/06/19 on all E60 BMWs as the battery cable which runs from the boot to the engine bay remote starting point travels through some kind of bulkhead fitting and in certain circumstances it can set fire to the car.

    Mine is going in in the middle of August to be replaced. Apparently if in remarkably good condition they just smear it with a large helping of grease. In worse case scenarios if there is visible rust they are offering to replace the whole boot floor and the battery cable junction!!!!!!

    My chav upgrade is almost complete :D

    525D Badge removed and replaced with a pair of M-Sport ones.

    Got a new pair of bushes and a new pin for the clutch pedal as the pedal was too low and the the clutch start switch was intermittent. Grand sum for the repair parts from BMW was £8.60!

    [​IMG]

    Also found some correct colour tint polish for the leather and changed it from this......

    To this.

    Got this yesterday ....

    1E477815-A611-4F91-8611-054FC1BB856C.jpeg

    ......when the car went in for the recall. Just got a bit of grease applied to the battery terminal and a video report of no corrosion underneath. Not bad for 13 years old though. The 320D M-Sport loaner was lush though.

    My son bought an R6 we HPI checked it, 2 months later we got a call from the police saying the person selling should not have sold it as he was in prison, the police said they had "locked down his assets" you would have thought they would compound the bike? We complained and no further action
